Getty Images Paramount Skydance began to lay out its legal argument Thursday against an antitrust lawsuit brought by a dozen states, calling it “one of the weakest merger challenges in modern antitrust history.”
Paramount’s lawyers filed an opposition to the states’ motion for a temporary restraining order, which would pause the $111 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. In it, Paramount argued that the states’ claim that the merger will harm competition is contradicted by the “real-world economics” of the film business.
