Dealmakers Impact Report 2018 By Robert Marich Calabrese: Global Chair of Entertainment, Sports & Media Practice Bruington: Partner Deutsch: Partner Haymer: Partner Offsay: Partner Savill: Partner Joseph Calabrese, Nancy Bruington, Ken Deutsch, Robert Haymer, Rick Offsay, Lisbeth (Libby) Savill Calabrese sees media/entertainment negotiations these days like a poker game in that players have to decide which cards to give up and which to retain. With Hollywood’s ecosystem in flux, he says that negotiation parties are “striking the balance between the rights you are getting or giving versus the rights you will wish you had five to 10 years from now.” The industry is roiled by the integrated content producers that also deliver direct to consumer. Calabrese notes that entertainment media seems to get upended every five to seven years by some seismic change in industry fundamentals. He advises on capital formation, distribution and licensing agreements across the entertainment and sports industries. Bruington specializes in finance matters. Deutsch serves as counsel to companies and advises on media start-ups. Haymer works in M&A, securities and partnerships in entertainment and sports. Offsay handles Hollywood studios, TV networks and entertainment financiers. London-based Savill advises film and TV companies. Their clients include Warner Bros., MGM, A24, beIN Media/Miramax, Hideaway Entertainment, Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., Intl. Olympic Committee, Lionsgate, Netflix, New Republic Pictures, Raine Group and Skydance Media. © Copyright 2018 Variety Media, LLC, a subsidiary of Penske Business Media, LLC.

Paramount Consent Decree Review Public Comments 2018
COMMENTS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF THEATRE OWNERS U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, ANTITRUST DIVISION REVIEW OF PARAMOUNT CONSENT DECREES October 1, 2018 National Association of Theatre Owners 1705 N Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036 (202) 962-0054 I. INTRODUCTION The National Association of Theatre Owners (“NATO”) respectfully submits the following comments in response to the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division’s (the “Department”) announced intentions to review the Paramount Consent Decrees (the “Decrees”). Individual motion picture theater companies may comment on the five various provisions of the Decrees but NATO’s comment will focus on one seminal provision of the Decrees. Specifically, NATO urges the Department to maintain the prohibition on block booking, as that prohibition undoubtedly continues to support pro-competitive practices. NATO is the largest motion picture exhibition trade organization in the world, representing more than 33,000 movie screens in all 50 states, and additional cinemas in 96 countries worldwide. Our membership includes the largest cinema chains in the world and hundreds of independent theater owners. NATO and its members have a significant interest in preserving an open marketplace in the North American film industry. North America remains the biggest film-going market in the world: It accounts for roughly 30% of global revenue from only 5% of the global population. The strength of the American movie industry depends on the availability of a wide assortment of films catering to the varied tastes of moviegoers. Indeed, both global blockbusters and low- budget independent fare are necessary to the financial vitality and reputation of the American film industry.
