• HBO Max & Paramount+ will be combined into one service;
• 15 films per studio with 45 day theatrical windows for each film;
• Merged company will have approximately $79 billion in debt;
• $6 billion in cost cutting including consolidating on tech infrastructure, real estate, corporate overheads & more;
• No plans to sell off/spinoff any of their cable assets, such as Nickelodeon — flexibility to put sports like UFC on any cable network;
• Will continue to licence movies & TV shows to other studios and platforms;
