The fight over the future of Hollywood just got nastier.
Paramount Skydance Corp. launched a hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. at $30 a share in cash on Monday, just days after the company agreed to a deal with Netflix Inc. The offer values Warner Bros. at $108.4 billion, including debt.
The bid compares with Netflix’s offer of $27.75 in cash and stock, for an enterprise value of about $82.7 billion including debt. Paramount’s offer is for all of Warner Bros., while Netflix is interested only in the Hollywood studios, HBO and the streaming business.
Warner Bros. investors “deserve an opportunity to consider our superior all-cash offer for their shares in the entire company,” Paramount Chief Executive Officer David Ellison said in a statement.
The battle between Netflix and Paramount stands to reshape the entertainment industry regardless of who wins. With Warner Bros. films and TV shows, Netflix would wield tremendous new power over the content offered to online audiences. Paramount aims to marry two legacy Hollywood studios to counter the influence of Netflix, Walt Disney Co. and Amazon.com Inc.
Both bids raise significant antitrust concerns, underscored by multibillion-dollar breakup fees the parties have offered, and both companies have been laying the groundwork to win over the White House.
