One prediction market prices this story:

  • None before July 2027 — resolved “No” on 6 Oct 2026. The market resolves to "Yes" if a public announcement confirms that None successfully takes over Warner Bros before July 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to "No." Readers often mistake the release date of Gremlins 3 for the deadline, but only the takeover announcement matters.
