Don’t they have to keep things fairly separate for 5 years under the terms of all the settlements they’ve made? Once those 5 years are up, and if they’re in the shitter. oh boy. It’ll be a Nightmare in Hollywood. _Coming soon from ParaWarnerMountBros Pictures_ 🤣 ---

The bylines on the studio logos at the start of movies are a great time capsule of the clusterfuck that has been studio ownership of both Paramount and Warner Bros. I don’t believe “A Skydance Corporation” will last the 5 years ---
