Paramount’s Hostile Bid for Warner Bros. Discovery

He joins Caroline Hyde and Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.” ——– Like this video? Subscribe to Bloomberg Technology on YouTube: Watch the latest…

Not a fan of the Elison family either but I do believe Paramount Skydance takeover would be more beneficial for WB due to their business models are similar which can keep WB the major studios for theatrical experience, versus Netflix only care much about HBO Max, most likely they will keep WB studios the way it is but expect to see WB Discovery the company as a whole to shift its business object away from blockbuster and theater competition and more toward streaming platforms.
The only way I can see the Netflix deal will be safe and sound is they either guarantee a theatrical windows for WB studios IPs to keep the studio a player in the theater competition or they have to do som sort of price lock for when they combine HBO max with Netflix because let’s be honest here, there is a 100% chance they will bundle those 2 platforms

This is how Corp can raise more fees for consumers…
They get rid of any competition.
Biden stopped these Corp mergers but NOT corrupted Trump.
