Rice reportedly doesn't want to work under Zaslav. He pulled out of the running once he found out that he had to report to him.

 

Peter Rice Exiting Disney; Dana Walden Taking His Post – Deadline

 

Rice was probably going to run WB before it went to DeLuca.

Ezra Miller had apparenely dissapeared; if he is trying to avoid prosecution for that felony assault charge in Hawaii he is an idiot, and big PR headache for Warners.

IN another thread someone suggested that Warners is "Parenting": Miller; this is just plain whack. No way would Warners aid and abett a fugitive.

I imagine Alan Horn just wants to retire at this point.

You keep saying felony assault charge - please provide links to anything saying anyone in power in Hawaii wants to charge him. Since you keep bringing it up, you must have inside info about it or something?

He was arrested for felony assualt, formal charges usually follow.  Hawaii sinot going to let him skate away on this.

you just don't get how much more serious this is then the usual out of control celeb antics.

You keep saying that, but there's literally nothing indicating any charges from the DA here, and until there are (which may be never) you shouldn't say that there are any charges because that will be misinformation on your part.

Ahead of Buyouts, Warner Bros. Discovery Said to Be “Moving Rapidly” on Synergies

CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels has signaled that he would look for places where operations can be streamlined and costs cut or optimized, including ad sales, which employs about 3,000 people worldwide.

 

“Since early April, over 30 senior WarnerMedia executives have departed from Warner Bros. Discovery,” Creutz added. “We are not surprised at the level of turnover, as we expected Discovery management to move quickly, but it has still been striking to watch in real time.”

Warner Bros. Stands by J.K. Rowling After Reporter Blocked from Asking Question About Her

https://variety.com/2022/film/global/jk-rowling-sky-news-interview-warner-bros-1235306835/

 

Will be interesting to see how Warner Bros. treats the Ezra Miller talking point re: THE FLASH come press time next year.  But of course they have infinitely more historically invested in Rowling...and apparently for the future, going by the statement!

WBD must be happy AT&T didn't sell off WB Games. Multiversus might end up being the biggest F2P game since like Among Us.

Almost one month later no one is talking about Ezra.

I'm surprised it was even considered because the gaming division is very profitable.

[BadOlCatSylvester]

The recent rumours have come to pass, it seems. I'm not quite sure how far he can go as just an adviser, but I'm sure Warner are pleased to have him back on their side.

tbh I think selling crunchyroll was a mistake as well.

 

The Warner gaming divisions area mess. they are not using the dc ip properly imo. could be bad luck, bad planning or otherwise but it will be 8 years  for rocksteady's post Arkham knight game. they have cancelled quite a few projects.

 

 

Gotta wonder how much power Alan horn will wield as consultant.

[Jonwo]

I imagine Alan Horn's role is perhaps shape what WB's movie slate strategy should be going forward especially with DC and animation. 

 

I've mentioned this before but Warner Bros should try and grab projects from the likes of Tarantino, Nolan etc or perhaps tying with MGM for James Bond.

WB games's future really hinges on Multiversus right now. Seems to being doing massive numbers right now, but interest could easily wane out if there isn't continued support (and Im not sure if Zaslav will be willing to fund more on the team). If the game has longevity and doesnt die in like a month, it would be a huge deal for WBD as a whole (their gaming division would be making more profits than it ever has before).

Multiversus is probably the first Non-indie Smash Bros clone in a long time that is really good. It just makes Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl even more sorry in retrospect

Tbh it's probably the first one in general to be good.
