How fucked are they if superman flops
>>204611347AT&T will liquidate them
>>204611347They will just sell to someone
>>204611347they're already dead, they just don't know it yet.
>>204611347It's so weird watching what was once the most prestigious film studio in the world become a complete laughing stock.
>>204611446Who would be stupid enough to buy them?
>>204611553I would buy them and put myself in charge of all their films. I'd "leak" the plot on /tv/ and if fewer than five people call it kino, it gets axed.
>>204611553They have a large library, and they'd be cheap. The stock keeps bouncing off of a $7 bottom.
>>204611347PTA movie just has to make 375M (150M budget). They're obviously making excuses to go bankrupt
>>204611553Just release the Acme movie it'll bounce everything back
>>204611347>How fucked are they if superman flopsPretty fucked and they already know this. It will sink the DCU right there. The Superman & Lois show just started it's final season and I can already see Gunn's influence.
>>204611347>If.
>>204611553Disney.
>>204611347what do you call this. it is an image with power?
>>204611347>>204611475What killed Warner Brothers?
>>204613955THE ICE AGE
>>204611347>if
>>204613925fat roaties seethe at this slot
>>204611347They'll just shut down Cartoon Network and whatever dead studios they own nowadays
I work for WB and am so worried about getting axed if they need to trim the fat
>>204614041What’s your job title?
would these companies be profitable if they stopped trying to make new movies/shows and just managed their existing content?I know that's not free. They'd need lawyers to sue when their copyrights are violated, and salespeople to deal with TV channels and streaming services that air their content.But if the numbers work for keeping the minimum amount of employees to collect payments for the old stuff people actually want to see, that's gotta be smarter than dumping money into new movies that nobody wants and will be forgotten in a year.
>>204614068IT
>>204611347I'm shorting them right as Supes releases>diddler Gunn is incapable of doing this right, and WB will try to use it as idPol vehicle
>>204614142It flopping has already been priced in retard
>>204613817>we'll never but a half-assed script into production >Aka only ones with asses full will go into production I can"t wait for more anal rape
>>204611347DCU is fucked, WB can shit out thousands of Barbie sequels
>>204613955Nepotism, Arrogance, and Greed
>>204611347Not really any more fucked than usual. They are going to have to have a reconciliation with reality though, which is that the superhero genre is going to be dead for the next 10 years and that they blew their shot at success multiple times over. Superman Legacy is the last straw but it's not the straw that broke the camel's back. The reason Warner Bros. failed is because they could never pick a direction and stick with it, and that ultimately undid them. I think it will take Superman Legacy failing to make them realize that they have a problem that they can't just reboot their way out of.I think Warner Bros. is going to have to rest the DC universe for 10 years, at least. They will have to focus on lower budget critical darlings that can bring in profit, with an occasional spectacle driven blockbuster. Then, maybe, in the 2030s when people are having lots of kids again and the worst execs at the studio have been phased out, they can take a risk at starting up superhero movies for a new generation. After all these years of bad superhero movies everyone is just tired.>>204611420They already did. AT&T wanted to do what Comcast did with NBC Universal but they gave up as soon as they launched HBO Max. They spun off Warner Bros. so they could merge with Discovery. AT&T had their foot in the entertainment industry for a hot minute and the executive culture at Warner Bros. was so toxic and backstabby that they wanted out almost as fast as they got in.
>>204614091Have current certs or put some feelers out, tho if you"re backend IT you'll be among the last to go
>>204614227Between WB and HBO failing, I wonder how long until they start selling IP's off.
WORNOUT BUTTHOLES
>>204614169Lol, it will go far lower once people see Gunn's Superman. Trust me - I've worked at a company who did exactly what WB is doing>share price from $88 to $3 in a year >all the while le "we're too big to fail, it's ok just need to restructure">the customers NEED our subpar product, the competition won't beat usMonth after month of the worst YesMen execs scrambling for brains and profit until >poof
>>204614270No one wants ruined IPs. Mayyybee Nintendo would put a low-ball bid on Batman but lol>hard to unrape lore
>>204611420ATT hasn't owned them for a while now.
>>204614227>the last straw but it's not the straw that broke the camel's backplease let this be sincere
>>204614270HBO Max is a fine service, it's one of the only ones I'm subscribed to. I don't think Warner Bros. will go out of business but they will be forced to become smaller and more profitable, which means no more superhero movies for a long time. If I was a doctor trying to diagnose Warner Bros, I'd tell them they are spending too much money on superhero movies and they can't make them profitable. The prescription would be to stop making superhero movies for the foreseeable future.
>>204615103>Brendan Gleeson raped WB capeshit to deathAmazing
>>204614270HBO is winning actually, just right now the penguin show is wiping the floor with the competition. These companies lose way more money ln streaming than what they make on theaters and HBO is doing fine in that regard
>>204614390Imagine a future where Microsoft is the one that buys Warner Brothers. They already offered them $2 billion for their videogame publishing arm but WB's terms were too strict to follow through.
>look how they massacred my studioI hate that fake teeth corporate faggot Zazlav. MAKE ORIGINAL MOVIES AGAIN, YOU IMBECILES.
>>204614390>No one wants ruined IPsthats a lie, plenty will buy sloppy seconds if the price is right to bet on a spiderman situation.
>>204615818>let's keep churning out 200 variants of the same shit but worse each time>also, some of the MCs have been raped >worst case we can sell it after making it unwanted, right?>right?
>>204615818I'll buy the Batman IP for 20 bucks..they can keep Joker
>>204615990I'll pay $100 for Joker. There's gonna be so much buttstuff.
>>204611347If?
I want Superman to flop and for Gunn's DCU to crash and burn but I also really don't want to see WB go under. Amazon owns MGM. Disney owns Fox. Paramount will probably be bought out by Netflix or something. Warner is the only one left.
>>204613955ezra miller unironically WB could have cut ties and recast Flash in 2019/2020 since their contract from 2014 was expiring…and instead chose to renew the contract
>>204613955They coasted off their popular franchises while they let them rot into shit (DC, Harry Potter, LOTR, Matrix, Looney Tunes, etc) and didn't develop any new franchises in the mean time
>>204613955The whole Snyderverse thing
>>204618132This. Mike DeLuca is one of the few competent execs left and his lone accomplishment at WB is that lucky shitfest Barbie. The guy used to be a champion for writers and original stories but somehow has completely lost the plot.
>>204611347Warner Bros. sisters...
>>204611347It won’t flip he’s pandering to kids and women with the fucking dog, did you see John campeas panel? The woman almost had an orgasm saying islets the best thing she’s ever seen
>>204611347They are already super fucked. WHEN Superman FLOPS, WB will sink like the Titanic. Mark my words!>>204618511Wishful thinking, but Snyderverse ended with Aquaman 1 and that made a billion dollars. The Hamadaverse and Gunnverse is what really killed it.
>>204614227>I think Warner Bros. is going to have to rest the DC universe for 10 years, at least.This. They need to bring DC back to TV but not like the Arrowverse. Superman for example should have a dedicated TV show like it was in the past so that the character is constantly with with us every year.>A fresh reboot from the start. >Call it Metropolis and bring it to one of the main networks like ABC, Fox or CBS. >Have it be 20 episodes a season>First season is mainly about Lois and Clark investigating Lex Luthor. >Freak of the week type stories as there are meta humans and some who have been affected by the meteor shower in Smallville.>It is a romance story, eventually culminating in a wedding by the end of the 3rd season.>Lex Luthor will get taken down at the end of the first season but will be released from prison in the 3rd season.>Lex did live in Smallville with his father Lionel for a few years when Clark was a teenager. This is how we can get some flashback episodes.>In the meantime Intergang will become the dominant overarching villain during the 2nd and 3rd seasons. >There is no fortress of solitude. Clark does not know of Jor-El until the second season because of Brainiac who will bring Kryptonian technology with him.>The only piece of Kryptonian tech is from his space craft. That is where Ai Jor-El is located.>The creation of the Superman identity is formed by Clark on his own. Lois will name "Superman" in her first story about him.>The Superman suit is a classic spandex open collar, undies and large S shield on the front and on the cape.
>>204618903Well they are the shitfucks down the street.
>>204618511>>204617168>>204618903The mistake of the DCEU was most of the films made could have been part of a Superman or Batman film.>Suicide Squad (Both films) and PeacemakerCompletely pointless. Should have just made a Affleck Batman film and explored some of the SS story there.>ShazamShould have been a Superman film that spun off the character of Shazam instead.>Blue BeetleI wish this character never existed. It's just Power Rangers. Again this character could have been introduced in a Superman film.>The FlashThis should have been a plain solo film that did not involve time travel/multiverse as part of the main story. It was a Justice League film in disguise.
>>204617168>theirFuck off
>>204619108Just waiting for Cavill to return after Gunn's Superman bombs.
>>204613955Goes back to the pre AT&T buyout, and basically they let Blackrock touch a lot of their projects and hiring.

>>204615103HBO Max keeps cutting in and out with the video quality for me and its pissing me off.
>>204611347>How fucked are they if superman flopsFrankly Smallville and the DCAU was the best of DC before it fell of a cliff halfway through the DCEU.
>>204611347The constant downfall of WB is so depressing. They made some of my favorite movies, have CN, Adult Swim, and Toonami. I don’t know what the hell happened but it’s going to be sad when it shuts down and everything’s sold off
>>204619219stop being ridiculous. you can still point out someone’s deranged criminal nature while still respecting their chosen pronouns.
>>204611553Netflix would buy them in a heartbeat, even if just for the back catalogue.You see, that, in times of streaming is a licence to print money. However it has been hilariously mismanaged by Their parent company that seems to know nothing about films at all. For example in Britain Warner Bros films don't have an automatic streamer and you are reliant on catching their films in the cinema or on, usually, the Sky movie tv channel after a while or paying per film on a rental website, if you want to watch online. You could buy them in DVD/Blu-ray, but honestly that's a last resort thing nowadays.As Warner Bros will be absorbed by Netflix Warner Bros itself will cease to exist as Netflix put out films under their own brand identity already.
>>204619166Agreed. DCEU also had other problems such as reshoots and screwing over some of their actors(Henry Cavill & Ray Fisher), while treating Marvel directors like gold(Joss Whedon, James Gunn).
>>204619845>while treating Marvel directors like gold(Joss Whedon, James Gunn).That's the real downfall. WB never learn.
>>204618132Very good summation.>>204618630Barbie was a targeted hit at a specific demographic. They really needed one. Its not over yet, trust the plan
