Paramount In Talks to Settle Multistate Lawsuit for Warner Deal
Paramount has cleared the final legal obstacle to its $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery after a federal judge dissolved the court order blocking the deal and settled antitrust lawsuits with 12 state attorneys general. The settlement mandates an additional $300 million annual investment in U.S. film production over five years, maintaining California operations, and releasing at least 30 films annually in theaters for the first two years (32 for the following three), with a 45-day theatrical window and 90-day holdback from streaming. An all-journalist News Editorial Independence Board will oversee CNN and CBS News, with penalties including asset divestiture. The Writers Guild will drop its lawsuit after a $17.5 million health fund payment. The deal, approved by the DOJ and EU, is expected to close within days, avoiding a $7 million daily ticking fee after October 1.
