🚨 Billionaire power move just dropped. Paramount’s hostile WBD bid got supercharged with a $40.4B “irrevocable” Larry Ellison guarantee (deadline now Jan 21, 2026).
🚨 Weekend Box Office (Dec 18–21, 2025) 🚨 Avatar 3 basically Bigfooted the holiday corridor… and the fight for #2 was way more interesting than I expected.
WBD SALE UPDATE: Shareholders just cracked the door open for Paramount… while WBD’s board calls their bid “illusory”… and Netflix says they need Warner to compete with YouTube.
🚨 WBD SALE UPDATE (THIS MORNING): The WBD board just urged shareholders to REJECT Paramount’s hostile $30/share offer and stick with Netflix. Reuters
Paramount just went FULL NUCLEAR on the Netflix–Warner Bros deal. 💣
Netflix thought it had WB, HBO/Max, DC & TNT Sports locked up. Then Paramount Skydance dropped a $108 BILLION, $30-per-share ALL-CASH HOSTILE TAKEOVER backed by Larry Ellison, Middle Eastern sovereign funds, and Jared Kushner.
A new SEC filing suggests WBD’s board may have ignored that higher all-cash offer before signing with Netflix.
So… did Zaslav betray Warner Bros shareholders?

Netflix just bought Warner Bros + HBO for $72B and basically turned itself into the Capitol. Disney, Universal/Peacock, Paramount Skydance, Amazon, Apple… they’re all stuck in the arena now.
