I've never been this excited for a corporate earnings call in my life.

It's like Nolan saw this all coming.

In retrospect, things weren’t that bad under AT&T.

I think some people may be overreacting. From the rumors it sounds to me like Zaslav wants WBD's streaming service (the future one that will merge HBO Max and Discovery+) to be just the home video destination of their products, meaning: TV shows will only be produced for HBO, Cartoon Network, etc., and movies will only be produced for theatrical release, and only later be available on their streaming service. Which is how the entertainment industry used to work before Netflix started investing billions in a flood of content and everyone followed along. At least that's why I'm hoping for. Maybe the Max originals stuff he is going to stop producing for HBO Max, WB will continue to make for rival streaming services.

What if the company goes under, if Zaslav doesn't make these cancellation? 

Lol this guy will just switch to different company after destroying most of the WB brand in like 3yrs when his short sighted movie pipeline fails to crack billions.

It is free, you also don't need to confirm with an email, so you can just make up a fake name/email if you don't want to receive WBD Investor Relations emails in the future lol

I'm still astonished at the revelation that the directors for Batgirl found out that the movie was thrown away while one of them was getting married the other day. Hopefully the entire industry is prepared for whatever the hell awaits us all today.

I was not expecting @grim22 to actually be a legit insider. I wonder what other damning knowledge he's cursed with.

I'm not generally. But for about 12 weeks I am, then I'm not again.

Wow Zaslav saved roughly 20-29% by cancelling a film. Oh you should feel so proud. 

 

Oh and now you have pissed off a huge fanbase, you created immense negative backlash for your streaming service, and to top it all off you pissed off Hollywood.

 

Sure hope that was worth it you cheap asshole.

Actually, Zaslav saves the entire budget of the movie. The 15-20 is additional budget needed to finish the movie. 

 

The loss on the money spent goes into AT&T's balance sheet. It's a very stupid accounting framework but it's only valid for the past quarter

not sure if Nolan would actually be unhappy with Zaslav honestly. He hates streaming. Zaslav is all in on lavish theatrical productions 

[Cappoedameron]

When Zaslav loses millions of subscribers at the next quarterly I'm going to laugh my ass off. 

 

Absolutely no one below the age of 40 gives a shit about these trash reality shows and HG TV when the housing market is at an all time low because of insane interest rates.
