Paramount-Skydance deal to close with 30-film release mandate, Miramax stake at risk

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Paramount and Skydance Media's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery is set to close on October 6th, following a settlement with 12 states. The deal's approval hinges on a commitment to release at least 30 films annually for the first two years, increasing to 32 in subsequent years. Failure to meet this quota will result in a $30 million penalty per film and the potential divestment of the company's stake in Miramax Studios. AI
