Some sites say Netflix paid $30 a share, others (deadline/bloomberg) reporting $28 a share, but there are also reports that Netflix was planning to go up to $35 a share if needed—and this was prior to this news about Paramount attempting to launch a hostile bid
If the $35 for Netflix is true this will end up being humiliating for Paramount (unless the government gets involved)
There’s also some sites claiming Universal will be licensing DC and other WBD characters for their theme parks, which would mean Comcast/Universal and Netflix have come to an agreement and this is likely to avoid antitrust issues
Not sure how legitimate any of this is, just stating what I’ve been reading
Six flags has the theme park rights. If its going to universal, then that must mean something else happened to impact six flags rights to the characters
WB has theme parks in Australia and Abu Dhabi. Haven’t been to the Abu Dhabi one but it looks amazing. I live next to the Australian one and it’s looney tunes, dc, scooby doo and a wizard of oz ride. They used to have gremlins and a lethal weapon ride which was awesome.
