It’s been a wild few years at the top of the entertainment industry. First, Disney bought Fox, and Discovery then bought Warner Bros. Also, this year, Skydance completed its purchase of Paramount. Now, it looks like WB is back on the market, with Paramount reportedly offering to purchase the company. The first big offer was seemingly rejected but, now, there may be a new player in the game.
A report from Reuters claims that Comcast, the parent company of Universal Pictures, is beginning to explore the possibility of bidding for WB. Although there are all sorts of very valid reasons why another major merger in the entertainment space is bad news for consumers, there is one particular corner of the industry that could become very interesting if Universal buys Warner Bros. -- theme parks. There's a superhero-related wrinkle to this notion as well.
