The Disney-Fox giant in five charts




Disney is now the official owner of Rupert Murdoch's former entertainment empire, 21st-First Century Fox.
The mammoth $71bn deal - completed on Wednesday - brings the likes of X-Men, The Simpsons and Fantastic Four characters to Disney's already impressive film catalogue which includes Star Wars and Cinderella.
Disney now also owns the Fox film and TV studios, National Geographic and Indian TV giant Star India.
Ultimately, its aim is to compete with rivals Netflix and Amazon.
Robert Iger, the chairman and chief executive of Walt Disney, said the deal's completion was "an extraordinary and historic moment" and critically one he pledged would "create significant long-term value for our company and our shareholders".
