Comcast has triggered a provision forcing Disney to buy out its 33 percent stake in Hulu for a minimum of $8.6 billion, initiating a deal that will give Disney full ownership of the streamer, and freedom to merge it with Disney+.Disney announced the move on Wednesday, and will be required to close the deal before the end of the month. The sale price could rise if an independent valuation finds Hulu is worth more. The Burbank, California-based entertainment giant gained a controlling interest in Hulu as part of its $71 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox's film and television assets.
