Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Commitments As of March 31, 2026, the Company's contractual obligations not reflected on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets decreased $25.6 million, as compared to December 31, 2025, to $473.4 million.

Legal Matters On November 14, 2022, Robert Kirkman, Robert Kirkman, LLC, Glen Mazzara, 44 Strong Productions, Inc., David Alpert, Circle of Confusion Productions, LLC, New Circle of Confusion Productions, Inc., Charles Eglee, United Bongo Drum, Inc.; Gale Anne Hurd, and Valhalla Entertainment, Inc. f/k/a Valhalla Motion Pictures, Inc. (together, the "Plaintiffs") filed a complaint in California Superior Court (the “MFN Litigation”) in connection with the Company’s July 2021 settlement agreement with Frank Darabont (“Darabont”), Ferenc, Inc., Darkwoods Productions, Inc., and Creative Artists Agency, LLC (the “Darabont Parties”), which resolved litigations the Darabont Parties had brought in connection with Darabont's rendering services as a writer, director and producer of the television series entitled The Walking Dead and the agreement between the parties related thereto (the “Darabont Settlement”). Plaintiffs assert claims for breach of contract, alleging that the Company breached the most favored nations (“MFN”) provisions of Plaintiffs’ contracts with the Company by failing to pay them additional contingent compensation as a result of the Darabont Settlement. Plaintiffs claim in the MFN Litigation that they are entitled to actual and compensatory damages in excess of $200 million. On December 15, 2022, the Company removed the MFN Litigation to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. On February 25, 2025, the Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding two claims for the alleged breach of the MFN provisions of their contracts based on certain agreements the Company entered into with another profit participant and a claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. On March 14, 2025, the Company filed its answer to the amended complaint. On November 5, 2025, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of all the claims in the MFN Litigation. The Plaintiffs’ opposition to the Company’s motion was filed on December 4, 2025 and the Company’s reply was filed on December 22, 2025. The parties are also completing limited remaining expert and fact discovery. As a result of a February 23, 2026 Court order extending the case deadlines, the trial for this matter, previously scheduled for April 21, 2026, has been rescheduled to October 27, 2026. The Company believes that the asserted claims are without merit and will vigorously defend against them if they are not dismissed. At this time, no determination can be made as to the ultimate outcome of this litigation or the potential liability, if any, on the part of the Company. The Company is party to various lawsuits and claims in the ordinary course of business, including the matters described above, as well as other lawsuits and claims relating to employment, intellectual property, and privacy and data protection matters. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and while the impact of these matters on the Company's results of operations in any particular subsequent reporting period could be material, management does not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company or the ability of the Company to meet its financial obligations as they become due.
