<\/a><\/p>\n

Internal discussions in the Los Angeles Mayor’s Office and the California Attorney General’s Office were told Paramount would announce it was leaving California, but there’s a twist … sources tell TMZ.<\/p>\n

We’re told the Mayor and the A.G. were told the announcement would come yesterday, but it did not happen. We do not know if circumstances changed or if there was just a delay.<\/p>\n

As you probably know, the California Attorney General — other with 11 other state attorneys general — have filed an anti-trust lawsuit against Paramount, trying to block the Warner Bros merger.<\/p>\n

David Ellison<\/a>, the CEO of Paramount, has threatened to move the studio to Texas, Tennessee or Georgia if the Cali A.G. didn’t back off and settle.<\/p>\n

There were settlement negotiations over the last few months, but they couldn’t reach a deal. Attorney General Rob Bonta said Paramount was being unreasonable.<\/p>\n

Ellison threatened to leave California if a settlement wasn’t reached by October 1st. Based on conversations in both the Mayor’s and Attorney General’s offices … it sounds like no deal is possible.<\/p>\n

If Paramount pulls the trigger, it will be a devastating 1-2 punch for Hollywood. “American Idol” is leaving Hollywood for Atlanta. Many other productions have also left Hollywood over the last few years. Fact is … if Hollywood isn’t dead, it’s dying.<\/p>\n

We reached out to Paramount … they said “no comment.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paramount L.A. and State Officials Say Studio Leaving California Published September 16, 2026 10:16 AM PDT | Updated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":466132,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,9,8],"class_list":["post-466131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=466131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466131\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/466132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=466131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=466131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=466131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
