Wow, things are really heating up in the entertainment world! Just today, Paramount Skydance made a big move to buy Warner Bros. Discovery, right after Netflix made their offer last week. It’s a full-on battle between these huge companies, but Warner Bros. Discovery is still weighing its options. As a fan, it’s wild to see all this happening!
Warner Bros. Discovery’s board confirmed it will consider Paramount’s offer to buy the company and will announce a decision within 10 business days. Paramount proposed a deal worth $30 per share, valuing the entire company at $108.4 billion.
Last week, Netflix agreed to purchase Warner Bros.’s studio, HBO, and HBO Max for $82.7 billion. However, Paramount has voiced strong objections to the deal, and the Warner Bros. Discovery board responded with a statement following Paramount’s unexpected counteroffer.
The Warner Bros. Discovery board will carefully examine the offer from Paramount Skydance, fulfilling its legal responsibilities and with advice from financial and legal experts. They will follow the terms of their agreement with Netflix while doing so. Within 10 business days, the board will let shareholders know what they recommend regarding the offer.
The Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) board has asked shareholders to hold off on making any decisions regarding the offer from Paramount Skydance. This request comes as Paramount’s bid is significantly higher than Netflix’s, and is supported by funding from three sovereign wealth funds based in Arab nations, as well as from Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners, according to Variety. Counting ten business days from today, December 8th, puts the deadline at December 19th.

CEO David Ellison has been very open about wanting to buy Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), and today he repeated that desire, while also seeming to challenge Netflix’s recent agreement.
Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders deserve the chance to review our offer to buy all of their company’s shares for cash. This offer is the same one we previously presented to the Warner Bros. Discovery Board, and we believe it provides better value and a faster, more certain completion process. We’re concerned the Board is considering a different deal that would give shareholders a combination of cash and stock, expose them to the risks of a fluctuating stock price for their cable networks, and face a difficult approval process. By taking our offer directly to shareholders, we’re giving them the opportunity to decide what’s best for their investment and get the most value for their shares.
We’re confident this deal will strengthen the film industry as a whole. It’s designed to benefit everyone involved – filmmakers, moviegoers, and theaters – by encouraging more competition, increasing investment in content, and bringing more movies to the big screen. We’re eager to finalize this quickly so everyone can start enjoying the advantages of a combined company.
The sale of Warner Bros., a major Hollywood studio, is underway, and it’s unclear who will ultimately control it. This breakup is disappointing for many movie lovers.
