If there was one thing that the turbulent week at Warner Bros. Discovery displayed, it’s just how quickly conventional wisdom can change from one regime to the next, when each is trying to gin up t…

There are now question marks over other Bad Robot projects at the streamer.

Elsewhere, Abrams and Bad Robot has a number of projects, all produced in association with Warner Bros. Television, set up at other networks and streamers. A series based on Scott Turow’s bookwith David E. Kelley, which was previously turned into a feature film with Harrison Ford, received a series order at Apple TV+ in February, and a live-action series based on Speed Racer was also handed an order earlier this spring by the tech giant.

Zaslav, speaking on WBD’s earnings call on Thursday, said “quality is what matters” and in relation to HBO Max, said its strategy is to “embrace and support and then drive [its] incredible success.”if you want quality, sometimes there is no greater virtue than patience.

were box office disappointments — respectively grossing $169.6M WW and $168.6M WW — but that was in large part due to the pandemic and Jason Kilar’s day-and-date HBO Max plan.was released at a time when a majority of cinemas were closed in Christmas 2020.

Whoever wrote this article is a real clown 🤡 🤡

How much did Walter Hamada pay you to write this article?

To the one that wrote this Google aint difficult if You can't do your job

Ahhh yes... Zaslav is getting rid of all inept and incompetent execs and producers at his new company... A new kind of smart is born with these paid journalists smh 🤦

Fire Hamada and cancel all his films

Hamada is finished 🤣🤣

“Leave Walter Hamada alone…” is that a purposeful Britney call back or do your editors lack that awareness? Clearly Hamada is on his way out when Zaslov is making it clear DC has not been well managed at WB.

He won't. Come on now. RestoreTheSnyderVerse ReleaseTheAyerCut

1/2 Hey do you not deal with facts (obviously not b/c the news you put out a/b Cavill showing up at SDCC blew up in your face)? This article is a load of babble. warnerbros paid too much attention to you bloggers w/ your Marvel bias. So much so it clouded…

Zaslav is brilliant business man obviously , and Hamada is gone ! mOvE oN !!

wbd

The section about Walter Hamada is widely in accurate and that is an understatement.

Another unbiased article lol...

you actually are a deadline after sucking hamada balls. You might even have receding hairline and you’ll be farting rainbows out of your butts for not reporting facts and always manipulating except the known facts what else do you even have. Nothing.

abrams got $250M to unleash live action constantine dark in 2019 & to date there hasnt been a concept art released. fire his ass like emmerich. hamada too. they are bleeding shareholders $

This article is an actual joke. Journalism at its worst

Youre disgusting for trying to protect hamada, my dude literally ruined DC, he doesnt know what hes doing. You suck deadline

Most stupid post. Already lost investment with the deal with JJ and no films made. Where is the dark universe at DC he was going to make? Hamada lost a ton of money for wb too. He holds the record of consecutive 3 DC flop movies BOP, WW84, TSS under his presidentship.

Delete.

Anything that remains under development also implies that it can be axed considering its been greenlit with a bad concept and quality. Hamada, Emmerich and johns are the reason dc is in the place it is rn

Hamada has hit a brick wall and that wall is called Zaslav and now he is trying to buy an extended 'deadline' 🤷

🤡's RestoreTheSnyderVerse

Joker and aquaman is from Hamada ? ha ha ha ha .. TSS is a flop lol. Where is Whedon's Justice League 2017 in this article? ha ha ha lies and more lies..

How should he deal with Hamada? Easily, fire him.

That’s a no for me.

under hamada they lost alots of money, BoP, TSS, WW2, they should replace him for sure.

So what's Changed

Keep trying.

Good Lord which one of you is sleeping with Walter Hamada?! Your recommendation could not be more diametrically opposed to the truth. Also the 2017 'disappointing failure' version of JL shouldn't have been attributed to Zack Snyder here. I think the 3 bylined writers know that.

Hamada is a joke I'll tell you that much

What I'll say is, Even though JJ Abrams is a great creative and producer, he actually took 250 million from WB to produce content. But he hasn't produced anything till now. The deal took place in 2019 and nothing from his company till now. That does mean deal was mismanaged.

Hamada must apologize and go.

Hamada

What is JJ Abrams doing? Where is Justice League Dark, Zattana?

Justice League 2017 was not Zack's film.....

I love watching this death rattle of WB access journalism.

Another Hamada's L's

“Might” - you don’t know shit

Yeah, Justice League is dark and dour alright, but not because of Snyder, but because of execs chasing their bonuses and letting a fill in director be an asshole and releasing this dreck to the general public..

credit to this article is 3 Person

Todd Philips himself said Hamada tried to kill joker and knowing he couldn't he sold a big chunk of it. That billion wasn't a profit net for Warner, he shouldn't be promoting it as a win

FUERA HAMADA!!!

What else can we expect from this people? They’re all the same.

Im guessing a lot of these comments are from snyder fans coming to his “rescue” again

Why Why would WBD would work with Hamada after what he and Toby did to DC they ruin every thing !! So stop make him good, he’s not!!

Hahahah how much did they pay you?

Zaslav changed all DC theatrical release dates, canceled projects, is looking for a 'Kevin Feige', said the DCEU needs to change, etc. *Also Zaslav: 'You're doing a great job Walter, don't go!'

why oh why do Journalist cant Journalism? Only Biasness? Paid pamperNess of the Paid kind?

Journalism is a dying profession.

For a big Hollywood trade, this article is a complete disgrace....zero journalistic integrity....Be better and stop spreading lies! SMH

Hey Deadedline, Hamada was poor at his job. Deal with it! Oh yeah disgracerandolph blows!

FireWalterHamada

The same Vibe from that Britney meme

“DC’s Walter Hamada”

Do you sleep at knowing the next day your gone write a horrible article 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

peak journalism

I'd really like to hear what Todd Philips thinks about Hamada.

Stop with the lies and RestoreTheSnyderVerse

Abrams is a brilliant producer. Zaslav just needs to make him work harder. Also, Zaslav should atay Hamada as the head of DC. He is a great guy and a good producer who has greatly improved the DC brand since 2018

WB must be to bring Nolan back. I think that Zaslav and Horn have good chances for this.

“Nothing Is Safe”: Inside Batgirl’s Shocking Demise at Warner Bros.“It’s a real warning sign for anyone considering getting involved,” one senior creative told The Telegraph. “Who’d want to work with a studio that does this?” The Muslim directors wanted a head to toe covered Allah approved “Hero” for their vision. They picked a curveless “non-traditional” actress for the role. Nothing is safe. Indeed, a tragedy. One might look at the suffering of others for perspective.

'Batgirl' directors say they are 'saddened and shocked' after Warner Bros. shelves their movieThe directors of the superhero film 'Batgirl' say they are 'saddened and shocked' that Warner Bros. will shelve their movie instead of releasing it in theaters or distributing it on HBO Max. If it's so bad with the audience, probably best it doesn't hit the air. There's so many bs shows out right now. To shelve a movie, with so much invested; it must have been terrible. As in, unrecoverable. Probably too woke
