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

Legendary Plans The Esperanza Fire

Say Legendary Pictures by the end of the year decide to go with another studio, does WB still distribute say til 2014? If they WB loses them all of LP films starting post deal will go to the new studio?

[Jandrew]

Will Beall just landed a two-picture deal with Warner Bros. How is he doing it? Gangster Squad was mediocre, the JL script was called "terrible" by many insiders, and not only does he have this new deal, but he's reportedly working on the Lethal Weapon reboot and Legend of Conan for Universal. HOW? I'm an inspiring writer so I was just wondering, so I can do what he's doing...though I won't completely fault him for the JL script; that's tough and tricky material to put in 130 pages, especially by one person, but still. http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/GraphicCity/news/?a=74799

Terrible start for WB. TERRIBLE.

Has the Looney Tunes reboot gained any traction? That still happening? I'd love to see them go the Space Jam route again and have them do a sport. Back In Action, no.

Wasn't the original script for Gangster Squad well-received, though? I keep hearing the film was butchered far later in production.

This is just sad for WB. They are probably losing money on all 4 movies.

Erm, not really. They had an ok start and arguably have the strongest summer line-up. WB is doing fine.

They have a good summer lineup but this isn't an okay start. All 4 movies have bombed.

Their summer and holiday line ups are really good. Won't call this start OK though.

Ha ha ha.

I could've been butchered when they had to do reshoots, but it still wouldn't have been too much better IMO. And WB shouldn't let press go all ove the internet calling his JL script "terrible" and what not. They could've messed up his career; that's maybe why they gave him a new deal, I don't know.

It is OK. Not good, but fine. They did 200m so far and standing third among studios, only Universal did better out of the big ones. Ahead of Fox, Paramount, Sony and Disney, who will be behind them even after Oz. That's an OK start in my book.

The list I posted only included the films released this year. True, WB has made 200 M plus so far but more than half of that was from THE HOBBIT: AUJ and ARGO. And you said the start isn't good. So it's bad. 

[kayumanggi]

Plus WB already has FOUR movies that has opened in 2013. Universal, Fox and Paramount only have TWO each and ZERO for Sony and Disney.

[kayumanggi]

Don't get me wrong though. I still believe WB has the chance to win the year.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

I do not think so. I think this year will be bad for them.

Oh why? MOS, PR, THE HANGOVER lll and The Floppit?
