Just like Microsoft kept saying how they won’t raise Xbox prices after buying out Actiblizz.

Alrighty then, Ted. Three films, from [your upcoming lineup](https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/new-movies-on-netflix-2026). Give them to Warner’s theatrical unit, for 45 days of exclusivity, with heavy marketing, in over 3,000 theaters, ***no strings attached.*** Then, we can talk.
Otherwise? All of this is posturing bullshit, designed to be dumped the second regulators finally look away after a “job well done.” And I say this as someone who *wants* Netflix to win, if only so Oracle’s Eldest Boy can fuck off back to his own lair and maybe, *possibly*, turn a hijacked Paramount around before it once again dies in bankruptcy Hell.
Talk is cheap, Netflix. Time to back it up.

I know everyone wants to disbelieve this, but I really do think there’s a hard limit on how much content you can profitably put on Netflix per year. Just merging in the content from HBO Plus is already a big boost to their direct to streaming lineup.
Ultimately, I think they will stay in the theatrical business because they can’t realistically see enough profit from this transaction but just dumping all WB’s content on Netflix.
