Tech Giants and Piecemeal Asset Sales

Another week, another industry-warping Hollywood shake-up. As Warner Bros. Discovery plants a “For Sale” sign in its yard, a Streaming Wars endgame is being unleashed. Is the billionaire class going to snap its fingers, Thanos-style, and squeeze the number of major studios through another round of M&A? Or is salvation coming instead for a storied studio? Elaine Low, Sean McNulty and Natalie Jarvey break down which suitors make sense, why a Paramount-Warner Bros. mashup would become the rival Netflix has never had, and which assets are most enticing, fantasy-draft style. Plus: Richard Rushfield stops by to weigh in on Zazpocalypse Now.
