Paramount Warner Deal in Crisis | Los Angeles News

Paramount’s $11 billion merger with Warner Bros. is in deep trouble, facing a legal siege from California and other state attorneys general who argue it threatens competition. With a March trial looming and potential costs ballooning past $2 billion, Paramount’s CEO is now eyeing a radical contingency: relocating the studio’s historic Hollywood operations to Tennessee or Texas as early as fall — even selling off iconic lots to fund the deal. The state’s AG calls this a desperate power play, while Paramount pushes forward with sweetened offers to shareholders and hopes to sidestep regulatory fallout. This high-stakes corporate chess match could reshape Hollywood’s future — or collapse under its own weight. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
