this one is a bit complicated because they were removing the value of the stock warrants from the stock price, so there is less actual money represented in the stock price, its not a pure decrease in value of individual stocks.

Thinking about it, I don’t believe Skydance will cancel any films currently in the planning or production stages—after all, they have a slate of 30 films per year to deliver. Furthermore, they likely won’t blacklist actors based on their political views (with perhaps a few exceptions), though I suspect they might blacklist certain LGBTQ+ and non-binary performers. To pay off an $80 billion debt, I expect them to cancel numerous TV series, shut down or sell off various companies, and carry out large-scale layoffs—simply put, they cannot sustain a workforce of 53,000 people.
Yeah they won't make that 30 film release agreement. They won't come close; and don't lay off a shitload of people including Seth designers and other Studio personnel.
The California attorney general well bitch and moan, but in the end will do absolutely nothing to enforce the merger settlement agreement because by that time the company will be near bankruptcy anyway.
There is going to be a lot of duplication of work efforts across both enterprises. No reason to keep all of them. They will definitely shrink their staff.
As for their 30 films a year, I'm sure they'll pay whatever fines are necessary if they don't meet that goal.
I also don't expect them to fail any time soon either. This is normal consolidation when you don't have strong anti-trust laws getting in the way.
Finally, I do see them exiting CA. Studios have been doing a lot of production out of CA for a long time now. I'm currently watching Fear Itself, and that was all filmed in Edmonton in Canada. And that was back in 2008. Selling off CA real estate makes sense, but it might not make sense at the moment with rates being as high as they current stand. So the move would be slow.
As long as they don’t cancel DC films or movies featuring actors I like—such as Jenna Ortega—that’s enough for me.
Now they've heard you say that those'll be the first things axed.
if skydance does blacklist most of lgbtq and non binary then skydance will be the biggest heels aka super villains aka bad people aka big bads in hollywood history
and as for the movies well what if skydance recasts most of hollywood left peeps and replaces them with trump right wingers celebs who are like the biggest heels aka super villains aka bad people aka big bads in hollywood history
Exclusive: Elon Musk makes $1 billion investment in Ellison’s Skydance

Musk probably is at this point but that won't stop him.
And it'll just add more drama to the eventual Skydance bankruptcy.
Yeah fuck skydance and everything they're standing, sitting or supine for. Voting with my wallet won't make an iota of difference but it's the only power I have.
Tom can act (He's getting Oscar buzz for Digger).

I haven't seen Tom Cruise in anything since the first Mission Impossible movie and I don't plan to change that pattern anytime soon.
I think he's serviceable as an actor in certain roles.
Just so long as he doesn't get on his little Scientology cult high horse like Travolta likes to do on occasion, he's fine.

Like many actors, he can perform well with appropriate direction (Willis, Cage, Kostner, and a whole host of others), but without such direction, he (and the others) often fall back to playing something like themselves—which can work on some occasions but not universally.
He was good in Rain Man, but he wasn't the star.
Kevin Costner doesn't act per se IMO.
He puts on a costume but pretty much plays as himself in virtually every role he's had.
I think a lot of Bruce Willis later acting choices can be somewhat attributed to undiagnosed Aphasia.
Remember when he first started out in Moonlighting and Die Hard he was a bit of a motor mouth, but as he moved into the 90s-2000s, he started speaking less and less, and by the time he got to Glass, his lines were being fed to him through an earpiece and he was using a stunt double for the majority of his scenes that weren't close ups.

And insists on ego stroking to make himself look taller or to have other characters actually refer to him as youthful out loud.
