""So... the next question to Mr Cameron should be this...'Are you also against the monopolization that a Paramount acquisition would create? Or is it just that of Netflix?'," Ruffalo shared on Threads, alongside a link to an article about Cameron's letter. "I think the answer would be very interesting for the film community to hear and one that should be asked immediately. Is Mike Lee against the Paramount sale as well? Is he as concerned about that as he is the Netflix sale?""
""I respect Mr. Cameron enormously and I love his work. But his letter to you knowingly misrepresents ourposition and commitment to the theatrical release of Warner Bros. films," Sarandos began. He then explains that he met with both Cameron and Lee and reiterated his promise of a 45-day distribution window. He also claimed that if Paramount Skydance bought Warner Bros instead of Netflix, it would cut about $16 billion from the film industry to offset the purchase."
Mark Ruffalo criticized James Cameron's plea to Congress to reconsider Netflix's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros and questioned whether Cameron would oppose a Paramount acquisition equally. Ruffalo urged that Senator Mike Lee be asked whether he is also against a Paramount sale and whether he holds the same concerns about that transaction. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos defended Netflix's commitment to theatrical releases, saying Cameron misrepresented the company's position and noting a promised 45-day theatrical window. Sarandos warned that a Paramount Skydance purchase could cut about $16 billion from the film industry. Paramount remains in a seven-day window to offer a bid and shareholders must vote in March.
