- A federal judge ordered a pause on the $81 billion merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery for at least two weeks.
- Twelve states, led by California, filed a lawsuit claiming the merger would reduce competition and limit consumer choices.
- The court granted a temporary restraining order to allow more time for legal review before the deal can proceed.
- This merger would combine two major Hollywood studios along with numerous streaming services and media properties.
"This is a critical first win in our case to ensure this megamerger never sees the light of day," California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement following Monday’s order. "History tells the tale of what happens when a few people have great power over markets that are central to Americans’ lives: fewer opportunities for more people, worse products and services for all people."— Rob Bonta, California Attorney General, in a statement after Monday’s order.
