To All Film Lovers, Animators, Physical Media Collectors, and Theater Owners:

Right now, the future of the motion picture industry is facing a massive crisis. Rumors are breaking that Netflix is aggressively moving to acquire legacy Hollywood studios like Lionsgate. If a trillion-dollar tech monopoly is allowed to swallow historic film libraries, it will permanently damage the free market for consumers, trigger mass layoffs of animation and home video workers, choke out independent film distribution, and push the theater window into a digital black hole.

For years, corporate decisions under leadership like Ted Sarandos have pushed for streaming-first models, quick digital drops, and the reduction of traditional theatrical showmanship. We are saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

We demand that federal and state regulators aggressively investigate and BLOCK any attempt by Netflix to acquire legacy film studios. Furthermore, we call for a complete return to human-driven craftsmanship over AI shortcuts, long theatrical windows, and the permanent preservation of uncompressed physical media like 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays.

The legacy of cinema belongs to the public and the human artists who build it—not to big tech algorithms. Sign this petition, share the hashtag #FireTedSarandos, and let your voice be heard!
