Skydance Media, LLC, also known as Skydance Productions, is an American media production and finance company[3] based in Santa Monica, California. Founded by David Ellison in 2006, the company specializes in films, animation, television, video games, and sports.

In 2009, the company entered a five-year partnership to co-produce and co-finance films with Paramount Pictures. This agreement was renewed twice, extending to 2021. On July 7, 2024, Skydance announced its intent to merge with Paramount Global in an $8 billion transaction, under an agreement in which Skydance would acquire Paramount's publicly-held controlling shareholder National Amusements, and then perform an all-stock merger with the company. The transaction is expected to close in spring 2025.

## History

[edit]

### Formation

[edit]

Logo from 2016 to 2021

Skydance Productions was formed in 2006 by David Ellison, son of Larry Ellison, co-founder and then-CEO of the Oracle Corporation. The firm's first film was Flyboys in 2006; it starred Ellison and was co-financed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.[4]

In the fall of 2009, Skydance and Paramount Pictures signed a five-year co-financing, production and distribution agreement, with Paramount holding an additional option of distribution. Before August 2010, Skydance hired Dana Goldberg, formerly of Village Roadshow Pictures, to oversee development and production. In August 2010, with the Paramount partnership and an equity investment by Larry Ellison, who was then the sixth richest person in the world, Skydance raised $350 million in equity and credit to co-finance its films.[4]

On October 25, 2011, Skydance tried to sign its own first production client with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci of K/O Paper Products, but the deal never materialized.[5]

### Expansion

[edit]

On May 1, 2013, Skydance launched Skydance Television, hiring Marcy Ross as division president.[6] In 2014, Jesse Sisgold joined Skydance as President of Business Affairs & Strategic Planning[7] and later that year was upped to Chief Operating Officer.[8] Again he was promoted in 2017 to President & COO.[9] In March 2014, Don Granger joined the company as the EVP of Feature Productions, a newly created position; he reports to Dana Goldberg who is the company's chief creative officer.[10]

In March 2015, Anne Globe joined the company as chief marketing officer.[11] Later in the same year, Skydance raised $700 million in new financing. The refinancing included $200 million in equity from a group of investors, and a $500 million line of credit from J.P. Morgan Chase.[12] Skydance renewed its slate deal with Paramount in the summer of 2013 for four more years.[12]

On May 3, 2016, Skydance launched the Skydance Interactive division last year following the acquisition of The Workshop Entertainment and announced in January 2017 for a new story-driven virtual reality game titled Archangel.[13] Skydance also created a production label named Uncharted in December 2016 to house content which falls outside of the action, sci-fi, or fantasy genres.[14]

On March 16, 2017, Skydance launched the Skydance Animation division by forming a multi-year partnership with Madrid-based Ilion Animation Studios.[15] In August 2017, Skydance and Paramount renewed their slate deal for another four years to 2021, with the addition of Skydance's animated films for distribution.[16]

On January 25, 2018, Tencent bought a 5% to 10% minority stake.[1][17] Jun Oh was hired by Skydance Media as head of theatrical, interactive and legal affairs in October 2018.[18] In February 2020, RedBird Capital Partners and CJ ENM invested in the company.[19] In April 2020, Skydance Media named veteran entertainment executive Stephanie Kyoko McKinnon to the newly created post of general counsel.[20] On October 20, 2021, Skydance announced Skydance Sports, a new division led by Jon Weinbach that would produce sports-themed content.[21]

In January 2022, Skydance reached a non-exclusive multi-year first-look deal with Apple Original Films for a slate of live-action films. Variety reported that the agreement called for two films per-year at a budget of at least $125 million each, and Skydance receiving a payout of at least $25 million per-film. Skydance would also retain the intellectual property rights to the films produced under the agreement, and would still be allowed to work with other distributors.[22][23]

On October 13, 2022, Skydance completed a $400 million strategic investment round which was led by KKR, a first-time investor, and joined by the Ellison family who are majority shareholders.[24] By April 13, 2023, Skydance Media backed a new venture from country star Tim McGraw based in Nashville called "Down Home"; with two scripted series in development, along with plans on features and animation to follow.[25] On July 7, Skydance brought a new $1 billion credit facility, giving the film and TV studio enhanced flexibility to invest in its business lines.[26]

### Proposed acquisition of Paramount Global

[edit]

Main article: Proposed merger of Skydance Media and Paramount Global

In January 2024, it was reported that David Ellison was interested to buy Paramount Global's parent company National Amusements from Shari Redstone.[27] Skydance held exclusive talks with Paramount on a merger, but the window expired with no deal in place. An independent committee representing Paramount would go on to recommend a revised offer from Ellison that would see Skydance purchase National Amusements for $2 billion.[28] In June 2024, CNBC reported that Skydance and Paramount agreed to terms on a merger,[29] which was awaiting approval from National Amusements.[30]

After it was reported on June 11 that merger talks had fallen apart,[31][32] negotiations between the two were reported to have restarted on July 2, and Skydance was reported to have reached a preliminary agreement.[33][34] On July 7, Ellison officially announced his intent for Skydance to take over Paramount Global in an $8 billion deal, after having received approval from a special board committee. The deal will be structured so that a group of investors from Skydance will pay $2.4 billion in cash to purchase National Amusements, and Paramount Global will pay its Class A and Class B stockholders $4.5 billion in cash and shares. Paramount would add $1.5 billion in primary capital to its balance sheet. The second phase will see an all-stock merger between Skydance Media and Paramount, valued at $4.75 billion. Paramount Global would have 45 days to look for better or matching offers from other bidders before finalizing.[35][36][37]

On November 3, 2022, Skydance Sports teamed up with America's Cup for an "all-access, behind-the-scenes" documentary series about the next America's Cup race. It is helmed by original Free Solo team Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin under the banner of their production company Little Monster Films.[125]

In November 2022, the NFL announced a joint venture with Skydance Sports via its NFL Films division and investment arm 32 Equity to create a "premier global multi-sports production studio".[157] The first projects announced under the venture included a documentary miniseries on Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones (which was acquired by Netflix in May 2024),[158][159] the NFL Draft documentary The Pick is In for The Roku Channel,[160] a Jason Kelce documentary for Amazon Prime Video,[161] and a Kansas City Chiefs-themed Christmas movie for Hallmark Channel.[162]
