Talk:Skydance Media

Split lists after the merger

After Paramount Global merges with Skydance Media both will be defunct making this article obsolete. However, it's clear Skydance will continue its separate production, maybe as "Skydance Pictures." So let's give it's own article like Miramax and Republic Pictures when the time is right. 2601:152:5001:DCC0:8192:4B47:7741:E0DC (talk) 02:27, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The film production division will probably just be folded into Paramount Pictures since that studio has the name value, just like how Amazon's movies now have the MGM logo on them. Similar thing will likely happen to the TV division. Inpops (talk) 20:18, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Good points. I respectfully suggest that it will be important to keep the Skydance historical info in the encyclopedia. Left Central (talk) 23:25, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What's this "Yin Yang" live action series doing in the television section?

I went through history of the article, and it used to say "Untitled Steins;Gate live-action series". Even when it's called "Yin-Yang" instead, there's still the citations for Steins;Gate. I'm kinda confused about this edit. 24.152.144.132 (talk) 16:55, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rename Article as Paramount Skydance Corporation?

With the FCC approval cleared, shouldn’t we rename this page as Paramount Skydance Corporation rather than just creating a brand now page for it? There is a page for Paramount Skydance Corporation but it is a redirect. How should we deal with this? NevadaExpert (talk) 23:16, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Technically this is not the same company though, right? The former companies cease to exist and a new company is formed. I don't know how it actually woks legally though. Is one of the companies the legal predecessor? Mclay1 (talk) 13:47, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The issue here has been settled and addressed. This article is remaining as is. NevadaExpert (talk) 15:14, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I wanted to explain how it works, New Pluto Global, Inc was used hold Paramount/ NATL Amusement , Skydance Media uses Sub-Merger entity, where Skydance Media, LLC. uses active as Qualified Survivor (single type). This simply means active with same structure before the merger. this means Paramount Skydance Corporation formed, but Skydance Media can exist with same structure as subsidary.

There are no sources of a Skydance Pictures division. We’ll have to wait and see. XyloQuip289 (talk) 13:18, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
But there is Skydance Pictures, a film production and finance company, formerly Skydance Media. LogoFan2007 (talk) 13:40, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Can you provide a source? Because, I looked at Paramount’s website and there’s nothing. XyloQuip289 (talk) 16:05, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I want to qualify that I have no opinion on the rename. Just that the term "SKYDANCE PICTURES" does exist on a reputable industry website. Frankly, unraveling corporate ties is an exercise in frustration, and will change over and over.  • Bobsd •  (talk) 23:32, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
let's deal with facts, SKYDANCE PICTURES, LLC (201328810175) Exist using the Search | California Secretary of State JESSE SISGOLD 2900 OLYMPIC BLVD SANTA MONICA, CA 90404. Jesse Sisgold is President of Skydance, with same adress. gathering this production etitny under Skydance Media. Due to note Skydance Media, LLC still active as Qualified Survivor (single type) (SKYDANCE MEDIA, LLC (201017610037)). the best soultion is "SKYDANCE MEDIA" stays as name of the page since active holding & histroical name. "SKYDANCE PICTURES" added within the division since production entity it uses. Ekki múkk (talk) 16:24, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: No source that Skydance Media has now changed its name to Skydance Pictures. Being a new unit of a new company is not the same as a WP:NAMECHANGE, and Wikipedia should not treat it as such. Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 21:29, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. No evidence that they have changed their name to "Skydance Pictures" nor that this is currently in widespread use by independent, reliable sources. Interestingly, when I do a Google News search for "Skydance Pictures" all the results on the first few pages are from older, mostly pre-merger sources. Some representative examples:[1][2][3][4][5] On their official website they refer to themselves as simply "Skydance" in prose but "Skydance Media" is used in the page title on my web browser, in the mailing address, and in the copyright info at the bottom of the page. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 22:41, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Protected edit request on 10 August 2025

I am asking for "Skydance Productions" in the infobox to be removed, as that is the former name of Skydance Media, and there is no evidence that there's units of Skydance Media by either name of "Skydance Pictures" or "Skydance Productions". ClarkKentWannabe (talk) 22:17, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's listed in the infobox as "Formerly". That seems correct to me. In any event this can wait until tomorrow rather than bothering admins over it. * Pppery * it has begun... 05:22, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
let's deal with facts as said many times, Skydance Pictures exist, so did Skydance Productions. SKYDANCE PICTURES, LLC (201328810175), SKYDANCE PRODUCTIONS, LLC (201017910076) all active company, Individual JESSE SISGOLD 2900 OLYMPIC BLVD SANTA MONICA, CA 90404. Jesse Sisgold is President of Skydance. Search | California Secretary of State which were Skydance base, this as official we going to get, as from Cal Gov Company Database. Skydance Media still active as Qualified Survivor (single type) (SKYDANCE MEDIA, LLC (201017610037)), This means still active Holding Company Before the merger. The best solutions is SKYDANCE MEDIA, remains Page name as stil active and histrcial name, in division Skydance Pictures listed as it used legal for films productions. Ekki múkk (talk) 13:08, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, no. Skydance Pictures & Skydance Productions is said to be legal & former names of Skydance Media. There is no word that Skydance Pictures is going to be used today. It doesn’t seem to be listed on Paramount’s brands website either.
https://www.paramount.com/about/brands XyloQuip289 (talk) 03:43, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"is said to be legal" Skydance Pictures, LLC (Entity No. 201328810175) is an active legal company per Search | California Secretary of State which official state biz search & filings. It has an Initial Filing Date of 10/14/2013. Skydance Media, LLC (Entity No. 201017610037) was filed earlier on 06/23/2010. So Skydance Media clearly pre-dates Skydance Pictures. it’s not a former name, of Skydance Media two distinct entity. Skydance Pictures is the production company used for filings, tax credits, and legal compliance. Same setup as Marvel in the UK using MVL Productions UK Limited for production and tax filings, it’s about the legal entity behind the films, not just branding.
Skydance Pictures is internal but active and important. Brands | Paramount chooses what brands to show publicly, so Skydance Media, Sports, and Animation are public-facing, investor-friendly brands. But that doesn’t mean Skydance Pictures isn’t vital. They own more than they show. some brands or entity are internal, not for public display. Personally, I still say the page name should stay “Skydance Media” as that’s historic and active name. But Skydance Pictures should be listed as an active division if editors want to reflect how Skydance does production side. Ekki múkk (talk) 15:35, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Subsidiary?

This article keeps getting changed as Skydance Media not being defunct and is a subsidiary of Paramount Pictures without any sources. It’s not listed on Paramount’s brands page. https://www.paramount.com/about/brands. When you open Skydance’s website. It will say “Skydance is now Paramount Skydance Corporation. As such we have a NEW Privacy Policy and a NEW Privacy Choices Tool, which both apply to this site, and the related tracking technologies we and third parties use.” XyloQuip289 (talk) 15:13, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

in short terms New Pluto Global, Inc was used hold Paramount/ NATL Amusement , Skydance Media uses Sub-Merger entity, where Skydance Media, LLC. uses active as Qualified Survivor (single type). This simply means active with same structure before the merger. this means Paramount Skydance Corporation formed, but Skydance Media can exist with same structure as subsidiary. Search | California Secretary of State SKYDANCE MEDIA, LLC (201017610037) - still active. not every merger means all combine, really create new holding so hold asset Skydance Media as own sub, Paramount Global/ NATL Amusement asset under it. Internally cheaper use same pricacy across their sites. Ekki múkk (talk) 15:46, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I looked at the website and searched Skydance Television and says that the company is still active although they merged with Paramount Television Studios and that Paramount Skydance Corporation is inactive? These are company filings, they don’t show everything of what happens to a business formation. XyloQuip289 (talk) 15:54, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Those are on SEC Fillings which are long, so many cite Deadlines, Varitey who often souce from direcy lySEC or
ompnay itself, often brevity not literal sense. Point of your mergers don't mean literally two die and one exist, many ways merger could just be operations or how they interally see it. or legallt they mergerea new holding owning two subsairary under it. or kill off two for one entity. Paramount Skydance Corporation is new so Cal filings not updated Active. As Paramount Global base delware , HQ in NY. usually take time file to said state and they check it and then put it up. Skydance Televsion ewill exist because has lot legal copyright and contracts, so merger I guess internally. Ekki múkk (talk) 16:35, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
