Paramount said Monday that it is going straight to Warner Bros. shareholders with a $US30 ($A45) per share in cash offer for the entirety of Warner Bros. Discovery, including its Global Networks segment, asking them to reject the deal with Netflix.
That is the same bid that Warner Bros. rejected in favour of the offer from Netflix in a merger that would alter the US entertainment landscape.
