“This deal is getting worse all the time.”

I've preferred the Skydance merger all along because I don't want to see the company broken up, but you're probably right that this will affect any future offer from Skydance. Stockholders are interested in money, not movies or television content, so they had dollar signs dancing in their eyes when Sony floated the $26 billion figure. This is what they get for being greedy instead of doing what's best for Paramount. I just hope it doesn't have a lasting effect on the work being done by studio creators.

I certainly hope so. Consolidation of all these companies is terrible.

Btw John, Stanley Cups have lead in them

Paramount really doesn't need to sell they do have lots of options to make money to pay off their debt you really only sell to make a quick buck and bounce. So Skydance could try to save some money but I think that Paramount would have no problem walking away entirely.

Thank goodness

Good, i don't think everyone wants to see a company buys the other, there used to be the Big Six of Hollywood (Fox, Sony, Disney, WB, Paramount and Universal), now there's five after Disney have bought Fox.

Yet, most of these film companies are owned by non-film studios (unlike Disney owning Fox). It’s also rather ironic how Sony itself (which was just an electronic company for many decades) basically erased Columbia Pictures’ identity. Ey? 😏 I mean I get where you’re coming from but it’s funny to think that two of the biggest film studios like WB & Universal ended up being owned by cable/phone companies. Now while they maintain their status as major film studios, ultimately they themselves were bought by other companies years ago. Just saying

Think it is Sony’s negotiation posture. And yes, CEO by committee usually indicates trouble.

I am putting the towel down, M&A sometimes sucks 😮‍💨

I’m truly disappointed with people who think they run the studio and can decide where paramount goes, saying "I don’t want Sony buying Paramount". They have no other options and Skydance has yet to make an offer that would make everyone happy. You’re just the fans, you’re not the studio.

@@nervenllarena4948no I’m just saying that I find it funny how people (fans) can just decide where they want the studio to be sold to. It doesn’t matter who buys Paramount but if no one acquires it or merge with it, Paramount’s 112 year run is over, gone, finished.

Good. Sony should buy Warner Bros and/or Square Enix

Square clearly aren't interested in being locked down to one platform right now

i assume they got a look at the books and now understand the debt the studio is in.

I hope that who ever buys it, keeps it as it is- with all of the side properties.

The sky dance deal did not fall through because of Sony... it fell through because the A share valuation and B share valuation did not meet the requirements of the funds and they threatened to sue. Sheri wanted te red stone deal but it would be stock in litigation with the investing community for decades.

Good. Please leave it alone.

I'm wondering what happens to ninja turtles and star trek. Would those be sold or would they be abonded properties with a defunct company?
