Paramount CEO: Hollywood needs audiences to make Warner Bros deal a success
World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported55m ago
David Ellison, CEO of Paramount Skydance, has defended the company's proposed multibillion-dollar merger with Warner Bros. Discovery in an opinion piece published in The New York Times. Asserting that the legal challenges facing the takeover are driven by politics rather than valid antitrust concerns about market share, Ellison maintained that the core of the issue centers on trust.
In his remarks, Ellison argued that the success of the Hollywood industry depends ultimately on audiences and a vision for industry rejuvenation. A federal judge has set a March date as the legal battle over the consolidation moves forward.
