Paramount has officially completed its $81 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, closing the deal on Tuesday to form a new Hollywood giant. The merger brings together two of America's oldest moviemaking studios under the new name Skydance.
The newly combined entertainment behemoth will operate under the helm of billionaire David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz. According to reports, Ellison's hostile takeover bid successfully defeated rival acquisition efforts from Netflix.
Industry analysts note that this high-profile consolidation concentrates significant power within a Hollywood landscape already dominated by a small handful of major media players.
