WBD CEO David Zaslav says the company is going to have 'a real focus' on franchises like Superman and HarryPotter:
The hierarchy of power at Warner Bros. Discovery has changed, and CEO David Zaslav is committed to what's powering the company: franchises. In April, Discovery completed its acquisition of WarnerMedia from AT&T to form Warner Bros. Discovery, doing away with the regime that decided to release the studio's entire 2021 slate day-and-date in theaters and streaming on HBO Max.
The last solo Superman movie was Zack Snyder's Man of Steel in 2013, which launched the DC Extended Universe — recently renamed the DCU — with Henry Cavill's Superman. 2011's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 concluded the Harry Potter saga, which has continued with the Wizarding World franchise of the stalled Fantastic Beasts movies.
"Taking advantage of Sex and the City [with And Just Like That...]. Lord of the Rings — we still have the right to do Lord of the Rings movies," Zaslav noted."You focus on the big movies, the tentpoles that people are going to leave home, leave early from dinner to see." On producing straight-to-streaming movies or sending movies to streaming without waiting at least 45 days, Zaslav said,"We learned what doesn't work. And this is what doesn't work for us based on everything that we've seen: direct-to-streaming movies. Or spending a billion dollars or collapsing a motion picture window into a streaming service."
