The company that helped teach America to watch television now has to make broadcast, streaming, cinema and theme parks behave like one business. Its advantage is not a single screen - it is the loop between them.
The company once called SeaWorld Entertainment quietly renamed itself United Parks & Resorts - and in doing so admitted that a killer whale was no longer the whole story.
