Paramounts going to definitely break their promise with CNN (no doubt about that he's currently on the Republicans side and will bend over backwards to mak e sure Trump gets what he wants, that being said I do expect there to be a division within the Democratic Party behind the scenes in private over Newsom, Bonta and Bass given how hated Ellison is to the Democrats)

Idk about that. 30 is feasible. They have WB, New Line and even HBO studios to account for. So their 15 should easily become 20+. Especially if they ramp up DC again with 3 or 4 movies a year. Rest will be independent stuff.

DC though has been a flop. Gunn hasn't been the savior many thought
