Netflix revises its Bid for Warner Bros. Discovery to All Cash

Posted on by
Netflix

Earlier this week, Netflix revised its bid for assets of Warner Bros. Discovery to an all cash offer. Netflix is offering $27.75 per share for “half” of WBD compared to Paramount Skydance‘s offer of $30 per share for all of WBD.

Netflix would purchase WBD’s movie studio and streaming assets while a new entity called Discovery Global would keep the channels.

Netflix had previously offered $23.25 a share in cash plus more in stock for a total of around $27.75 per share.

The next step is for a review by the US Securities and Exchange Commission and then the deal will be put to a vote. Any deal would involve some major hurdles and would need to be approved by the US government, the current administration has close ties to Paramount’s owners and others involved in that bid, as well as European regulators.

Paramount has waged a hostile attempt to take over WBD after their offer was rejected by the board. They have gone to the shareholders to not only reject the Netflix offer but install a board of directors who will accept the Paramount offer.

Paramount’s offer is for $30 a share for all of the company and has stated that the channels have little to no equity value. Warner Bros. Discovery has recently revealed in an SEC Filing that CNN, one of the channels it owns, will collected $1.8 billion in revenue this year and is projected $2.2 billion by 2030. It has said that its overall network business will decline even though CNN will rise. U.S. networks other than CNN will bring in $9.9 billion in revenue in 2026 and projected to bring in $7.7 billion by 2030. “Profit” will fall from $3.8 billion to $1.9 billion from 2026 to 2030.

Paramount’s offer values the channels of WBD at $2.50 a share with 2.48 billion shares coming out to about $6.2 billion, about two to three years of profit based on the recent filing.

Tiny Onion and Lyrical Media team for Exquisite Corpses and Room Service Feature Films

Posted on by
Tiny Onion

James Tynion IV’s Tiny Onion and Lyrical Media have announced the development of two horror films, marking a new phase of their growing partnership. The collaboration will bring to screen Tynion’s new bestselling horror comic book series Exquisite Corpses, and a feature adaptation of his short film and one-shot comic Room Service. Tynion, the five-time Eisner Award-winning writer behind Something is Killing the Children, The Nice House on the Lake,​and The Department of Truth, launched Tiny Onion in 2023 with a seed investment from Lyrical Media. The new films expand that relationship, formalizing Lyrical as a key producing partner across multiple mediums.

Exquisite Corpses is a horror franchise centered on a deadly game played every five years on Halloween, when the wealthiest families in America unleash twelve of the world’s most dangerous killers on an unsuspecting town. The first season of the comic book series, published by Image Comics and co-created by artist Michael Walsh, has already become a breakout hit, selling more than 500,000 copies to date. Exquisite Corpses also became the highest-selling original IP launch of the year in the comic book direct market, marking Tynion’s best debut in over three years. A companion trading card game, Exquisite Corpses: The Game, is in development to be released this summer. Lyrical Media and Tiny Onion envision the property as a franchise starter with expansive potential across live-action film, animation, and video games, and are currently packaging the feature with A-list talent. Tynion will produce the feature film for Tiny Onion, with Michael Walsh joining as executive producer, and Alexander Black and Arlen Konopaki are producing for Lyrical Media with Jon Rosenberg from Lyrical Media as an executive producer.

Room Service is​ a feature adaptation of Tynion’s Kickstarter crowdfunded short film, co-created by artist Elsa Charretier and director PK Colinet, about a sinister hotel service that allows its clients to commit their ideal murder scenarios. In addition to the short film, Tynion and his collaborators released a prequel one-shot comic, published by Image Comics. Tynion will co-write the feature script with filmmaker Colinet. 

Exquisite Corpses and Room Service join an aggressive development slate for both James Tynion IV and Tiny Onion. In October, it was announced that Blumhouse Productions had optioned Tynion’s bestselling comics horror franchise, Something is Killing the Children, to adapt both for film and for an animated television series with Tynion attached to produce alongside the series publisher BOOM! Studios. In December, Tiny Onion announced its expansive development slate in animation, including an adaptation of Tynion’s Image Comics series W0RLDTR33 at Netflix, an adaptation of his BOOM! Studios series The Woods, and an original adult animated comedy series developed with production company Irony Point, Tipsy Dragon.

Paramount’s attempt to speed up its litigation against Warner Bros. Rejected

Posted on by
Warner Bros.

A Delaware Chancery Court judge Morgant T. Zurn has denied Paramount‘s attempt speed up its litigation against Warner Bros. Discovery concerning its attempt to take over the company. The judge said that Paramount failed to identify any “irreparable harm.”

Paramount is suing to expedite some disclosure of information regarding the sale of Warner Bros. Discovery. They are looking for WBD to disclose how it has valued Global Networks.

Paramount and Netflix are currently fighting over WBD. Netflix, which has offered a total of $27.50 a share, would purchase just Warner Bros. Studios, HBO, and HBO Max, with the “broadcast” part of the company would be spun out and shareholders would likely receive shares in that new company. Paramount’s offer is an all-cash offer of $30 per share for all of WBD, it’s studios as well as the various networks it controls.

Paramount keeps emphasizing their $30 all-cash offer is superior to Netflix’s $23.25 cash plus $4.11 in shares (roughly $27.50) offer though consistently fails to mention that Paramount is purchasing the whole company compared to Netflix’s offer for “half.” In theory, current WBD share holders would receive shares for the new network focused company which is believe to be called something like Discovery when the company splits some time this year into two. Are the networks worth $2.50 a share more which with 2.48 billion share which “values” that part at about $6.2 billion? Before its merger with Warner Bros., Discovery Inc. in 2022 reported $10.67 billion in revenue and $34 billion in assets. Add in that the Warner Bros. also has TBS, TNT, truTV, CNN, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and TCM on top of Discovery’s channels that aren’t factored into that value, you can see how Paramount’s offer is likely far inferior.

In early December, Netflix won a bidding war that included Paramount Skydance and Comcast for Warner Bros. Discovery.

Paramount Goes Hostile Against Warner Bros. Looking to Elect its Own Board of Directors and Filing a Lawsuit

Posted on by
Warner Bros.

Paramount Skydance through its website “Stronger Hollywood” is going all in with its hostile takeover for Warner Bros. Discovery. In early December, Netflix won a bidding war that included Paramount Skydance and Comcast for Warner Bros. Discovery.

In its latest press release, Paramount Skydance has said they have sent a letter to shareholders of Warner Bros. Discovery calling their offer “superior, fully financed, all-cash.”

In the letter, Paramount says this process began “about four months ago” when they offered in private a “significant premium” to Warner Bros’ $12.54 a share price. They have now offered $30 all-cash offer for all of Warner Bros. Discovery while Netflix has offered $27.50, a mix of cash and stock.

Paramount is “committed to seeing (its) tender offer through” stating the deal will likely come down to a vote at the shareholder meeting.

Paramount has stated that it is nominating a slate of directors whose entire role will be to enter into a “transaction with Paramount,” stating its their “fiduciary duty.”

It also stated it is proposing an amendment to the bylaws to require shareholder approval for “any separation of Global Networks.” It was a plan of Warner Bros. Discovery to again split into two companies with one focused on its networks and the other studios and HBO. Netflix’s offer would purchase just the studios and HBO while Paramount is attempting to purchase the entire company. The split was to begin to take place in 2026.

Paramount keeps emphasizing their $30 all-cash offer is superior to Netflix’s $23.25 cash plus $4.11 in shares (roughly $27.50) offer though consistently fails that Paramount is purchasing the whole company compared to Netflix’s offer for “half.” In theory, current WBD share holders would receive shares for the new network focused company which is believe to be called something like Discovery. So, are the networks worth $2.50 a share more which with 2.48 billion share which “values” that part at about $6.2 billion? Before its merfer with Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. in 2022 reported $10.67 billion in revenue and $34 billion in assets. Add in that the Warner Bros. also has TBS, TNT, truTV, CNN, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and TCM on top of Discovery’s channels that aren’t factored into that value, you can see how Paramount’s offer is far inferior.

In their latest release, Paramount is also pushing that WBD hasn’t included disclosures as to how it valued Global Networks. They have therefore filed a lawsuit to get WBD to provide the information.

They’re urging WBD shareholders to “register their preference” for Paramount’s offer.
