Skydance Investors in Talks to Gain Control of Paramount Global Via National Amusements Takeover
Skydance Media investors are in early talks to gain control of Paramount Global via a purchase of a controlling stake in National Amusements Inc.
Shari Redstone, who controls Paramount’s corporate parent, National Amusements Inc., is in early discussions with a consortium of investors led by Skydance founder David Ellison,. The talks may not come to fruition, this person cautions, but if they do, the investors would purchase a controlling stake in National Amusements that it would subsequently use to merge Skydance with Paramount Global. Skydance has for several years produced many of the biggest films released by Paramount’s movie studio, including “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Tranformers: Rise of the Beasts.”
