The increasingly acrimonious contest to win Warner Bros.' hand has entered the next phase.

The drama over who will acquire parts of or the entire Warner Bros. company ramped up, with Paramount Skydance increasing its offer.

Warner Bros. said that its board has not determined as to whether the revised PSKY proposal is superior to the merger with Netflix.

WBD also noted that the merger agreement with Netflix remains in effect, adding that the WBD board continues to recommend it over the Paramount offer.
