Rob Bonta(@AGRobBonta):We’ve reached a settlement agreement with Paramount that includes court enforceable guardrails to resolve the antitrust issues at the center of our case, protect competition and consumer choice, and provide for the production of significantly more films and a minimum of $1.5 billion in additional investment in domestic film production. Over and over, our office has heard from people who would be most impacted by the merger that what matters most is consistent film output, domestic production, and protecting jobs. Today’s settlement protects workers, jobs, and Hollywood.
