Theaters Seek Quick Breakthrough in Paramount-WBD Merger With Cinemark Support

Cinema United urges Paramount's David Ellison and California Attorney General Rob Bonta to meet promptly to resolve California's challenge to Paramount's proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. Cinemark backs the deal, saying it could improve film output if enforceable guardrails are in place, including longer theatrical windows, stable rental terms, safeguards for theatres of all sizes, and continued access to Paramount and WBD catalogs.
