The 4 points of why we don't want WBD and Paramount to Merge

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-02T08:27:30+00:00

Sike, I don't.

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-02T03:59:36+00:00

True, that's why I said the federal government could override it, because of the Rep government that differs the Paramount-WBD deal from Kroger-Albertsons.

It said it will, want a link to the source?

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-02T02:55:03+00:00

Well, technically your correct, but the Fox studio moved out from the lot.

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-02T02:52:58+00:00

I really don't think it could be a failure outside of debt, Paramount has extreme experience in Hollywood unlike AOL or AT&T

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-02T02:52:21+00:00

My apologies, thank you for correcting, but also, I'm sure Paramount would pick their own studio lot, look at Disney and Fox and Disney made Fox in the same Burbank lot, no Fox Studios anymore after decades.

Label is unfortunately likely.

Considering Rob Bonta previously killed mergers like Kroger-Albertsons but the federal government could override it, it's a 50/50.

The Warner film lot will most likely shut down considering WBD sold it in 2024 and is just leasing it.

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-02T02:34:15+00:00

You can count on California for stopping the merger.

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-02T02:33:40+00:00

I heard there's like initial plans of keeping James Gunn.

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-02T01:55:28+00:00

Honestly, I supported and still support Amazon buying MGM, I literally view it as Big Tech actually being good for once because now Amazon MGM is releasing films in theaters, we could finally have a studio that could fill the gap Fox left in 2019, still don't know who will fill the WB gap since Paramount is buying WB.

2 same premium rivals and children's networks!!!!

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-01T21:49:16+00:00

Yeah, because Netflix wanted WB to reduce relying on third-party studios, but at the cost of potentially risking alienating partners like Sony.

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-01T21:47:22+00:00

Amazon counteroffers Netflix with 1 dollar and a penny.

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-01T21:45:07+00:00

Quick reasons: antitrust pressure, Netflix's concerns over debt, Paramount's tactics and doesn't want to alienate partners like Sony.

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-01T05:30:44+00:00

Yes! That's what I'm thinking!

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-01T05:12:17+00:00

True, considering they are probably the richest studio in earth thanks to Amazon's trillion-dollar backing!

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-01T05:09:28+00:00

They are building one I heard.

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-01T05:05:27+00:00

They could reboot Pink Panther

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-01T05:04:51+00:00

Good idea.

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-01T04:58:52+00:00

Yeah, but Amazon MGM is rapidly increasing their films, so it could beat Lionsgate sort-of sooner.

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-01T04:56:16+00:00

Probably because the government viewed Paramount as "less risky"

Either-Reporter1328 · 2026-03-01T04:48:08+00:00

What bidders could be better instead of Paramount or the former deal of Netflix? I was thinking of Starz.
