Technology: Update: Here’s Why Netflix Is Walking Away From the WBD Deal – CNBC

Netflix offered to buy WBD’s streaming and studio, Paramount stepped in and said they would buy the entire entity including the TV networks where Netflix offered $27.75 per share and Paramount offered $31 per share.

○ Moving Ahead – By avoiding overpayment, Netflix shifts the narrative from tech vs Hollywood to hollywood consolidation within Hollywood itself. This announcement has boosted Netflix’s shares by 10% and Paramount’s by 5%.
