Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison defended the proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery at CinemaCon, pledging to release at least 30 films annually with a 45-day exclusive theatrical window. This commitment aims to reassure regulators and theater owners concerned about reduced film output and the impact of consolidation on cinemas. The merger faces scrutiny over potential reduced competition and job losses, but Ellison emphasized the importance of theatrical releases for building franchises and profitability amid streaming pressures. The deal remains under close watch by lawmakers and industry groups.
