"Landman" claims the top spot on this week's streaming Top 10, launching past "Stranger Things" and Netflix's new Diddy doc

Paramount is taking its case to Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders after launching a hostile takeover offer to pry the company away from Netflix.

The hostile offer may outmuscle Netflix on price, but WBD’s decision hinges on competing futures: a clean reset under Paramount or a deeper strategic alignment with the world’s dominant streamer.

After winning the award for best game adaptation for HBO series The Last of Us, Druckmann took to the stage to make his speech. In the clip, now posted on Twitter, the Naughty Dog Studio Head thanked the relevant studios before adding, "Do we need to thank Netflix or Paramount, or whoever our streaming overlord is now?"

A core argument of Paramount Skydance’s hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery is this: WBD’s cable networks like CNN and TBS are not worth as much as the David Zaslav-led company’s deal with Netflix implies,

Netflix’s proposed $82-billion purchase of Warner Bros. is triggering warnings from unions and theater groups, who fear the deal could accelerate consolidation, reduce jobs, and sharply impact the theatrical box office.

Netflix promotes itself as an innovator, but its skyhigh bid for Warner Brothers suggests that its trendsetter days have peaked.
