Paramount won Warner, and it’s going to be OK … Probably
Paramount Skydance just won the bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery in a massive $110–111 billion deal — beating out Netflix and setting up David Ellison to control a Hollywood empire that includes Warner Bros., HBO Max (soon merging with Paramount+), DC, Harry Potter, Star Trek, CNN, CBS, and more.In this video, we break down the final $31/share offer that sealed the deal, why Netflix walked away, the real worries (layoffs, antitrust risks, CNN’s future under Ellison’s leadership), why David Ellison remains the “devil you don’t know” (no grand “based” Hollywood reboot on the horizon), and why this merger might actually give theatrical movies and legacy studios a fighting chance against Netflix and Disney.Is this the end of Hollywood as we know it… or the start of a much-needed comeback? We address the fears head-on and land on: probably going to be OK.
