\n\tNetflix<\/a> co-CEOs Ted Sarandos<\/a> and Greg Peters projected confidence and asserted that a Netflix takeover of Warner Bros. and HBO Max would \u201ccreate and protect jobs in the entertainment industry.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe pair spoke Monday at the UBS Global Media and Communications conference \u2014 hours after Paramount Skydance initiated a hostile offer presented as a tender offer to WBD shareholders. The pair also asserted that they are committed to Warner Bros. theatrical films in the same way that the studio operates now \u2014 addressing the immediate backlash from the film community out of concern that Netflix will dramatically shrink the theatrical exhibition window at a cornerstone film studio.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cToday\u2019s move was entirely expected,\u201d Sarandos said. \u201cWe have a deal done, and we are incredibly happy with the deal. We think it\u2019s great for our shareholders. It\u2019s great for consumers. We think it\u2019s a great way to create and protect jobs in the entertainment industry. We\u2019re super confident we\u2019re going to get it across the line and finish.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tMore to come<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source variety.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Netflix co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters projected confidence and asserted that a Netflix takeover of Warner Bros. and HBO Max would \u201ccreate and protect jobs in the entertainment industry.\u201d The pair spoke Monday at the UBS Global Media and Communications conference \u2014 hours after Paramount Skydance initiated a hostile offer presented as a tender […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2191440,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25172],"tags":[23191,366914,328922],"class_list":["post-2191439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-netflix","tag-ted-sarandos","tag-warner-bros-discovery"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Netflix-CEOs-Super-Confident-of-Closing-Warner-Bros-Discovery-Deal.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2191439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2191439"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2191439\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2191441,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2191439\/revisions\/2191441"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2191440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2191439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2191439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2191439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
