Paramount Skydance settles antitrust suit with 12 states over film release commitments
California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced a settlement between Paramount Skydance and 12 Democratic state attorneys general on Monday.
Film Release Minimums Defined
The combined company must release at least 30 films annually for the first two years of the agreement. This number will rise to 32 films per year for the following three years. At least 20 of these releases must be wide releases, with a minimum of four being independent productions.
Production Spending and Pricing
Paramount Skydance commits to spending at least $300 million more annually on U.S. film production than was spent in 2025. The agreement also includes commitments regarding pricing structures for movie theaters to limit price increases.
Penalties and Window Rules
If the company fails its film commitments, it must divest its stake in Miramax. Each shortcoming on a film requirement requires a $30 million contribution toward healthcare and other remedies. The deal guarantees a 45-day theatrical window with no streaming availability until at least 90 days.
