Netflix Says James Cameron Has It Wrong on Warner Movie Plans

Netflix Inc. co-Chief Executive Officer Ted Sarandos is defending his company’s plans for movies if its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. goes through, responding to legendary director James Cameron and many in Hollywood who are concerned about the deal’s impact on theaters.
