Ellison’s anxiety, they say, isn’t fueled by the forthcoming presidential election or the Olympic Games that will descend on Los Angeles, where Ellison now owns two iconic studio lots. Instead, his agita is arising from the 8 movies he still needs to acquire or produce in 2028 to reach the magic number of 30 — that’s the benchmark Skydance pledged to meet annually in order to close the $111 billion acquisition that made his company a content behemoth.

Meanwhile, Skydance is touting the power of its portfolio: A combined 205-million streaming subscribers in more than 100 global territories, a library of roughly 15,000 films and more than 100,000 hours of TV series. Hollywood’s new colossus ha
