Warner Bros. Discovery Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

It’s official: Deadline reports that Greta Gerwig‘s “Barbie” is now the highest-grossing domestic film of 2023. This comes to the surprise of no one who’s felt the Kenergy since the film hit theaters a little over a month ago with a $162 million opening weekend.

More “Harry Potter” is coming from Warner Bros., as the studio revealed last Spring. But don’t expect it to reach Max for another couple of years.

You may or may not watch sports on television, but the announcement this afternoon of a new streaming partnership may be a major incentive for your household to cut that cable bill. In a seismic moment in streaming history, the Walt Disney Company (ESPN, ABC), FOX, and Warner Bros.

Before the MCU‘s “The Avengers” took over the silver screen, a different “The Avengers” held sway over TVs in the UK. And Studiocanal hopes they might replicate the sensation of the original series with a reboot.

There aren’t many true movie stars in Hollywood anymore. Sure, there are A-listers, but there aren’t many people who actually can lend their name to a film and watch it become a hit just based on name recognition alone.

Last week, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav made news, yet again, regarding a controversial move to shelve an already-produced film.

No one asked for “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” to share this ridiculous connection they have forged, as the two films were released on the same day. We’ve seen plenty of major films get the same release dates.

Over the past week, you’ve likely heard the outcry from filmmakers and film fans about the uncertain fate of TCM under the Warner Bros. Discovery regime.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a CEO in the film and TV industry to have such an immediate impact as David Zaslav over at Warner Bros. Discovery.

If you were ever questioning just how powerful Christopher Nolan is in Hollywood, look no further than the situation that developed between the filmmaker and Warner Bros. during the pandemic.

As if movie fans needed another reason to be wary of new Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav: Deadline reports that the CEO told the hosts of the CNBC show “Squawk Box” that “a love for working” will be what ultimately ends the current WGA writers’ strike.

It really does feel like a lifetime ago when Warner Bros. defiantly said, during the beginning of the pandemic, that every film released in 2021 was going to hit theaters and streaming on the same day.

Even before the whole Snyder Cut situation, there were plenty of reports floating around that behind-the-scenes drama surrounded the Warner Bros. film, “Justice League,” while it was in production.

Yesterday, it was revealed that Warner Bros. Discovery (and its New Line studio) and Embracer Group have hammered out a deal to make more “Lord of the Rings” films in the future.

We are now just over a week into 2023, and on the surface, it would appear that Warner Bros. Discovery finally has a vision for DC Studios and the future of the superhero franchise.

Even though it happened months ago, people still can’t get enough of the story regarding Warner Bros. Discovery’s shelving of “Batgirl” while the film was deep into post-production.

When Warner Bros. started canceling various projects after the Discovery merger, we saw the studio end several DC Comics films/shows in the development phase.

There’s been a lot of drama surrounding Warner Bros. Discovery over the past few weeks, with the new CEO, David Zaslav, cutting jobs and costs, including shelving two films that were in post-production (“Batgirl” and “Scoob! Haunted Holiday”).

There are some interesting, somewhat odd things happening over at Warner Bros. Discovery, huh? Obviously, we have yesterday’s news that “Batgirl” and the new “Scoob!” films are both being shelved even though they were seemingly close to being finished.

As if the current Ezra Miller saga couldn’t get any worse. After news broke last week that a North Dakota family had filed a legal order against Miller accusing the actor of grooming their daughter, A Massachusetts family came forward this week with similar allegations.

Hollywood exec news generally isn’t interesting, but hold on, this is an exception. If you pay attention to film news centering on executives— and we totally forgive and understand if you don’t —you’ll know that following Amazon‘s acquisition of MGM, the company announced that motion picture group chairman Michael De Luca and president Pam Abdy were leaving.
