Just a couple of days ago, it was officially announced that Netflix would be acquiring global Hollywood production house Warner Bros. Just when everyone thought this mega deal would come to close very soon, something interesting is happening now.

The latest developments are suggesting that this deal between Netflix and Warner Bros could not be a straightforward one as there is an unexpected twist in the town.

According to the latest reports, Paramount pictures, which is another leading production house in Hollywood is reportedly preparing a hostile bid to takeover Warner Bros.

Paramount has launched a hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery valued at around $108 BILLION. This follows the recent announcement of Netflix’s takeover deal for the company, valued at $72 BILLION.

Paramount promises to release more than 30 films in movie theaters as the company launches its hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery. In a call with press and investors on Monday, the company said it will also honor “healthy traditional windows.”

Reportedly, Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, is helping finance Paramount’s $108B hostile bid for Warner Bros – just as Trump warned yesterday that Netflix’s approved Warner Bros deal “could be a problem”

Paramount is controlled by the Ellison family, whose patriarch Larry Ellison is a major Trump ally. Paramount is pitching its offer as far more likely to clear antitrust regulators than Netflix’s - a message that now lands differently given the deepening ties between Paramount and Trump’s inner circle.
