Netflix has dropped out of the Warner Brothers Discovery bidding war.
That clears the path for Paramount to make the acquisition just days after submitting a revised $111 billion offer.
Warner Brothers gave Netflix four days to counter, but the company declined, saying the deal was, quote, "'no longer financially attractive.'"
