Hollywood power player Ari Emanuel is weighing in on Paramount‘s $111 billion megadeal for Warner Bros. “When government officials manipulate markets to reach political outcomes, antitrust stops protecting competition and starts threatening it,” Emanuel writes. “The attorneys general should drop this case and get back to enforcing the laws as they are written. Let Hollywood creatives get back to trying to rip each other’s heads off at the box office, in streaming, online and everywhere else we compete. He also runs TKO, which owns the UFC, which inked a $7.7 billion deal with Paramount last year.
