If #Paramount's hostile bid fails and #Netflix does indeed buy Warner Bros. Discovery, it'll almost certainly accelerate the industry’s move away from residuals, which, historically, have been the lifeblood of many producers, actors and filmmakers.

Behind-the-scenes players unpacked what this means for them and, ultimately, the consumer paying streaming prices in conversations with TheWrap.
