Paramount Is the Last Hollywood Studio Standing. Its Days May Be Numbered.
All are part of the film catalog of Paramount Global the fabled Hollywood studio being courted by PE-backed suitors. Any deal must satisfy the demands of Shari Redstone, Paramount’s controlling shareholder, who just torpedoed a bid by David Ellison’s Skydance Media with KKR and Redbird Capital. Paramount is on the market because of sagging returns from broadcast and streaming, even as it struggles to service nearly $15 billion in long-term debt.
