"The merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery presents an opportunity to revitalize Hollywood and the industry at large by creating greater competition that benefits consumers, theaters, and workers alike."

"Whatever upside Plaintiffs might see in such an outcome, it is not a procompetitive one."

"Ellison, chief executive of Paramount Skydance, has pledged to keep Paramount and Warner Bros. as standalone movie studio operations."

"Pleased WBD's Board has unanimously affirmed the superior value of our offer, which delivers to WBD shareholders superior value, certainty and speed to closing."

"a vision of Hollywood that 'no longer exists'"

"nobody can dictate what audiences will love"

"I love cinema and I love film. You can count on our complete commitment."

"Our shared aim was an outcome that best serves consumers, workers and - most importantly - the creative community so vital to the art of visual storytelling."

"The combined Paramount and Warner Bros Discovery will be named Skydance."
