Paramount Skydance chief David Ellison is reportedly pursuing a bold strategy to outmaneuver rival bidders for WB — launching a potential $60 to $70 billion bid to buy all of Warner Bros. Discovery rather than waiting for the company’s planned split.
Netflix is pumping the brakes on speculation that it’s planning to buy Warner Bros. Discovery. At Bloomberg’s Screentime conference in Los Angeles, Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters was asked directly whether there was any truth to the rumors that the streaming giant might make a play for WB.
Leonardo DiCaprio is used to being called a box office sure thing.

The DCU’s long-gestating Batman: The Brave and The Bold project is once again mired in uncertainty.

Warner Bros. has just etched its name into the record books in a way Disney never has. Over the weekend, The Conjuring: Last Rites stormed into theaters with an $83 million domestic debut, the third-largest opening ever for a horror film.
