Paramount has reached a settlement with 12 states that were suing to block its $110 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. As part of the deal, Paramount has agreed to spend at least $300 million more on film and TV projects produced in the US.
The studio also plans to release a minimum of 30 movies annually after absorbing Warner Bros. Discovery, according to The Verge. This move is intended to ensure that the entertainment industry is not harmed by the acquisition.
Paramount CEO's plans for the merged entity are not detailed in the reports. The Verge notes that Paramount's recent output suggests it may have to significantly increase its movie releases to meet this new goal.
