Why would Warner Brothers endorse Netflix over Paramount? The answer lies in the miscalculations made by Warner's leadership, notably David Zaslav.

However, the current landscape indicates that Paramount has seemingly stepped back, unwilling to increase their offer further. This, combined with Warner's own internal missteps, could jeopardize Zaslav’s aggressive positioning.
