## Summary

Roundabout Entertainment plans to lay off 81 employees at its Burbank post-production studio from 29 December, as new owners restructure the company. The cuts add to wider concern about shrinking employment in Hollywood, where studio mergers and cost-cutting plans are putting film and television jobs at risk.

Founded in 1992, Roundabout provides finishing services such as colour correction and subtitling, with locations in Santa Monica and Atlanta. The article also cites Disney cost-saving efforts and Paramount’s planned $6 billion in annual savings after its Warner Bros. Discovery merger; an impact report estimates 4,500 direct film and television jobs could be at risk.
