Both Paramount and Warner Bros. jumped on Monday after settling an antitrust lawsuit that could have blocked the merger.

Mergers rarely reshape an entire corner of the market overnight, yet the green light for the Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery tie up removes a major legal roadblock and concentrates a huge pool of content under one roof. That shift can ripple across every rival studio and streaming platform.

Paramount Skydance has cleared the last major hurdle to its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by reaching a settlement with California and 11 other states that sued over antitrust concerns. A settlement would remove a key obstacle for the $110 billion megamerger of the two entertainment giants. Warners Bros.

Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery long-awaited merger has been at a standstill.

Warner Bros. stock dropped 1.8% Monday to $25.28, ending about 18% below the $31-a-share cash offer from Paramount, whose stock also declined Monday. Warner Bros. stock had been trading around $27 in June.

The company has a high bar for acquisitions.

Last week, a coalition of 12 attorneys general filed a lawsuit that challenges the $110 billion acquisition, arguing that the deal.
