AMC CEO Bets on Paramount-Warner Merger to Power Theaters' Comeback
TL;DR Summary
AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron argues in a Variety op-ed that a Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger would strengthen theaters by delivering more films and longer exclusive windows, including a plan to release at least 30 films a year with 45-day premium VOD and 90-day exclusive SVOD windows. He cites Paramount’s recent uptick in releases, urges regulators to approve the deal to sustain the theatrical comeback, and contends a block would harm the industry’s momentum and exhibitors’ leverage in negotiating terms with studios.
