Discovery<\/a>, which is run by David Zaslav, has put itself up for sale. So far, interested parties appear to be Paramount Skydance Corp., Netflix, and Comcast Corp. Having said that, any potential deal is far from being complete, as these matters typically take much time and many factors have to be considered.<\/p>\n<p>What does Netflix\u2019s theatrical plan look like regarding the company\u2019s WB bid?<\/p>\n<p>According to a recent report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-11-20\/netflix-has-told-warner-bros-it-would-release-films-in-theaters?embedded-checkout=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a>, Netflix has told Warner Bros. Discovery that the company \u201cwill keep releasing the studio\u2019s films in theaters if it\u2019s successful in buying the company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWarner Bros. has contractual agreements to release movies in theaters, which Netflix would honor, according to the people, who asked not to be identified revealing details of talks between the companies,\u201d the article continues. \u201cUp to now, Netflix has resisted distributing its movies in theaters, and has grown to rival Hollywood\u2019s largest studios without doing so. The possibility of owning Warner Bros.\u2019 deep film library, along with the contractual obligations, has softened that opposition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Given that Warner Bros. Discovery owns <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superherohype.com\/tag\/dc-studios\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DC Studios<\/a>, this means that, if Netflix were to buy the company, DC fans would still get to see their favorite superheroes on the big screen. What the future of DC Studios\u2019 film slate should the company be sold to the streaming service, however, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg reports that bids for Warner Bros. Discovery are due on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA deal with Netflix would be the largest ever for the streaming service. Executives made a presentation to Warner Bros. management,\u201d the article states. \u201cThe movie industry worries that a Warner-Netflix deal would eliminate another studio and major source of theatrical films. Netflix has given some films limited runs in theaters to qualify for awards and placate talent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If Warner Bros.
