the entertainment industry could be the most negatively impacted<\/a> by the NFL\u2019s latest cash grab, citing MoffetNathanson\u2019s note.<\/p>\n\u201cBalancing these budgets \u2018can be achieved by pulling back spending on other areas of content like scripted entertainment and films,\u2019 the analysts wrote. Which likely means less money for Hollywood at a time when so many disruptions are already siphoning money away from Hollywood,\u201d Belloni writes. \u201cHow much? We\u2019ll see, and obviously there are risks to outlets that reduce their entertainment offerings\u2014namely, non\u2013sports fans could tune out or unsubscribe. But even a few billion in annual spend would be felt throughout the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Broadcasters have already started to cut back on scripted entertainment programming in favor of cheaper-to-produce reality TV. But it\u2019s not just the broadcast networks themselves that this will impact. Four of the NFL\u2019s five full-time broadcast partners \u2014 CBS, ESPN, Fox, NBC, and Prime Video \u2014 are owned by parent companies that also own major film studios. Paramount Pictures, Walt Disney Studios, Universal Pictures, and Amazon MGM Studios all, at the end of the day, get their budgets from the same place CBS, ESPN, NBC, and Prime Video do. And if the parent companies are spending billions more on NFL rights each year, that necessarily means there is less to go around for the film studios.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s already a tough time for Hollywood as the industry faces plenty of its own unique challenges. But the ongoing NFL rights negotiations could end up having the most immediate impact on Hollywood from a dollars and cents standpoint as companies reallocate budgets towards the most important entertainment remaining in the United States: the almighty NFL.<\/p>\n
