    Netflix grants Warner Bros. Discovery 7-day waiver to reopen deal talks with Paramount Skydance


    A confident fiancé doesn’t give his bride a 7-day trial date with another guy. That’s what someone does when they’ve already changed their mind about the wedding and want her to be the one who walks away.

      They can take a 100 years, still won’t come back with a real competing offer to Netflix. At this point, I wonder if Skydance can leverage their relations with board to solicite an offer for SkyDance assets. Netflix can do it.

      They win either way, at this point that company is in a tail spin and now a competitor is paying well over fair value. If anything – they can potentially wait and see if a new admin comes in and post humorously cancels this deal for corruption and anti trust concerns given the extra focus and involvement of POTUS presently

      I own some wbd, not much. I’ve switched to being for Netflix to now being for paramount. The paramount deal is just cleaner to me. It is rumored that the paramount deal will move to $31/share so it’s more.

      Actually, Netflix is calling Paramount’s bluff. They are saying: “Go ahead, show us your ‘best and final’ offer.” It’s a “Put Up or Shut The F**k Up” window. In business terms, this is absolutely a Big Dick Energy (BDE) move.

      Netflix wants out.

      It’s too much to put up with, and after a while, it get’s old.

      They made their offer. WBD made it difficult, and now they are done.

      Move on, and put the money into your own. content.

      Fuck em.

      They know Trump will block the merger anyways after Larry and his son give him the double gluck and send over some of that Israeli money.

      Better to just let Paramount and Oracle collapse then buy both WB and Paramount up for pennies on the dollar since this clown is offering to put up money he doesn’t have for the 1000th time this year.

      Paramount/WBs have over played their hands.

      Paramount driving up the price and WBs getting greedy.

      Netflix happy to walk away with the $2B breakup fee
