Antitrust settlement clears path for Ellison’s Warner Bros. Discovery takeover
TL;DR Summary
California AG Rob Bonta and Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison reached a settlement ending the state’s antitrust case, clearing the way for Paramount’s $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount would incur a penalty if it fails to meet pledges to distribute 30 films annually and invest $1.5 billion in Hollywood production over five years; a federal judge must approve the deal before it closes, which would merge two historic studios and their streaming services under one umbrella.
