Warner Bros. Discovery said Tuesday it's expanding its strategic review of the business and is open to a sale, sending shares of the company 8% higher in premarket trading.

Earlier this year, WBD announced plans to split into two separate entities, a streaming and studios business and a global networks business. It's also been fielding takeout interest from the newly merged Paramount Skydance.

Oh goodie, can't wait to see how this goes.

I think their management has been really terrible at monetizing IPs that I think have a lot of value so really not surprised. Fearful for the result depending on who buys them but bad decisions lead to this

I can offer them.....6.71 for it.

No you cant

No you cant

I can.

They won't accept it, but I can offer it.

There's a few people I would hate to buy WBD but there's one in particular.

As long as AEW keeps a TV deal

Welp, Netflix and/or Paramount are currently front-runners to potentially purchase WBD.

What does it seem like nobody ever wants to keep this thing? It’s one of the biggest conglomerations in history.

I honestly blame the mergers. This company has gone through way too many.

I wouldn’t necessarily hate Netflix buying it if it meant, they were gonna keep it open and expand their business into the actual television and theatrical market. Paramount buying it would be the worst of all time and I’m not saying that because I dislike Paramount, but we don’t need another major merger of two Studios.

 

[Barry Poppins]

At this point the government should absolutely step in and incorporate a de-merger between Discovery and the Warner Bros. Entity, with financial reparations for the cost.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Or better, enact a law that would ban a merger for companies over a certain level of profit.

 

[Tremendez]

Although I will say maybe if Paramount and Warner Brothers merge that will finally end the debate of who owns the theatrical rights to Friday the 13th since those two studios are always fighting over it.

If you’re gonna set some kind of metric I would say market share because on the television side Paramount and WB coming together would dominate the market share.
