California AG open to structural remedies in Paramount-WBD merger lawsuit

California Attorney General Rob Bonta said he is open to structural remedies to settle the lawsuit over the Paramount-WBD merger but rejected hard-to-enforce behavioural remedies. He specifically dismissed David Ellison's pledge that the merged company would release 30 films a year, calling it an "old, stale promise." Bonta indicated structural changes could be a viable path to resolution.
