Netflix to acquire Warner Bros. studio and streaming business for $72 billion
ABC7 ChicagoDEC 5
Netflix's acquisition of Warner Bros. represents a devastating blow to theatrical cinema and creative freedom. The deal consolidates dangerous monopolistic power, threatening higher prices and fewer choices for consumers while creating a cesspool of political favoritism under corrupt antitrust review. This anti-monopoly nightmare puts American workers at risk and could mark the death of Hollywood as independent filmmakers flee and theatrical windows shrink.
This acquisition combines two pioneering entertainment companies to deliver unprecedented value and choice for global audiences. By uniting Warner Bros.' century-long legacy with Netflix's innovation, the deal strengthens the entertainment industry through expanded production capacity, job creation and enhanced opportunities for talent. The merger positions the combined entity to dominate the AI-driven future of entertainment while maintaining theatrical operations.
