TV Streaming Discussion: HBO MAX UPDATE: WTF is Going on? Merger with PARAMOUNT?!
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
I mean Netflix DID do his last project kinda dirty..
But I wonder if I would be willing to forgo his own empire to join DC?
Imagine him bringing the Authority to life?
But I thought HBO MAX aint DOING those type of projects anymore?
A lot of those DC properties are NOT big screen ready.

Didn't care at first, but sis deserved that shot.
She deserves a shot with a good movie. Putting out something you know isn't up to standard doesn't help anyone. It would in fact hurt her career. Maybe she can reprise the role in some other flick.

In a new report from The Wrap, Warner Bros. Discovery is being sued by Illinois-based shareholder Collinsville Police Pension Board in a class-action lawsuit for allegedly misleading shareholders about the number of subscribers for HBO Max. The lawsuit states that during the merger of Warner Bros. and Discovery, they “overstated the number of subscribers to HBO Max by as many as 10 million subscribers, by including as subscribers AT&T customers who had received bundled access to HBO Max, but had not signed onto the service.” It names Warner Bros. Discovery, CEO David Zaslav, and CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels as defendants and could potentially have “hundreds of thousands” of plaintiffs. They are seeking a jury trial for monetary damages and alleging three independent Securities and Exchange Commission violations. Discovery shares were initially valued at $24.78 in April of this year while the current value of the WBD stock is now valued at $11.32. Vulture has reached out to Warner Bros. Discovery for comment.

More Layoffs and Restructuring Hit Cartoon Network and Warner Bros.

Cartoon Network Studios, the animation house that created such classics as The Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, Adventure Time, and Over the Garden Wall, is getting squeezed, along with the rest of Warner Bros. Discovery. On Tuesday, October 11, Warner Bros. TV Group chairman Channing Dungey sent a very dungy memo to employees, announcing 82 layoffs and that 43 vacant positions will not be filled. This elimination of 125 jobs amounts to a 26% reduction in the company’s scripted, unscripted, and animation divisions. The memo also announces the cancelation of incubator programs for new original talent, including Stage 13, the Warner Bros. Writers’ Workshop, and the Warner Bros. Directors’ Workshop.
On the animation front, the memo states that WB is “implementing a new streamlined structure in which the development and main production teams will now work across both Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios.” After the Warner Bros. Discovery merger, WB Animation head Sam Register also assumed control over CN Studios. For decades, the studio held a reputation for developing original works from emerging talents. The new structure means more resources will be split between the studios (teams like casting, artist relations, and legal already were). WB Animation will continue to focus on wringing endless value and reboots from existing, nostalgic IP, while CN Studios’ will produce continue to produce original cartoons for CN, Adult Swim, and HBO Max. In May 2022, Register told Vulture that “Having a suite of studios allows us to have a different strategy when we talk to talent: ‘Do you love Scooby-Doo? Do you love Looney Tunes? You can do that. Do you have your own original idea? Well, we have a studio for that, too.’”
Earlier in the year, Register expressed a commitment to developing new pilots through the Cartoon Cartoons anthology shorts program. Upcoming original projects include Unicorn: Warriors Eternal and Invincible Fight Girl. Since president and CEO David Zaslav assumed control of the megamerged Warner Bros. Discovery, he has canceled a number of animated projects, including CN Studios projects like Driftwood, and pulled CN Studios titles including Infinity Train and Summer Camp Island from streaming on HBO Max. We’ll take it all back if you announce a 200-episode order for more Apple & Onion.

It’s not just bad marketing or a lack of internal support. As seen at Warner Bros. Discovery, media mergers can influence entertainment-industry diversity—and not in a good way.
