Paramount-Warner Merger Remains Blocked for Two More Weeks Ahead of Injunction Hearing
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge extended the 14-day restraining order blocking the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger, delaying any close to at least Aug. 18. A preliminary injunction hearing is set for Aug. 3, with Paramount seeking more time to present its case. The WGA and a coalition of state attorneys general have challenged the deal on antitrust and content concerns, and the judge signaled the injunction schedule could determine whether the deal proceeds, potentially requiring a longer evidentiary process in late August.
