Does anyone know, like actually *know*, how this movie can now be released when the whole point of shelving it was to save a bundle of money on taxes? As in: why doesn't WB now owe a pile of money?

#Actors and Entertainers Sign Open Letter Opposing Merged of #Paramount and #WarnerBrothers
More than a thousand of Hollywood’s most prominent writers, directors and actors signed an open letter Monday voicing their opposition to the proposed merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery. The letter reads in part, “The integrity, independence, and diversity of our industry would be grievously compromised. Competition is essential for a healthy economy and a healthy democracy. So is thoughtful regulation and enforcement.” Paramount Skydance announced its intended $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery earlier this year, after Netflix dropped its bid. Paramount’s offer still requires regulatory approval in the U.S. and Europe. If completed, it would create the largest media conglomerate in U.S. history, spanning news, sports, movies, video games, theme parks and more — all controlled by Paramount Chairman David Ellison, a vocal supporter of President Trump.
"Gulf sovereign wealth funds are undertaking a sweeping review of American investments, driven by a combination of commercial necessity and political recalibration driven by the Iran war, according to sources familiar with deliberations around the high-level financing deals.
In particular, the planned merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Brothers Discovery, made possible as a result of Gulf financing, is getting a new look. A postponed meeting of the board of the Qatar Investment Authority will reconvene within the next week as the fund recalibrates its investment approach, a source with knowledge of the deliberations said. “Even from a purely, purely numbers perspective, you have to look at this again,” said the industry source, asking for anonymity to speak freely about investment matters rarely discussed publicly.
No announcement from the meeting is expected, the source said, as the Qataris are unwilling to unilaterally back out of the deal without Saudi Arabia also doing so. Withdrawing from the deal would be seen as a political shot against both Israel and the United States, which Qatar feels it can not undertake alone under the current circumstances.
The merger between the two media conglomerates was announced on February 27, 2026. The next day, the U.S. and Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran, which responded, as promised, by attacking Gulf countries hosting U.S. bases. Those same Gulf countries are the primary financial backers of the merger, according to documents on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Wealth funds connected to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates pledged $24 billion to back the deal, which cost nearly $111 billion."

Oracle, and their shitty but first-on-the-market proprietary database systems, is why Ralph Ellison and his spawn get to wreck the #media landscape.
the Ellisons print money with #Oracle. it’s why they’re behind the MAGA enshittification of #CBSNews, #Paramount and #WarnerBrothers.
so they just fired 30,000 workers from Oracle to put all that money into their #GenAI, stochastic-parrot-as-a-service (SPaaS).
the Ellisons bankruptcy will be one of the most celebrated in the #tech world.
Another falls to Trump. Independent Media is existential. The attack on Iran is probative.
With Trump’s friend, Paramount all but owning CNN and CBS, we now have three Fox News. Independent Media is our last backstop as the oligarchic takeover of mainstream media is near complete.
