Part 4/12:
Netflix has surprised many by throwing its hat into the ring, focusing solely on Warner’s streaming and studio assets. Without interest in Warner’s traditional television networks or news outlets, Netflix aims to leverage Warner’s massive IP catalog—DC characters, Looney Tunes, and classic movies—for their streaming platform. Significantly, Netflix has announced that if they acquire Warner Brothers, they intend to release its content theatrically, addressing concerns about content exclusivity and subscription models. This approach could give Netflix an edge in reviving Warner’s film library and possibly turning the tide against traditional studio giants.
