Variety: The Zas hath spoken " ‘We’re Not Going to Put a Movie Out Unless We Believe In It’ notfabio Aug 04, 14:33

“We’re not going to launch a movie until it’s ready" (buckle up for release date delays!) {nm} notfabio Aug 04, 14:34

sounds like code for more delays (reshoots) for many future releases and some more movies canned {nm} Peter453 Aug 04, 14:38

creatives aren’t (totally) stupid. they know what he’s saying and it’s not giving them confidence in WB as a home racaccoonie Aug 04, 14:52

Wow, that's worse than saying it's a tax write-off. That goes against the WB statement that it's not Leslie Grace's performance. {nm} Antibody Aug 04, 14:37

DL: DiscoWB bloodletting will continue in Kids/Animated Content “without an adequate investment case against them" notfabio Aug 04, 14:39

it takes a lot to make Bob Chapek look like a genius. nevertheless . . . {nm} racaccoonie Aug 04, 15:10

What a concept! We're only going to make movies like ahh, Top Gun - Maverick, guaranteed to make money$$$. Who would have thunk? {nm} erhead56 Aug 04, 14:50

WB currently down nearly 12% in after hours trading. Market really likes the plan being laid out. {nm} Peter453 Aug 04, 15:10

Pointers from a guy who brought us quality programming such as Naked and Afraid, Eaten Alive, 90 Day Fiancé, Palin family reality, etc.(nm} {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Aug 04, 15:40

i don't think creators begrudge merging that stuff with HBO content, if it makes the platform stronger overall. it's the way it's being done racaccoonie Aug 04, 15:44

The people calling shots aren't the folks who wrote Groundhog Day, produced The Godfather -- they gave us downscale, backwater reality shows SenJohnBlutarsky Aug 04, 17:31
