Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav commented about shelving completed or nearly completed films like Coyote vs. Acme and Batgirl, saying the decisions “took real courage.”
Trust me, it took real courage to piss away millions of dollars and jobs while I took fat bonuses. Real tough work I tell ya
Didn’t the people working on it got paid either way?
For the projects that completed yea they got their money during the production work. They won’t get their performance bonuses and residuals now though
No the CEO personally murdered them
Does Zaslav wake up every morning thinking “hmm, what’s the most tone-deaf thing I could possibly say to piss off the largest amount of people?”
Are we still pretending that Batgirl wasn’t going to be another superhero movie dumpster fire?
What a maroon. What an ignoranimous.
lol, we barely go to the movies but I would have gotten off my ass for Wile E Coyote. They fucked up again 😂
This is to be expected. When there was a ton of free money, studios could go nuts. They got greedy with the idea that every studio should have its own streaming service so they could earn more profits than by just licensing their content to Netflix. They also realized that they needed an exclusive collection to draw people in and keep them subscribed. In order to make that work, even in the free money environment, they grossly underpaid the talent and tech workers who were actually creating the content. By doing so, they could just throw it all against the wall to see what sticks. We did get some very good shows out of it, but also a lot of crap got made.
I think we’re going to see a lot of cancellations and a reduction in new shows, while the studios look to do spin offs or extended series. I also think that they’re going to re-evaluate the profitability of licensing versus owning the whole stack.
I call BS.
