: “Chris, Graham and the entire Endeavor Content team have built an incredible business, and the opportunity to combine the complementary strengths, resources and assets of CJ and EC is immense.

We’ve never been a British-focused company, necessarily. It’s always been a kind of global focus right from the beginning. A lot of our film and TV projects speak to that.

Our terrific relationship with WME continues.
