Skydance Media's deal to acquire theater operator National Amusements, with its controlling interest in Paramount Global, could be finalized by Monday, sources familiar with the deal process said. Parties are expected to work throughout the weekend to finalize the deal before Tuesday's start of Allen & Co's annual gathering of technology and media titans in Sun Valley, Idaho, which Paramount Global Chair Shari Redstone typically attends.
