what is Est?

Anybody who isn't considering some kind of stake in television/cable/streaming content now is not seeing or thinking clearly. And it's a vastly more efficient creative model.

George and Grant are smart guys. Content is king. I hope they find and/or create some good stuff.

I'd like to see them jump on the Netflix/Amazon/Hulu original programming bandwagon.  Seems like far less compromise with more creative freedom.  Monuments Men could have been a terrific eight- or ten- episode series, with more time to focus on the individual players and delve into each of their stories.  I wonder if George will be as willing to move away from traditional, released-in-theaters films as some of his colleagues, though.
