Larry MantleHOST
Is that kind of a blip, just given its recent, or is this indicative of a deeper problem at Warner Brothers?

Dade HayesGUEST
I mean, I'm not in L.A. and covering the studio these days, so I can't really attest to this sort of, you know, the atmosphere on the lot.

Dade HayesGUEST
But I will say there is absolutely volatility, you know, baked into the movie business.

Dade HayesGUEST
Having covered it over my years, you know, covering Hollywood, it's interesting.

Dade HayesGUEST
And I'm not saying that this is their playbook exactly, but, you know, anytime you've got big investors and they've, you know, gone out to a huge syndicate, including Amazon, Middle East countries, I mean, they've really gotten a big coalition of financial backers, and they've really sort of come to market with this idea that they can kind of de-risk the movie business.

Larry MantleHOST
Dave, what about who's going to be in the prime leadership positions? Do we know yet? And we know how, you know, sort of percentage wise, Warner Brothers versus Paramount execs are going to be leading the combined entity.
