Summary
The DOJ just greenlit Paramount’s $110 billion buyout of Warner Bros. Discovery, calling it a win for competition and consumers — but Hollywood’s not cheering. Actors, writers, and states like California and New York are preparing lawsuits, fearing fewer jobs and less creative diversity. Despite the approval, hurdles remain: FCC rules on foreign ownership, Gulf fund investments, and Paramount’s CEO insists the merger will level the streaming playing field — while keeping creative control firmly in the Ellison family’s hands.
