Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger Opposition
The open letter claims that the $111 billion megamerger would lead to fewer avenues for work and a further consolidation of power within the entertainment industry.
High-profile names like Pedro Pascal, Florence Pugh, and Bryan Cranston have recently added their support to the campaign.
Paramount has responded by stating that the merger would actually provide more opportunities for creators.
Theater owners have also joined the opposition, fearing that a combined entity would have excessive leverage over theatrical windows and distribution terms.
