Paramount is going hostile.

After Warner Bros. Discovery chose to accept Netflix’s acquisition bid last week, David Ellison’s company launched an all-cash tender offer for $30 per share on Monday morning, noting that WBD is now obligated to take this offer — at a steeper price point than Netflix’s $27.75 per share bid — directly to shareholders.
