No, it really isn't.   One of the bigger problems in Hollywood the last 10 to 20 years is rushing out films before they are ready.  Not gonna tag Tele (as I doubt he wants to be tagged into this thread), but he is right on when he complains about films locking in dates years in advance.   The more I think about it and the more I observe substandard or mediocre films/shows that needed more baking in the oven the more I am convinced that Hollywood's obsession with locking in ca

WB seem to be shoring up 2016 and 2017 following a relatively disappointing 2015 for them.

 

 
2016 will see the kickoff of the DCEU and 2017 will see Spielberg, Affleck, Nolan in addition to Wonder Woman and the Justice League.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN BOM'S HISTORY (1980-2015) THAT WARNER BROTHERS WON'T HAVE A SINGLE FILM IN THE TOP 15.

Yes, we are going by BOM's chart. AMERICAN SNIPER is a 2014 film.

Man, the DCU cannot come soon enough for Warner Brothers. Truly dreadful year for them. At least it probably makes Sony feel better. 

Huh? Man, just take a good look on the BOM studio section. Considering the fact they had none of their major franchises, they had an unbelievable year. With Creed and In The Heart of the Sea they will likely close the year with almost 1.7B. That is bigger than any year Disney ever had, except for 2013 and 2015, also bigger than any Universal year, except for 2015, bigger than any Fox year, except for 2014, bigger than any Paramount year, except for 2011, bigger than any Sony year, except for 2006.  The fact that they had no massive hit is irrelevant. They are simply in a league of their own. Just consider that an average year total for the Warners (1.7B) is a fantastic year total for any other studio.

Variety: After a Rough Film Year, Can Kevin Tsujihara Lead Warner Bros. Back to the Top?

 

http://variety.com/2015/film/features/warner-bros-2015-kevin-tsujihara-1201646933/

Warners’ succession of bombs began early in the year with the Wachow­ski siblings’ “Jupiter Ascending,” which lost more than $100 million, followed by the TV spy nostalgia trip “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,” the wildly over-inflated fantasy jaunt “Pan” and this month’s “Our Brand Is Crisis,” a quirky political drama that even perennial box office stalwart Sandra Bullock couldn’t save. This year’s write-offs could be substantial, although the studio has financial partners on most of its movies. Insiders suggest that the loss on “Pan,” alone is estimated at $100 million, and “Man from U.N.C.L.E.” an estimated $50 million.

It's November. This is different. Also, LIVE BY NIGHT has also been dated. Kindly move it.

Isn't that already somewhere on the main forum?
