  1. I honestly don't see the point if all the new content is gonna be reality tv shows and no new scripted shows. He's delusional if he thinks the 76 million subscribers to HBO Max simply have it because of its legacy library like Friends and other shows people watch whenever they want.

     

    In fact hasn't it been proven through data that legacy libraries can't maintain subscribers. They stay because of the new content. If all you're offering is new HG TV and other crappy reality then all the other demographics are gonna cancel the service.

  2. Zaslav truly thinks the Disney + Marvel shows could have been made into MCU films and Disney stupidly lost money putting them on streaming. This guys a freaking moron.

     

    Sure as if the quality of the MCU isn't already at an all time low lets have Ms. Marvel be released as a theatrical film, let's bore the audience to tears and make even more cringeworthy jokes then Thor Love and Thunder. Oh but at the end we'll have an easter egg from a 90's cartoon show that if you were not from that era will fly right over your head.

     

    Ms. Marvel couldn't even crack the top 10 in Nielson but sure it would have grossed a lot at the box office...

    This is almost certainly what will happen. Projects like The Staircase, The Flight Attendant, etc. are all the kinds of shows that easily would've fit perfectly within HBO's brand of quality television and should've premiered there instead of being touted as streaming exclusives (which only makes it clear that their overall goals for the streaming service were scattershot from the beginning). The DC projects don't fit in with that brand though so who knows what will become of them.

    The new Gossip Girl, PLL Original Sin, and Sex Life have all been very well received so it won't surprise me if those all go to HBO as well. Let's not forget HBO has Euphoria so it's not like none of these shows match the same demographic as Euphoria.

     

    Also the new PLL show is actually really damn good. I never watched the original nor will I but it's got the feel of a retro slasher film so I'm definitely interested to see it continue.

     

    Our Flags Mean Death also got renewed prior to this news so I don't think they will take that back either.

     

    The DC shows like Titans and Peacemaker will probably all just become HBO originals.

    but how much money did SS make? That’s kind of my point. 
     

    Batgirl, no matter how good or bad it is, wasn’t going to make a dime really. 
     

    We don’t know how bad the projections look over at WB for the investment they’ve put in for streaming.

    Suicide Squad made close to 750 million dollars.

    FWIW there's been a tweet going around that The Flash now carries a $300M budget (I sure hope not lol) and I think we all have to agree there's pretty much no chance of that seeing a profit at this point. But you don't see anyone calling for it to be thrown into a furnace all because it faces such an uphill battle to make money (of course there are other reasons why a lot of people want to see that movie buried but that's a completely different story).

    It would not surprise me if one of the announcements at the quarterly is that movie is canned.

     

    Seems Zaslav is ready to just destroy everything WB had before.

    Also this movie followed the budget Zaslav had for HBO Max so it just makes no sense whatsoever. He wants to cater to people that are closer to the grave then people that are gonna be creating the future. His strategy makes zero sense and going into a quarterly meeting I'm shocked that there's so much negative press but at least people are talking about him.

     

    It's just all just incredibly negative press.
