Netflix, Warner, Paramount and antitrust: Entertainment megadeal’s outcome must follow the evidence, not politics or fear of integration
Fortune· 2025-12-12 13:05
Core Viewpoint - Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) plans to sell Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Studios, and HBO Max to Netflix, creating a significant player in the streaming and production industry, which may attract antitrust scrutiny from the Department of Justice (DOJ) [1][4]. Group 1: Potential Benefits of the Merger - The merger could lead to an expanded content library for Netflix subscribers, offering bundled services with HBO Max at lower prices, and is expected to generate annual cost savings of $2-3 billion by the third year [3]. - A stronger competitor against media giants like Amazon and AppleTV could emerge, as recent antitrust rulings highlight the importance of scale for competitiveness in digital markets [4]. - The combination of Netflix's user-targeting algorithms with WBD's intellectual properties may allow for the development of AI tools that can create content without infringing on copyrights [5]. Group 2: Antitrust Concerns - Netflix's history of exclusive content and limited theatrical releases raises concerns that it may restrict content availability for rival streaming services and theaters, potentially leading to higher prices [6]. - The DOJ may find it easier to block the merger if it can demonstrate that Netflix-WBD would control 30% of the market, which would be considered presumptively anticompetitive [7]. - The market for "video-on-demand" subscription streaming services is expected to include major players like Amazon, Hulu, and Disney+, with Netflix and HBO Max estimated to hold a combined market share of 35% based on viewing hours [8]. Group 3: Alternative Perspectives - Netflix and WBD may argue for a broader definition of the entertainment market, which includes ad-supported video and social media, potentially lowering their market share [9]. - Courts may consider the merger's impact on competition, and Netflix-WBD could negotiate with the DOJ by committing to theatrical releases of future WBD content, although such agreements can be complex to enforce [11]. - WBD's shareholders might also consider Paramount's offer, which could present a lower market share of 26% and may face fewer antitrust challenges due to Paramount's support for theatrical releases [12][13]. Group 4: Consumer Impact - The outcome for consumers will depend on whether the merger limits competition and leads to higher prices or reduced quality and innovation, with the government entitled to intervene if evidence supports such claims [14].

The long-running model where broadcasters absorb losses while rights owners and franchises gain “has run its course,” one executive said. The development marks a sharp contrast to the buoyant 2022- 23 cyc ...
