Paramount Brass Talk Film Studio’s ‘Rebuild Phase’ and Potential for New NFL Rights Deal

Paramount Brass Talk Film Studio’s ‘Rebuild Phase’ and Potential for New NFL Rights Deal

Paramount leaders talked film profitability and the prospect of new NFL TV rights deal but they avoided all questions about Warner Bros. Discovery.

This was the February earnings call event with CEO David Ellison and Paramount Presidenf Jeff She’ll speaking to investors.

A few things stood out:

  • Paramount+ wasn’t mentioned in the article nor were the legacy IP franchises that the previous owners and management almost always stressed

  • The underperforming film side of the conglomerate was called out

  • Pluto is viewed as having been underdeveloped despite being an early free ad-supported streaming television leader and will be a priority

  • investors are concerned about upcoming major pro sport licence renewals

  • Despite being under investigation for allegations of providing insider trading information, Shell is still firmly in place as president of Paramount.
