With Warner Bros. turning down Paramount’s attempt to buy them, Netflix – which is acquiring both companies – has shared details about how the brands will combine and what the merger will look like. The $72 billion deal is under public scrutiny as it awaits regulatory approval, but Netflix appears optimistic that everything will go through.
Netflix and Warner Bros. are signaling their potential partnership by combining their logos on a dedicated website. The site features images blending iconic characters from both companies – for example, Harry Potter alongside Eleven from Stranger Things – hinting at the exciting possibilities if the deal is finalized.
Netflix sent a letter to Warner Bros. shareholders, responding to their decision to decline Paramount’s offer and explaining why Netflix is a better fit for the company. Netflix highlighted several concerns with Paramount’s bid, including its reliance on funding from foreign government-owned investment funds, which they believe makes it a less attractive option.
According to a recent press release, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos stated that Warner Bros. Discovery’s board confirmed Netflix’s acquisition deal is the best option for shareholders. He described the process as competitive and resulting in a positive outcome for viewers, content creators, investors, and the entertainment industry as a whole. Sarandos emphasized that Netflix and Warner Bros. are a good fit together, particularly highlighting Warner Bros.’ strong film and television production capabilities, including the renowned HBO brand, which will continue to produce high-quality television. Netflix also plans to continue releasing Warner Bros. films in cinemas, maintaining a traditional theatrical release window for audiences to enjoy them on the big screen.
Netflix’s Ted Sarandos has repeatedly emphasized the company’s plan to continue releasing Warner Bros. movies in cinemas, respecting the traditional release window. However, many industry insiders doubt whether Netflix will actually follow through with this commitment. Greg Peters, Netflix’s co-CEO, further explained that acquiring Warner Bros. will give audiences and creators more options and opportunities. He described the deal as beneficial for viewers, innovative for the industry, and supportive of creators and growth. According to Peters, the combined companies will offer a wider range of films and series for both home viewing and theatrical release, ultimately benefiting shareholders and providing entertainment for fans worldwide.
