Critics said a Netflix-Warner combo would be bad news for moviegoers and for people who work in theaters. Cinema United - a trade association that represents more than 30,000 movie screens in the U.S. and another 26,000 screens internationally - was quick to oppose the deal, which it said "poses an unprecedented threat to the global exhibition business."
"Netflix's stated business model does not support theatrical exhibition. In fact, it is the opposite," Michael O'Leary, CEO of Cinema United, said Friday. "Theaters will close, communities will suffer, jobs will be lost."
The Writers Guild of America sounded a similar alarm and called for the merger to be blocked
Paramount Skydance (PSKY) announced on Monday a bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) in an all-cash deal worth $30 per share, with a total value of $108.4 billion, as the company moves to top Netflix's (NFLX) deal struck last week to acquire the storied studio
On Friday, Netflix agreed to acquire Warner Bros.' TV, film, studios, and streaming division for $72 billion in equity value — roughly $27.75 per share — in a cash-and-stock deal worth a total $82.7 billion that would see Warner Bros. shareholders receive $23.35 per share, along with $4.50 in Netflix common stock.
@Kraven nobody saying it is a bad game the expectations were so much more is it to much to ask for mid to high 80s for a first party game that took many years to make eurogamer gave it a 60 score and eurogamer to me has always been nintendo friendly in their reviews..
@GetontheStiix we shall see what sales numbers are when the price is lowered their will be a increase..the ps4 dominated japan until the switch came out and still only sold 2 million more consoles then the ps5 in a much longer time period..
@Jeff2sayshi the price drop will certainly increase ps5 sales in japan..ps5 has sold almost 6 million consoles in japan ps4 sold 2 million more over a much longer stretch of time..people do want it but not at was the current price remember switch 2 price is being subsidized in japan selling for $330 us dollars..
@Spider-Kev and many of us grew up with bulky colors tv and wont go back to them ever just because we grew up with slower frame rates does not mean they are acceptable for a fighting game.
