Hollywood Giants Launch Marathon Negotiations: Who Will Buy Whom First?
Warner Bros and Paramount continue their mutual buying dance, while Netflix sits on the sidelines counting money.
Hollywood's business world has once again turned into a real theater, where Warner Bros Discovery and Paramount are playing a mutual "who buys what" game. The negotiations, which must conclude by February 23rd, remind us of our Liepāja market situation - everyone wants the best price, but nobody really knows what they're selling.
"It's like in our old Karosta - everyone's throwing around offers, but in the end they'll still choose whoever offers more," comments local cinema enthusiast Jānis from Ezerkrasts. "Only here we're not talking about apartments, but about CNN and other channels."
Particularly interesting is that Paramount's offer also includes acquiring CNN - it's like buying a fish shop together with a restaurant. Warner Bros says Netflix's offer is better, but isn't that just because they don't know what to do with CNN? In Riga, of course, for such sums you could buy half the city, but in Hollywood it's just an ordinary work day.
In the end, this whole business opera will conclude in March, when shareholders vote on Netflix's offer. Meanwhile, we in Liepāja can peacefully watch this theater from the sidelines and be happy that our biggest problem is choosing which café to go to for coffee.
