About the "new deal" with Turner
The part that says 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment have signed a deal to release pre-1986 MGM films and pre-1952 UA films needs a source from whoever wrote that because I'm not sure that's even true. I have tried searching for this bit of news elsewhere on the internet and I cannot find anything. So whoever put that bit in, please tell me where you got that information from.

Just because Disney is buying Fox and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment will distribute Operation Finale and Bond 25 and maybe a couple of other new MGM films on home media doesn't mean that Universal will replace Fox as the overall home entertainment distributor of MGM's library and select new releases. MGM also has other third-party partners that they co-produced some films with like Warner Bros., Sony and Paramount handle physical home entertainment distribution of not only the co-produced films, but also a couple of MGM's 2018/2019 film releases theatrically self-distributed in the US, for example, Warner Home Video distributed the Orion Pictures release Every Day on home media and will probably distribute Creed II on home media worldwide next year as well, but if the Disney/Fox merger closes and the Fox/MGM deal ends in 2020, then it's possible that Fox's distribution will shift to other companies other than Universal, most likely WB since they own MGM's actual pre-1986 library and was also previously MGM's overall home entertainment distributor during the 90s. 41.57.217.11 (talk) 03:35, 28 October 2018 (UTC) 41.57.217.11 (talk) 03:35, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

 * "In 2018, in light of the acquiring of 21st Century Fox and its assets by the Walt Disney Company, it was confirmed that Universal Pictures Home Entertainment would become the home video distributor of MGM's post-August 28, 2018 releases, beginning with the Blu-Ray/Digital HD release of Operation Finale on December 4, 2018. It's unclear whether Fox will continue home video distribution of MGM's pre-August 29, 2018 film library as their home video output deal won't expire until June 2020." needs to be changed to "On October 10, 2018, it was confirmed that Universal Pictures Home Entertainment would distribute a small amount of MGM's new film releases on home video, beginning with the Blu-Ray/Digital HD of Operation Finale on December 4, 2018. It's the latest of MGM's numerous home entertainment deals with Fox and other third-party studio partners." 41.210.12.246 (talk) 00:39, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * And in the Libraries section, "Through Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, MGM Home Entertainment handles distribution of:" needs to be changed back to "Through 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment (until the end in June 2020), MGM Home Entertainment handles distribution of:". 115.98.224.247 (talk) 02:06, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Why else would Universal Pictures Home Entertainment have the U.S/Canadian home video rights to Bond 25? Sony Pictures Home Entertainment didn't have those rights to Sony's Bond films. MGM kept the U.S Canadian home video rights to the Bond films co-produced by Sony for themselves, licensing them to 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. If Universal Pictures Home Entertainment have the U.S/Canadian home video rights to Bond 25, then shouldn't it be possible Universal will replace Fox as MGM's home video output distributor post-June 2020? --LegerPrime (talk) 20:35, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Unless you have a source, that's speculation and shouldn't be included. Trivialist (talk) 23:18, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

After Disney merger
So after Fox has been bought by Disney, does Disney also handle the home-video distribution of MGM/UA films in Europe? In the prior section, somebody claimed Warner Brothers would "own" the classic MGM/UA library in order to dance around the Disney merger, which is not true. MGM still owns all classic MGM/UA titles themselves, they have simply made home-video distribution deals with two different companies, WB in North America and Fox in the EU. That's why nothing actually changes in North America where the home-vidoe rights to the classic MGM/UA library is still held by WB, which doesn't mean that WB would "own" that library. What's interesting is how things are gonna change in the EU now. --2003:EF:13CC:B697:6110:C5D1:75E2:9ABD (talk) 14:18, 13 February 2020 (UTC)


 * What is the "classic MGM/UA library"? If you mean pre-1986 stuff, Warner literally does own that. Trivialist (talk) 22:00, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
