Warner-Übernahme: Dachkonzern von Paramount und Warner wird Skydance heißen
Die mehr als 110 Milliarden Dollar schwere Warner-Übernahme soll voraussichtlich kommende Woche abgeschlossen werden. Der Name für den Konzern ist dabei nicht unbekannt.
San Jose - After Paramount acquired the Hollywood heavyweight Warner Brothers, the combined parent company will be known as Skydance, according to the story circulating today. Skydance is the name of the production company founded by current Paramount CEO David Ellison over two decades ago, which he acquired from Warner in the previous year.
Both companies maintained their distinct identities and brands, Ellison argued on the social media platform X, in order to prevent one name from overshadowing the other after the merger. The nearly $110 billion Warner acquisition is expected to be finalized next week, with Ellison's purchase tour in Hollywood partially funded by his family fortune.
His father, tech billionaire Larry Ellison, made his fortune as the founder of Oracle software corporation. Netflix had initially been in talks to buy Warner's streaming and studio operations, but Paramount held firm, offering a higher bid for the entire Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate, including television networks like CNN.
