Paramount Skydance will initiate significant workforce reductions the week of 27 October, eliminating about 2,000 positions in the United States within a expense reduction strategy worth $2bn under top executive David Ellison.

More overseas workforce reductions are expected, with the company planning to reveal all specifics during its Q3 financial results on 10 November.
Prior news stated that Paramount was looking to reduce between 2,000 and 3,000 positions by the beginning of next month.
