Take the guarantee that Warnermount "will make 30 films" for the next two years, and 32 films thereafter. That's what's been announced, but when former FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya dug into the actual wording, he discovered they are only committing to *distributing* 30 films, and to making *15* films, which they are allowed to *co-produce* with other studios.

They made 18 movies last year. Under the terms of this deal, they have "committed" to making *fewer* movies than they make today: https://x.com/BedoyaUSA/status/2102173188557799773 They've committed to not selling the Warner lot. For five years. But they *are* allowed to move it out of LA, which is something my neighbors in Burbank are doubtless delighted to learn. After that, they can move it to whatever state offers them the biggest sweetheart tax deal and the weakest union protections. 7/
