The problem is that Sony lost most of its money due to the Asian market crash in 1995. With Columbia, Sony investors would be warned against any major purchases.
To add to the misery , remember that two biggest deal makers in Hollywood during the 1990s-2000s are Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein....
Consider that Disney not only had major film flops on its hands (e.g. Treasure Planet, Home on the Range, Mars Needs Moms) but had flopped hard with Euro-Disneyworld. So, real estate was really expensive. Disney had already burned through billions in the 1980s with shady land deals which would be the subject of Creepypasta stories, but also attempted to create dystopian communities similar to Henry Ford.
Huh, never knew. Maybe I'll give Disney to Harvey Weinstein or Jeffery Epstein--or I might keep Disney as a independent company since they both were accused of you-know-what.

As you can tell, the politics and dynamics of dealing with Hollywood conglomerates is a lot more complicated than slapping different pieces together.
As for FOX, consider that Rupert Murdoch has nearly bankrupted the company with his many attempts to expand his political influence, such as with FOX News, the phone-tapping scandals in the U.S., UK, and Australia. If his entertainment ventures payoff in one sector, he will channel funds into his political efforts.
Also consider that as seen by Marvel and Star Wars franchises, there is still going to be an industry wide effort to diversify the industry, especially with complaints of lack of female roles, as well as people of color...
Goodbye Touchstone Pictures. Tom and Mickey. Wizard of Oz as a Disney movie. Just pick your poison, really.
Plus, Rainbow Media later ends up under the mouse's wing @TheFaultsofAlts .
This immediately means no Julia Roberts since she was introduced to the world through Pretty Woman, which launched her career. Also consider that without Marvel Comics being purchased by Disney, Robert Downey Jr., admits he would be dead. Up until 2004, Downey was in and out of drug rehab and jail. As to how quickly a person's career can go downhill, consider that Lindsay Lohan and Edward Furlong Jr., were both considered "upcoming stars" throughout the 1990s, yet today neither star is remembered...
Interesting, I can also imagine New World Productions getting bought by the company too. Still figuring out what company should animate the Spider-Verse films, one choice could be ImageMovers (inspired by Timeline-GA).
technically MGM become Touchstone ITTL..also who keep James bond? MGM or UA?
he could beat coca cola and buy Columbia instead
The problem is that for MGM was hemorrhaging cash at a fast rate with flops including The Fantastic Four by Roger Corman and Captain America. Touchstone Pictures was home to Die Hard and Tim Burton films. As such MGM was not in a good place in the early 1990s. Also consider that this was immediately after the Timothy Dalton Bond films, which were considered just barely bankable...
A big problem with Tex Turner purchasing Columbia Pictures is that it would be an extremely high price. You had Boyz N' the Hood to Men in Black.

And now, I have big news...it's time to change Timeline-Deva.
Apparently some info has came to light about Warner Bros and Liberty, along with Paramount too. That I can use.
