Paramount's owners were hoping they'd be firmly in control of rival Warner Bros. Paramount's owners were planning to have secured firm control of Hollywood rival Warner Bros. Discovery by the end of this week in a blockbuster deal that has the blessing of President Trump's Justice Department. And her ruling on Monday in response to a lawsuit filed a week ago by a dozen states suggests Paramount may have some tough sledding ahead in order to get the deal through. In the ruling, U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín granted a 14-day temporary restraining order to pause the acquisition. The Democratic attorneys general allege that Paramount's buy of Warner Bros, would reduce competition, hurting filmgoers along with TV. And news consumers and especially those who create entertainment programming and the news content that the public relies on.
