Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav defends removing a variety of shows from HBO Max. 'All those write offs… we didn’t take one show off a platform that is going to help us in any way.'
Despite criticism for the decisions, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav believes the company made the right decision removing a multitude of shows and movies from HBO Max. Ever since Warner Bros. and Discovery merged in April 2022, the massive new media company began to make major decisions surrounding content production across the board.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While Warner Bros. Discovery boasts a collective 92.1 million subscribers between HBO Max and Discovery+, recent lineup changes to HBO Max content have shaken up the platform's public perception in recent months. With a goal of cutting costs by $3.5 billion over the next three years, the company set to work by removing content from HBO Max and canceling productions that were well on their way to being complete.
Given the removal of many original titles and dozens of films and TV shows overall, Zaslav seems adamant in parsing down the number of shows and movies Warner Bros. Discovery devotes their money to. His insistence that less experimental content can coincide with quality projects could be a worrying statement for some, though, as risky moves in the past - like green lighting Game of Thrones and Westworld on HBO - have led to commercial and critical success.
