Discovery merger — but with a major condition: it must ditch its joint venture with Universal Pictures in Europe within a year. Regulators fear the combined giant would dominate movie distribution there, so they’re forcing Paramount to stay away from Universal’s European theaters for a decade. Meanwhile, in the U.S., a federal judge has paused the deal after 12 states, led by California, sued over antitrust concerns. A hearing is set for August 3rd, and the Writers Guild has also filed a complaint, warning of job losses and lower pay. While approvals have come from Australia, Brazil, and Canada, the U.S. legal fight remains the biggest hurdle — and Paramount’s hoping to wrap it up by September to avoid extra costs.
