Paramount closed its $81 billion (€72bn) purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, the companies announced on Tuesday, forming a new Hollywood giant called Skydance.
The merger brings HBO Max, films ranging from "Harry Potter" to "Sinners", and networks including CNN under the same roof as Paramount+, CBS and ******* les such as "Top Gun" and "The Godfather".
"Today is a historic day, not just for Skydance but for our entire industry," CEO David Ellison said in a statement.
The deal further concentrates power in an industry already run by just a handful of major players. Ellison's Skydance bought Paramount in an $8bn (€7.1bn) deal last year, and set its sights on Warner soon afterwards.
What followed was a tumultuous, yearlong fight over Warner's fate. Including billions of dollars in debt, Paramount's buyout of Warner amounts to nearly $111bn (€98.6bn).

A little bit of personal story-time to start this week's Sinners & Saints. Yesterday was the first Roma match that my girlfriend watched all the way through in a serious way. She's a fan of football in general, but follows the NWSL most closely. Thanks to my work with Chiesa di Totti, she knows what's going on in a general way with Roma most of the time, and we've both been thinking for a while that it would be great for us to watch Roma together this season. Her main experience with seeing me follow Roma has been witnessing my frustration: she knows Roma is generally a club with talented players that fail to meet expectations, a club always just on the outside looking in.
Because of some scheduling issues for the first two matches, yesterday was her first time watching a match this season in full (whereas previous seasons, she didn't want to watch because it was "kind of depressing." Fair enough.). 45 minutes in, she was impressed albeit deeply frustrated with Roma's inability to get the ball past Marco Carnesecchi. 85 minutes in, I thought I was introducing her to the apotheosis of what happens when Roma Happens; when no amount of combined talent, no amount of good form, no amount of opportunities on goal seems to be capable of defeating the destiny of Roma to be just one tier below the best of Italian and European football, for eternity.
Then, of course, came the six minutes where Roma turned a 0-1 loss into a 2-1 win. I was on the edge of my seat (literally, my Uber nearly got into an accident) when Matías Soulé scored his stoppage time goal to preserve Roma's perfect record and keep the hopes of something greater for this season alive. I'm still feeling shocked and thrilled that the Giallorossi pulled this one off, and what a game to use to truly introduce my girlfriend to Roma. Roma did concede, and Roma did look as if they were going to lose this one for most of the second half; given that, I had to anoint at least one player a sinner. But make no mistake: this match felt more exciting to me than either of the multi-goal clean sheets that started the season, and in my book is a far better signal for just how high this Roma can go than either the win against Lecce or Fiorentina.
One quick aside before diving into the sinners and saints: my love for Mile Svilar knows no bounds, but if yesterday's match taught me just about anything regarding a non-Roma player, it's that I want Marco Carnesecchi to be Italy's goalkeeper moving forward. What an incredible performance; this one could have and should have been a 5-1 rout, if not for his 9 saves.
He got the game-winner in stoppage time, so he has to be the first saint on the list. MatìGol (can we start calling him that?) put in an excellent shift as a substitute, garnering himself an 8.7 rating from SofaScore after coming on for Rodrigo Mora in the 54th minute and practically willing the Giallorossi to the win. The Argentine attacker had seven total shots, three of which were on target; while

Sinners actor Michael B Jordan and British actress Raye have sparked romance rumors after they were spotted on a theme park ride together at an LA amusement park.
The Oscar winner was captured alongside the "Where Is My Husband" vocalist at Six Flags Magic Mountain over the weekend. The pair were pictured chatting on the rollercoaster, seemingly unaware they were being watched.
Fans captured photos and videos of the actor and "Escapism" singer on the rides, laughing and chatting behind rollercoaster handlebars. The pair were reportedly joined by Jordan's younger brother, Khalid.
Last year, the 39-year-old Black Panther actor was linked to actress Taylor Russell after they were spotted on London's Oxford Street together. He previously dated Lori Harvey between 2020 and 2022, reportedly splitting due to being at different stages of life.
He told Jay Shetty's podcast in 2024 that he gets "lonely" but isn't ready to date again yet. "There's a loneliness that I have; the worst part of that is the feeling like ***** ody really understands. Sometimes falling into the ***** es of being alone, feeling alone," the Swapped actor admitted.

There's no doubt that Michael B. Jordan has natural charisma and charm. After all, he was People's ***** iest Man Alive in 2020. However, even one of the most handsome leading men has his awkward moments. So, after the internet called out the Oscar winner for his uncomfortable posing on red carpets, Jordan responded in a funny way.
Whether Michael B. Jordan is sporting a casual look at the Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiere or rocking a classy suit at the Golden Globes, the Sinners actor is always stylin' with an amazing smile. But, funnily enough, Bustle posted a series of red-carpet photos on Instagram showing that the Creed star's signature pose at these elegant events appears to be clasping his hands together like a waiter.
With social media users joining the bandwagon by commenting about having no problems with the Friday Night Lights actor taking their order, Michael B. Jordan hilariously responded to it all by writing:
