Paramount Skydance secured overwhelming regulatory clearances, including from the U.S. Department of Justice and European Commission, alongside Warner Bros. Discovery shareholder approval, positioning it to complete the $110 billion acquisition. The September 21 settlement with 12 states resolved the final major antitrust challenge by committing to editorial oversight boards for CNN and CBS News, annual theatrical releases of 30 films, and increased U.S. production spending, removing the last procedural barrier. This rapid resolution after earlier delays from state litigation has driven trader consensus toward Paramount at 99 percent. Remaining uncertainty centers on final court filings or unforeseen financing issues that could still push closing past the June 2027 window.
