Hollywood in trouble – level 1
22-12-2025 07:00
Hollywood sees big changes. People watch movies in new ways. TVs, phones, and computers take people’s time. People do not go to theaters as much. Movies need big stories to make people go to theaters.
Warner Bros. is a big studio. Netflix and Paramount want to buy Warner Bros. Netflix wants the studio, movies, and streaming. Paramount wants the full company with TV channels. Officials must check the rules. One company must not get too strong.
People like stories. Big movies are fun with friends at the theaters. Small movies stay at home. Hollywood needs stories, money, and people to watch to stay strong.
Difficult words: change (when something becomes different), studio (a place for making movies), streaming (watching videos, music, or shows on the internet).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
How do Netflix’s and Paramount’s acquisition goals for Warner Bros. differ?
