Paramount-Warner Bros mega-merger could still face ‘real threats’, antitrust experts say
AI Summary
Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery for $110 billion faces potential antitrust challenges despite the company's confidence in regulatory approval. While CEO David Ellison believes the merger will pass regulatory muster, antitrust experts suggest state attorneys general could sue to block the deal, potentially putting it before a judge. California's Attorney General Rob Bonta indicated an open investigation and communication with other attorneys general, posing a "real threat" to the merger. The deal also requires approval from antitrust officials in the European Commission and the United Kingdom.
