Anonymous A-Listers Lobby Congress Against Netflix-WBD Acquisition: Streamer Would ‘Hold a Noose Around the Theatrical Marketplace’ (EXCLUSIVE)

A group of anonymous filmmakers have sent an open letter to Congress expressing concerns over a potential Netflix acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, warning it could harm the theatrical film marketplace. The letter, sent to both parties, argues that Netflix could reduce the theatrical window for Warner Bros. films, effectively diminishing the theatrical movie footprint and lowering licensing fees. The filmmakers urge Congress to scrutinize the deal and protect jobs and the art form.
