- Description: Deadline’s Dade Hayes reports that Gerry Cardinale, architect of Paramount’s imminent $110 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, says most of the promised $6 billion in cost savings will come from unifying tech stacks and real estate, not job cuts.

**Why it matters.** Hollywood labor watchers will test Cardinale’s claim against the deal’s actual headcount once the merger closes, since independent analyses and past mergers point to heavier layoffs.
