This merger will close. It’s a done deal. David Ellison will dissolve the WB branding forever. He’ll shut down all home entertainment units, no longer produce physical media, and all we will get is AI crossover slop. WB Animation may shut down and we will only get Nickelodeon.
Sorry. The state...
Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger Set to Clear European Union Regulatory Hurdle (Report)
Great! Now the EU caved to David Ellison. Could this get any worse?
What are the chances of the European Union and UK approving the deal if Ellison wants the deal closed on time? To think it will close in less than a year quicker than the Disney-21st Century Fox acquisition.
What about licensing and all of that? Could he pull all of PSKY and WB’s catalog off of cable TV and free platforms like Tubi and copy Disney+ by putting everything behind the paywall that is Paramount+?
No more WB animation on MeTV if this goes through.
Is there any chance the WB name will dissolve forever and it will be Paramount only? Ellison’s probably going to destroy every single classic / legacy film and TV show in favor of contemporary modern slop. Banning original movies and mandate a franchise only policy while everything gets buffed...
Yeah. Even with the ticking fees and all of that, Ellison wants this deal done quickly as possible so he can influence the midterms and CNN will go the way of CBS News under Bari Weiss.
This will not last. Bari Weiss would be gone for her incompetency. David Ellison’s profits would be in the toilet due to the debt. That ME money is going to delay this merger even further and further.
Paramount May Drop Joint Venture to Secure EU Merger Approval
PSKY might end their joint venture with Universal. But there is still the Middle Eastern money that might flag the merger in the EU.
That is probably more on Iger and his brass. The last minute change culture under Jennifer Lee is still apparent. I hope things are different under Jared Bush and Josh D’Amaro but I feel these tight-lock release are really hampering the creative process. Pixar is already doing something...
Not a done deal yet but the idea about it being the shortest fast tracked merger in corporate history is really surprising. Closing the deal before midterms in order to have major influence when in fact the whole country sees our current leaders unpopular.
This is going to sink both studios.
