That's a pretty damn big deal if true.

For those of you who don't know, Paramount has the rights to some pretty big films/films series, including:

Transformers

Iron Man

Any film from Dreamworks (so Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, and more)

They also have the rights to the highest grossing film of all time (Titanic), if that counts for anything.

With some of the highest grossing films of all time, why would they want a merger exactly?

It's a good question, and one answered very well by the article.
