"Lionsgate
More than one expert landed independently on Lionsgate as the most practical near-term target, and the math is hard to argue with, as the studio could conceivably be acquired for roughly what Netflix just pocketed in break-up fees. "John Wick alone might be worth it,” Shapiro said. Lionsgate brings the Hunger Games and Twilight franchises, as well as a clutch of FAST channels. Its streaming service Starz also carries a library of content not dissimilar to that of WBD, including DC Comics properties like Lucifer, which drive an outsized share of viewing, according to Rosen. Indeed, if Netflix loses access to WBD's library following its Paramount acquisition, Lionsgate starts to look less like an opportunistic buy and more like a necessity."
