The Warner Bros. Thread | Will NOT merge with Paramount...capitalism is still terrible

[Cappoedameron]

Yeah it seems whenever this man has publicity it's overwhelmingly negative and he if he doesn't stop he may be responsible for audiences, not just talent in Hollywood turning their back on the studio.

 

I quite frankly because of everything he's done don't want to support WB films until he is gone.

The Cartoon Brew headline is bad and misleading (the actual content about CNS losing its independence via the merger is what people should be concerned about), but former general manager Brian A. Miller doesn't seem all that optimistic either.

Remember, Zaslav did not cause these problems, he is simply trying to solve them.

This is why I never comment on the stocks aspect of things, I have no idea about this stuff and don’t want to sound like an idiot.

Not exactly sure that's panning out well for him. Sure, a bunch of randos saying mean things about him online won't lead to him getting the boot. But at the very least, the almost constant barrage of bad press is going to make the company untenable for the next few years (assuming Zaslav is in this for the long haul).

They're not going to fire Zaslav. All companies get bad press for layoffs and restructuring, it's par with the course.

Of course he's not going anywhere right now midway through this merger. Really it all depends on what happens after this messy ugly process is complete.

Curious when the last time there was positive news out of WBD?

The success of The Batman? Or maybe when it was announced that Zaslav was coming in..

Wouldn't be surprised if Zas had something to do with pushing through/finally getting over the hurdle of doing that "other thing"...over there...on Black Adam.  "We can make them better..." he said...

if you’re referring to what I think you are, I’m pretty sure that was the Rock’s doing.

Everyone in Hollywood knew that bringing back HC as Super was smart business.

Sure.  But everything costs money...

A Batman film being a success is like a bond film doing well , you just need a film not being a total train wreck

Hell, a lot of people here don;t know how business works isn general. The idea of "return for investment" seems to be hard for people to grasp.
