CinemaCon Spotlight: Bruckheimer & Thomas Deflect Merger Letter Questions
At CinemaCon, producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Emma Thomas explained they haven’t signed the open letter opposing Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery’s merger, saying they weren’t asked and that the deal is already moving forward; Bruckheimer argued the merger could still spur movie production, while Thomas cautioned against disruption and questioned consolidation’s logic as the letter gains thousands of signatures; the $110 billion deal awaits regulatory review and a late-2026 close, with California officials scrutinizing actions.
