Texas Courts David Ellison As the Paramount Relocation Race Heats Up
Texas officials are offering incentives as David Ellison considers a move that could shift Paramount headquarters and 2,500 regional jobs.
- Paramount Skydance is considering moving operations from Los Angeles to Nashville, exploring roughly 400,000 square feet of commercial space as CEO David Ellison actively solicits relocation bids ahead of an October 1 deadline.
- The real estate search coincides with a 12-state antitrust lawsuit led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta to block the studio's $110 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, with Ellison threatening relocation if unresolved.
- Texas has aggressively courted the studio via the Texas Media Production Alliance coordinating a pitch strategy, while Ellison maintains deep personal ties to Tennessee where he lived for 11 years.
- Leaving the historic Melrose Avenue lot would deal a massive economic blow to Southern California, which lost over 42,000 entertainment jobs between 2022 and 2024; Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass vowed to fight for local jobs.
- Critics dismissed the relocation threat as a ploy to manufacture leverage in merger negotiations, while over $2.7 billion in economic value remains at stake with settlement discussions expected next month.
