The Battle for Paramount Pictures | Down to the Wire | 4

It’s Christmas 1993. The bidding war for Paramount is underway and QVC is far out in front.

But Blockbuster chairman Wayne Huizenga isn’t about to roll over, and with the deadline for final offers approaching, Redstone’s almost out of time.
