Netflix will own Purple Rain

Netflix just made a deal to buy Warner Bros. They will now own DC, Harry Potter, Looney Tunes and Purple Rain. I'm not seeing anything about whether or not deal includes WB Records.

Warner Music Group is a separate company, not owned by WBD.

I assume they will own Purple Rain, Under The Cherry Moon & Grafitti Bridge as well as Batman. So, I guess there will be no synergy of soundtrack & movie releases. But as long as Netflix has nothing to do with a Parade or Purple Rain SDE then I'm relieved. Batman will be interesting though, as I assume Netflix will acquire the copyright for batman characters & logos creating a nescesity for some kind of licensing deal for future rereleases. Maybe a copyright expert can will come along and clear that up for us.

Or you could say they go the way round to get this released.
