Under the agreement, Skydance would buy National Amusements, Paramount’s parent, in a deal with an equity value of $1.75 billion. Skydance would then combine with Paramount.
The parties still need to sign the deals and could announce the transactions as early as Sunday night or Monday morning, according to the WSJ report.
