Things We Saw Today: Now Paramount and Warner Bros. are making headlines
There is a lot going on in the news today. And just when you thought “hey, maybe it is slowing down,” news broke that Paramount, which recently merged with Skydance, is playing with the idea of merging with another company: Warner Bros. Discovery. You know, another merged entertainment entity.
Right now, it is just simply an idea in the mind of David Ellison, who was formerly the CEO of Skydance Media before it became officially part of Paramount. Now, Ellison is the CEO of Paramount and his family is one of the richest families in the world. So if he is really trying to merge the companies, it could be a possibility.
According to Deadline, this isn’t just an out of the blue thought. “Ellison has been looking at Warner Bros for a while,” Deadline says an individual close to Paramount told the publication. “Nothing new there, he’s just taking a closer look, assessing the pros and cons.”
Now here is the thing, as John Mulaney once said “Now we don’t have time to unpack all of that.” While this is currently a big MAYBE for the companies, it probably isn’t a great idea to have one mega studio but also what do I know? I’m not a studio head. Maybe the meeting of the minds will prove me wrong and decide that it is, in fact, good.
But given the rest of the current state of the world, I’m going to go out on a limb say that this one is one we can all just address at a later date.
Here are some other things we saw on the internet today:
