☆ With the Strikes Over, the Mood in Hollywood Is Decidedly Mixed

But Disney+, Paramount+, Peacock and others continue to lose money. Most analysts say that there are too many streaming services and that the weakest will ultimately close or merge with bigger competitors. The entertainment industry’s underlying cable television and box office problems also remain dire, in some cases growing worse during the five months it took to restore labor peace. In July, Disney announced that it was exploring a once-unthinkable sale of a stake in ESPN, the cable giant that has powered much of Disney’s growth over the past two decades. Paramount Global’s once-venerable cable portfolio, centered on Nickelodeon and MTV, has also been pummeled by cord cutting; Paramount shares have dropped nearly 50 percent since May.

☆ Mission Impossible: Paramount reckoning

NEW YORK, July 5 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Paramount Global’s (PARA.O) predicament is worthy of its successful “Mission: Impossible” franchise. Over the past year or so, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRKa.N) has bought and increased its stake in Paramount to about 15%. Without the funding, her closely held firm might have needed to pledge more of its Paramount stock against a loan. Streaming service Paramount+ is similar to Netflix, whose enterprise is worth 5 times next year’s estimated revenue. “Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One,” from Paramount Pictures, opens in movie theaters on July 12.

☆ Paramount Global Terminates Deal to Sell Publisher Simon & Schuster to Rival Penguin Random House

Paramount Global’s comments about its Simon & Schuster unit suggested the book publisher might again find itself on the sales block. Paramount Global , which owns the Simon & Schuster book-publishing unit, said in a federal filing Monday that it has terminated its agreement to sell Simon & Schuster to rival Penguin Random House. Paramount said that Simon & Schuster “remains a non-core asset” and that the publisher “does not fit strategically within Paramount’s broader portfolio,” suggesting Simon & Schuster eventually will go back on the sales block.
☆ Stephen King makes for unlikely antitrust hero

A U.S. judge blocked Penguin Random House’s $2.2 billion acquisition of rival Simon & Schuster on Monday after the Department of Justice argued it would unfairly limit pay for top authors such as Stephen King. Adding Simon & Schuster would give it 70% of the literary nonfiction market, according to NPD Book Scan. The Department of Justice drew a line in its challenge to Penguin, distinguishing highly paid writers from the rest.
