The strong links with AOL Time Warner could see the company expanding into Australia via Village Roadshow.
AOL Time Warner already has several partnerships with Village: 1: They own half the Theme Parks with Village, 2: The make movies in partnership with Village, 3: Village distributes Warner movies here is Australia and several Asian countries, 4: The both are partners in Warner Village Cinemas, the UK’s largest cinema chain.
After a devastating merger one might consider a takeover of a profitable old economy company like Village. I would expect such a movie next year if The Matrix earn in excess of $2 billion from the box office, Australian economy stays strong and a Tourism boom thanks to Australian Airlines.
