Well, the colony got a lot bigger early Friday when it was announced that Netflix struck a deal to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery and its studio and streaming service, including HBO Max, for a cool $72 billion.

The letter comes amid reports of a likely hostile takeover of Warner Bros by Paramount Skydance Corp, just days after the company agreed to a deal with Netflix Inc.

For more than a century, the studio has developed era-defining films, supported innovation and created space for artists to explore creativity.
