Skydance创始人David Ellison已完成对华纳兄弟探索公司的并购，新公司仍保留Skydance名称1。这笔涉及800亿美元债务的交易整合了两家公司的流媒体平台HBO和Paramount+1。David Ellison担任公司CEO，Ynon Kreiz出任联席CEO并负责执行成本削减工作1。
Ellison计划通过整合与精简运营在三年内实现60亿美元的协同效应1。为履行工会协议，新公司需在两年内制作30部电影，之后每年增至32部；若未达成目标，每部电影需向工会基金支付3000万美元1。Oracle作为主要股东为这笔交易提供了400亿至500亿美元的后盾1。加州同意放弃对该并购交易的结构性补救措施，仅保留行为性承诺1。
David Ellison's Skydance has finalized its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, with the combined company retaining the Skydance name 1. The deal carries $80 billion in debt and represents a major consolidation in the entertainment industry 1.
Ellison serves as CEO alongside co-CEO Ynon Kreiz, who will lead cost-cutting execution 1. Skydance plans to generate $6 billion in synergies over three years, partly through merging the two companies' streaming services HBO and Paramount+ 1. The company faces a significant production mandate: it must produce 30 films within two years, increasing to 32 annually thereafter, or face $30 million payments per film shortfall to union funds 1.
The transaction included $40 to $50 billion in financial backing from Oracle, which holds a stake in the company 1. California regulators approved the deal while agreeing to abandon structural remedies and maintain only behavioral commitments 1.
