So if bidding is 6 months, that brings us to May. If regulatory is going to be 12-18 mos after the final bid, this might not close til the end of 2027

I never noticed before

It would be real funny if Warner Bros. Discovery is still able to split up like planned in April.

Big if true

There's really no route in which Zaslav loses here. People would laugh at the suggestion WB could be sold for this a few years ago. This could prob drag for a while too

Yeah...what about this?

Could they be forced to pause even if the board is leaning to continuing with Netflix? The split was a company plan anyways that could have only been paused by Paramount buying NOW

He’s really one of the smartest businessmen of all time. He was the CEO of a successful cable networks company but recognized that it was a dying industry so he uses Warner Bros as a life raft to get off that sinking ship, which they can only afford because WB has tens of billions in debt. Then after a couple years he splits the companies back up, putting all of WB’s debt onto the cable networks business that’s on its way down anyway, allowing him to flip WB for an insane profit. Idk how any of that of legal but he finessed it.

and lets be real we all gonna forget about it by then.

they really running an anti netflix propaganda to let saudi own half of the us entertainement industry

oh so he's just going to want control of CNN via some form, he dgaf about the streaming and studios

Doesn’t one of his buddies already own cnn

They’re so desperate to prevent this split lol

It seems like everyone involved is not interested in Discovery as a split company.
Cus why not just wait till the split and lobby Paramount or others to purchase it?

Cinema is saved!

It’s insane that no matter what way this goes we’re f***ed

dont see how he could enforce this but it’s hilarious nonetheless

Buy your movies on physical media before all your favorite movies are AI’d with Trump propaganda

Both options are absolutely terrible I don’t think anyone should be faulted for choosing either side if these are the only two avenues we have moving forward

Either the film industry is monopolized and theaters or killed OR the government is in bed with a major studio that’s funded by blood money

Both ways we lost unfortunately

Hard

I want to watch the sopranos on Netflix already
