Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery Will Be Called Skydance
The soon-to-merge Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery officially has a name, Variety reports, and it is simply Skydance. Chairman and CEO David Ellison chose the name of his original film production company, Skydance Media, to cover everything being folded into the new conglomerate. Neither of the two legacy studio names survives in the banner — the merged entity takes the label of the production company Ellison brought with him.

It's a curious kind of branding: the name on the door comes from the founder's own shop, not from either of the two studios whose libraries and history are being combined.

Names are cheap next to that question. What the combined company actually makes will say more about the merger than its letterhead does.
