Warner Bros says Paramount bid superior to Netflix

https://x.com/Variety/status/2027133419113562493
>>
>>218232337
its going to be funny when netflix pulls out after pumping the price up high enough to bankrupt paramount so they can come back in 2 years and buy them both for half price.
>>
>>218232716
Paramount has that Oracle money
>>
>>218232716
The federal government would never allow this to happen.
>>
>>218232716
Shrewd.

hopefully netflix walks and the nightmare scenario is avoided
>>
netflix will just match or best it imo
this is just zaslav wanting more money, can't blame him either
>>
>>218232726
>oracle
>money
ellison has that saudi PIF money
>>
>>218232840
Paramount winning is the nightmare scenario
>>
>>218232337
Which one of those two mega pozzed corporation buying WB would lead to the most layoffs, less movies being produced and generate more debt for the parent company?
I'm rooting for them.
>>
>>218233046
most likely Paramount by your parameters
>>
Isn't Paramount in debt and losing money every quarter? How the fuck can they afford this?

...meanwhile ellison owning all this +tiktok is totally ok so long as you kiss daddies ring
>>
>>218233106
this is basically the maximum they can possibly do and there's a nonzero chance it causes them to nosedive right into WBD's current state within a decade. I can't see Larry Ellison bailing them out forever
but David Ellison is treating the whole thing as a little fun personal project funded by his dad and is seething zaslav cucked him initially so will do whatever it takes to win.

Honestly smart on netflix to not go further as paramount buries itself in debt to make this happen.
>>
>>218234585
yep, netflix got a free 3 billion, got positive press from the fuck drumpf crowd because of all the politics around this shit, and forced paramount to offer the maximum possible on a deal that is a massive gamble.
paramount will either be as big as netflix or bankrupt within a decade. netflix clearly bets the latter though I personally will hedge my bets. although the current track record at paramount with ips like star trek isn't exactly promising

A downside to this, iirc paramount actually has two tiers for their subscription.

Its not just ad free, to watch certain shows they want you to pay extra.

So im guessing some hbo shows will be locked behind a second pay wall, same with discovery. Also interested to see if this affects Disney's deal with HBO

Harry Potter could be really improved though a LOT. Not sure how malleable the show is at this point. Also Last of Us Season 3 could be SICK with a full recasting and some more country music cameos.

When I said a few more years, I meant more like tens of years. But the future is still firmly ahead of us, rather than behind us. How long did it take to get to this stage, when major studios are imploding and the only way they can survive is by combining like asexually reproducing amoebas? It took decades. Again, the arrow of time is singular, and it marches on in only one direction: forward.

Anon. They went that route because Disney started buying EVERYTHING and were going to be a threat to the business. The reason Netflix is so shit now is because Disney encouraged the big studios to pull out. So Netflix had to fill those holes with original content, and the le studios were NOT happy that Netflix could somehow payout Hollywood directors and actors. And they were upset that Netflix could pay BIG while the Hollywood system revolved around jewing the talent.

I remember when this happened. I bought stock in AT&T. I figured they were trying to do what Comcast did. Aka be a company that provides Internet and television service and then buy UniversalNBC to also own the television and Internet content that they provide through the service. I still have not made any profit from AT&T. And I was more surprised that they sold WB and Discovery bought them within a year, which made me realize they were just pumping and dumping.
>>
>>218233027
>Paramount winning is the nightmare scenario
Not really. Paramount winning means business as usual because Paramount more or less operates the same kinds of businesses. People who work at WB Hollywood in general are breathing a sigh of relief right now, because a netflix acquisition would have led to mass ffirings and fewer theatrical releases for movies each year. If Netflix bought WB, they would have undoubtedly sold the TV networks and shut down the themeparks, because that's not their biz.
>>
>>218237329
The "separate entity" was just a jewish tactic by Zaslav to unload all the WBD debt into another separate company with the WB, CN, Discovery, etc brands but none of its ips. This shit would probably go bankrupt before 2030
>>
>>218237414
All Hollywood studios went on a spending spree in the late 2000s and 2010s, remember Disney buying Marvel Star Wars and Fox in 10 years? They thought the party wouldn't stop but it did in the 2020s and now they're bleeding hard and need a megacorp with Saudi bucks to bail them out

to be fair you can't blame them for assuming the ellisons weren't crazy enough to actually put an offer forward like the one they did.

No, because you got that off some AI aggregator. AT&T does not own "Warner Bros Discovery", that's an entirely separate company. They owned "Warner Media" which was "bought" by Discovery. AT&T "sold" Warner through a Merger so nobody has to pay any taxes.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/17/att-to-combine-warnermedia-and-discovery-assets-to-create-a-new-standalone-company.html

>AT&T said it would receive an aggregate amount of $43 billion in a combination of cash, debt and WarnerMedia’s retention of certain debt. AT&T shareholders would receive stock representing 71% of the new company, while Discovery shareholders would own 29%, it added.

>AT&T said Discovery President and CEO David Zaslav will lead the new company, which will have a new name announced in coming days. The board would consist of 13 members, seven initially appointed by AT&T including the chair, and Discovery would appoint six members, including Zaslav.

Nta but they didn't care because they didnt have any power in it. They didn't have the people or infrastructure for it. Warner does, and it makes a ton of money, especially DVD sales and rentals.

Because Warner has no reliable source of income other than cable ad revenue for a few years. Movies really just break even (especially since DVD sales died off), linear TV revenue is declining, their last few videogames bombed, streaming is a money pit, etc.

Disney or Universal at least have parks and cruises. Warner just has suckers who get drawn in due to all the IPs and film catalog they own only to quickly discover it's not a profitable business.

Only 12 netflix original series ever made it to 5 seasons. Out of literal thousands of original series only a dozen made it to 5.

People subscribe thinking they can watch the next season of the show they feel in love with only to realize it was canceled to make way for the crop of subscriber bait. I hate Netflix with a passion because of the sole fact that it doesn't even try to hide that it is a purely greed driven company.

just because a show is canceled doesnt mean it was bad. a good story has a beginning, a middle and an end rather than some open ended slop that goes on way longer than it should have. also sometimes shows are cheap to produce so they have longevity. cbs has been showing big brother and survivor for 25 years.

Streaming, as a model, has definitely plateaued, and arguably is now failing. Streaming now costs more than cable and all streaming services are bleeding subscribers.
