Warner Bros. Discovery is busy preparing for an epic Hollywood studio merger with Paramount Skydance, which itself faces three antitrust lawsuits opposing the acquisition based on allegedly harmful and anticompetitive outcomes.
Despite those legal machinations, “we remain confident that our agreed-upon sale to Paramount Skydance will be completed,” CEO and President David Zaslav told investors during the company’s earnings call on Thursday. But beyond that canned comment, WBD refused to discuss the merger further.
Instead, WBD wants to instill investor confidence in the company as it is. However, WBD reported a less-than-impressive Q2, earning about $8.7 billion in total revenue.
