Paramount Skydance have launched a hostile bid for Warner Bros. and are taking it straight to shareholders in an attempt to derail the announced takeover by Netflix. This is following the announcement last week by the Movie and TV giant saying that they had won the auction over both Sky and Paramount and were taking over Warner Bros. in its entirety including all of their game studios as well as HBO, HBO Max and ownership of franchises such as Batman and Harry Potter.
