>>217021159Nobody is gonna work with paramount because they are zionist pigs Netflix supports palestine which is why they're getting warner bros
>>217021303I don't think it has anything to do with that actually.
>>217021303It's not that WB are zionist as well, Paramount wants to pay in stock shares while Netflix is paying in cash.
>>217021159Why does WB insist on being sold to Netflix? Netflix ruins everything it touches. To the point where "I hope Netflix adapts your favorite IP" has become a terrifying threat.
>>217021385Netflix is paying cash
the slopaganda will continue
>>217021159 Fucking trump.>>217021303Paramount is the lesser evilAnd for fuck’s sake, David Ellison donated to Biden and didn’t change Star Trek or SpongeBob. Redditors are acting like Paramount is pumping out MIGA propaganda daily.>>217021385Zazlav is evil.WB had great year, but he wants money
>>217021303Behold, the single issue voter in his natural habitat, making an ass of himself on the internet.
>israeli chud keeps seething in the corner
>>217021365It's actually the reverse, Netflix is offering stocks and cash, and Paramount is offering just cash in a higher amount. Netflix offered $27 per share (partially via stocks) and Paramount is offering $30 per share. The difference is that David Zaslav wants the Netflix deal because he doesn't give a rat's ass about movie theaters (he's a TV guy), and wants to accelerate their death and pivot to cheaper straight-to-streaming content like Netflix makes.
>>217021734Paramount is offering what they don't have
>>217021446i enjoy your schizo...and appreciate it! but Marc Randolph left the company in 2003...four years before the started the 'streaming' service and way before the started making original content. he helped grow the DVD by mail business before cashing out
>>217021734WB is probably losing money on theatrical releases and DVD printing. The people have decided the convenience of streaming is worth inferior picture quality and messing with discs. Only mega spectacles like Dune and Batman will get the theater treatment. Maybe they can screen anniversary editions of classic movies to pad cinemas between blockbusters.
>>217021159>Paramount is paying shills to post on 4chan.Do these retarded Jews think we have any sway in a multi billion dollar deal?
>>217021794Warner Bros.' box office highlights this year:Minecraft: The Movie - $957,949,195Superman - $615,984,465The Conjuring: Last Rites - $482,212,628Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - $452,000,000Sinners - $367,000,000Final Destination: Bloodlines - $315,130,814
>>217021509Recency bias maybe? He did put Bari Weiss in charge of CBS and she built her entire brand around making the American Red Guard but only on topics relating to Israel. Zaslav is a TV guy who doesn't understand movies or branding or really anything. He oversaw the most brain dead era of Discovery and somehow made a bunch of money. >>217021734>>217021768I assume the WB board assumes the Ellisons are over extended or just don't have the money. Larry Ellison saying he will guarantee the bid with his own money despite Oracle having shaky financials right now.
>>217021780I expect many more interracial relationships, gay relationships, and transgenders from the company you defend.
>>217021159In my opinion...Paramount Skydance dealt dishonestly with Warner Brothers discovery. First they claimed that the old man's money was in (which it wasn't until they made a thing about it and he jumped in); and they also included as a buried provision in their first offer, a clause which allowed them to change the price of the buyout after the deal was signed. The board caught both of these, and called them out on it. Meanwhile, the only way that PSKY can afford the bid at all is by diluting out all of their existing stockholders, while also turning over majority ownership of what would become the US's largest media block, to foreign investors. Dad's company recently had to go to the arabs to get money to keep their head above water; and they once again appear to be trying to play middle man to get rich selling US companies to foreign interests. WBD and Netflix have already signed a deal, so the company is no longer for sale. Even if it were still up for sale, the shareholders would probably refuse to sell it to PSKY anyway, after they got caught trying to shuck the shareholders.
Zazlav is a moron example #235234905328235235
>>217021159fuck off you kike loving faggot.
>>217021159Paramount makes absolute dogshit. I don't even care that Netflix is leftist, Ellison's being zionist Jews are pales in comparison to their absolute shit taste.Look at this slate of movies. They aren't even doing original movies anymore for the most part.
>>217021881>Paramount makes absolute dogshitso does Netflix but it's also shot on digital by xe and xer foreign tranny directors with no theatrical release
>>217021768With both Netflix and Paramount they would be taking on a considerable amount of debt to complete the purchase, partially because Warner Bros. has a lot of debt. Netflix has a higher valuation than Skydance but it's not like they have $75 billion lying around for a rainy day. Skydance doesn't have $100 billion laying around either, but it's a higher offer. Which deal is better in terms of risk is highly subjective and you should not assume any opinion about it from either side is unbiased, especially not from WB's leadership.I am very biased against Netflix but I can only speak from the perspective of a movie fan who likes theaters and physical media. I think Netflix has been a plague on the movie industry. For every good piece of content they've made, they make thousands of hours of algorithm-optimized sludge. They are already planning to start making AI slop movies and shows, and they're planning on making portrait mode movies and shows too because the algorithm determined that people can't be assed to turn their phone sideways. They are, in my opinion, the worst movie studio and they should not be allowed to buy a better movie studio. Let them have a monopoly on the slop audience, I don't want to share the same air as them. Don't let them touch a legacy studio, though.
>>217021734>Netflix offered $27 per share (partially via stocks) and Paramount is offering $30 per share. The difference isThe real difference is that NFLX isn't buying the entire company, only assets. What remains will be the Discovery Global spinoff, which current shareholders of WBD will have a stake in.So the offers are:PSKY> Cash for entire company; end of transactionNetflix:> Cash for portion of company that NFLX buys> Shares of NFLX thrown in> Also have shares in Discovery Global when it is spun off.The PSKY offer is inferior in several ways
>>217021876Not to mention, if Paramount and WB merged, it would be leveraged out of it's tits.Half the reason WBD is splitting the companies is to offload $20b of their debt on to the dying cable spinoff.Paramount wants to buy all of WBD, debt and cable and all. Paramount themselves are over leveraged and they want to take on MORE debt to finance the deal. They'd be staring at bankruptcy immediately.
>>217021881Paramount + makes slightly better content that Netflix.
>>217021924Netflix probably wants all the characters owned by WB so they can plug in "Harry Potter versus Gandalf" into Sora and monetize the result.
>>217021930And Starz wanted to buy the cable stations for $25B. Granted, the deal almost would have included 20% of the Studio and Streaming, but it does shwo that there is some interest in the cable companies from outside partners and it means Paramount's all in deal is actually worthless than Netflix + selling the cable companies.>>217021966Paramount's explicit strategy under Ellison is no more original movies and nothing but IP farming and middle of the road, goycattle feed movies for goycattle masses. Nothing challenging or new or interesting Netflix makes a lot of leftist dogshit, but they occasionally make something good by sheer volume of shit they make or buy the rights to. Plus they said they would let WB operate independent.
>>217022058>Paramount's explicit strategy under Ellison is no more original movies and nothing but IP farmingIt will change as the fatigue sets in.
>>217022040not just the films but the rights to the characters in the films would be worth a fortune. It reminds me of when Ted Turner got his hands on MGM; then turned around a few days(?) later selling everything except the film library, which he kept to himself. Forgetting all of the new stuff they'd own, this would also allow them to retool old classic movies. So if they owned the rights to Casablanca, for example, they'd have the rights to knock out an animated version at pennies on the dollar. The WB library isn't as deep as MGM's were, but it is deep enough to milk for the next 40 years.>>217021951I think PSKY is already in a world of financial trouble. I think their attempt to buy WBD is one of those 'expand or die' situations, where people bail themselves out under the public illusion of an expansion
>>217021159Can't wait for Warner to die a cold death. they earned it.now to Disney to buy them in 3 years. I hate both FYI.
>>217021159Why did they both put their logo on the silo?
>>217022058Both options are bad, heck all three options are bad. Option 1: Netflix buys WB and they reveal that the CEO was poorly lying all the time and they kill all or most theatrical releases.Option 2: Paramount buys WB and we reach new levels of slopOption 3: Nobody buys WB and we are either stuck with Zaslav or the company just dies.
>>217021881And Netflix doesn’t make shit? They are the most woke lefty company that make Disney look like moderates in comparison. Look at Stranger Things and shoehorned tranny and gay shit. Now imagine every WB IP getting that treatment. And Netflix doesn’t give a fuck if chuds hate it
>>217021159>This thread
why do they have to sell? why don't they open a Patreon?
Paramount better act before the 30 day trial period expires.
>>217022553Hogwarts Legacy had trans wizards.
Why should I give a fuck? All 3 companies are nothing but slop factories. None of them are going to make anything worth a shit now or in the foreseeable future. Let them all merge together into one giant pile of garbage for all I care.
>>217021880> fuck off you kike loving faggot.Owner of Netflix is a Jew and related to the pervert Jew Freud
>>217022724
>>217021159We should have a hbo chess tv show now
>>217021159Everything is streaming only = WEF goals of "own nothing + be happy". I saw this coming since 2021 at least, but reddit was happy about streaming company's big checks to "passion project" lel
>>217021303don't you have women to arrest, Iran?
>>217022724most retarded post itt congratulations
>>217022724>le Great Resignation
>>217021303Does Netflix actually boycott all things Israel? Virtue Signaling costs nothing
>>217022724If Netflix buys Warner people will be able to watch Dune III day-1 on streaming. This is the end of the world.
>>217021159Can they though? As i understand it Paramount bypassed the board with it´s latest offer and addressed the shareholders directly. The board may vote against it but at the end of the day shareholders will make the best possible deal for themselves.
>>217021159Netflix will kill Warner bros. and cinemas.
>>217023068Warner barely release good movies.
>NOOOOOOOOOOO JUST GIVE IT TO THE ZIONIST MOSSAD GUY WE NEED MORE KIKERINO PROPAGANDA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOWhy are pajeets like this?
>>217021159Paramount has a bad debt score, that's why WB is rejecting them, they are not stupid
>>217023111Netflix will not make things better, their mission is to kill movie theaters.
>>217021159basedfuck dumpft
>>217022376I know, I wanted Universal to get them
>>217023226Are you fucking retarded? You actually think Netflix isn’t owned by Jews?
I want to go back in time and tell people in the 90s that in the future, TV sucks so bad multibillion dollar companies are fighting over the rights to broadcast 30 year old reruns of Friends.
>>217021159I still don't get how you can reject a hostile takeover.
>>217021303Like half of the board at WB have close ties to Netflix and will make money from both sides of the deal if it gets sold to them. That's all. Paramount's only chance of winning this is either to go directly to the shareholders or to offer so much more money than Netflix that the board gets forced to sell to them out of fear of getting sued.
>>217021930The cable assets are junk and they are approaching end of life, why would the shareholders want to keep them instead of getting the cash right now? It sounds like a better deal for the executives, not the shareholders. That's like "Sell us the middle of the pizza and we'll let you keep the outer crust and find a buyer for it later, once it's nice and stale."
>>217021303Half Netflix movies and shows are Israeli propaganda dumb cunt.
>>217023555checked and they even have the money to buy it?>>217023543
>>217021159Do you want it to be owned by retarded Jews, or retarded Israeli Jews?
>>217026372All of Hollywood is Jews. I just don’t want Netflix because they are worse of them when it comes to unwatchable woke slop
>>217021159Glad I sold my shares. Zaslav is an absolute retard and a goblin
>>217026161No, Comcast is in crazy amounts of debt
Is it too late for AOL to buy / merge with them again?
>>217027793Is it too late to get a refund from your dick surgery, tranny?
