Judge Pauses $110 Billion Paramount-Warner Bros Discovery Merger
A U.S. district judge temporarily paused the $110 billion merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros Discovery in response to a lawsuit from 12 state attorneys general, who claim it would reduce competition across theatrical film distribution and basic cable licensing. The pause lasts for two weeks, with potential extensions if states seek further delays.
