A group of U.S. states, including California and New York, are preparing a lawsuit to block Paramount Skydance's $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros, aiming to lead antitrust enforcement as federal agencies adopt a more business-friendly approach.

Shares of Warner Bros Discovery and Paramount Skydance declined following reports that U.S. states plan to file a lawsuit to block Paramount Skydance’s acquisition of Warner Bros.

A group of Paramount+ subscribers filed a lawsuit urging a federal judge to block Paramount Skydance’s $110 billion deal to acquire Warner Bros Discovery on antitrust grounds, marking the first legal push to halt the deal.

Paramount has asked a California court to dismiss a lawsuit seeking to block its $110 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, calling it a 'misguided' and 'clumsy' attempt to 'politicize antitrust law'.

A coalition of U.S. states, led by California and New York, is preparing to launch a lawsuit aimed at blocking Paramount Skydance's $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros, representing the most assertive action from these states in their quest to lead U.S. antitrust enforcement efforts.
