At least this keeps a bunch of liberals out of Tennessee

quote:

BREAKING: Paramount has reached a settlement with California and other states that sued to block its $110 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery.

• Paramount will invest $1.5 billion in California production, keeping its studio properties in the state.

• Paramount could face a $30 million penalty for every movie it falls short of the annual target to release 30 movies a year in theaters.

• Independent editorial boards for CBS and CNN.

California caved with 58,000 jobs on the line.

That's $PSKY concessions. No word on what California and the states gave up, other than not pursuing the anti-trust lawsuit.

According to Bloomberg, Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut and Minnesota — had been holdouts on a possible settlement, but ultimately concluded the expense of the legal battle was not justifiable without California.

More to come.

Good they are keeping the liberal losers in CA, but it cant be good for business to stay there.

They really needed to be in a right to work state to stay viable.

He's also filthy, stinking rich yet hes the first one to flame about those evil billionaires. Hes too dumb to know if the left wing scum he loves so much decide to come after the rich his head will be among the first on a pike. Moron.

1) Keeping their HQ in the state is not a big deal. A lot of those types still want the glamour of being in Hollywood 2) The $1.5 billion investment is over the next 5 years. That is one High end budget production per year.

That is ridiculously easy to get around if you just dedicate a few more of your productions to low to mid sized budgets productions.
