At least, we have reason to hope that the Skydance era of Paramount won't last long: AFAIK Skydance is underwritten by the Ellison's family fortune, but that is by now deeply entangled with the AI bubble, because David's father, Larry Ellison, has invested so much in it. If the AI bubble bursts, it remains to be seen how much longer the Ellison family can keep control over the Skydance conglomerate. Of course, it would not serve Paramount well if it had to change owners yet again.

    It's not a problem specific to Paramount or even the industry--t's an economy-wide problem. We are being run by finances guys that understand nothing but make line go up, not movies, not video games, not chocolate bars, not beloved TV franchises.
