It's been a 10 year show of the utmost incompetence. Not one single movie that wasn't rife with controversy or marred by it's reception. Just a decade of pure failure. That's not even easy to accomplish. They pissed off God.
Yes and? The profits were rising with each movie where Snyder was involved (except when they fricked him over with Whedon), but once the left the profits were also dropping.
yes, as I said... the profits were rising with each movie. >Man of Steel (2013, directed by Snyder) - $42.7m >BvS (2016, directed by Snyder) - $105.7m >Aquaman (2018, produced by Snyder) - $260.5m
>rides the wave of hype with more well known characters
yes. I was right.
How was WW84???
No other company could have asked for a better set up. DC had all the characters with actual name recognition
Marvel got people into comic book universe shit despite being C tier characters and medicore films
SNYDER still managed to frick up an easy franchise. MoS underperformed so much that they need batman in the next one
No. Giving actual names would ruin the fun, but those two ferret wranglers are figurative street trash in a literal world of feces, rocketed to earth on a vote of "who do we hate the most from their shitty home planet.
>500m
uh isn't that pretty cheap? thats the budget of 2 shit animated movies. can we setup a gofundme so Cinemaphile gets the rights to something cool?
Publishing assets aren't the whole company nor rights.
If that music is directly attached to movies and shows, then wew. I hope they're hedging their bets that people won't care when all those things get future re-releases that cut out the songs for stock music.

My brother in Christ they have major issues. The Spider-Man merch and SW Merch isn’t selling
Anti monopoly laws wouldn't let them.
Also disney's bleeding money and there's a fair chance they might be selling star wars soon (new cope just dropped fyi).
They don't have the money/resources to buy wb
>Warner Bros. Discovery is negotiating to sell around half of the storied Warner studio’s film and TV music-publishing assets for approximately $500 million, three sources confirm to Variety. The news was first reported by Hits.
>While it is unclear exactly which assets are on the table, one source says that the rights to “slightly less than half” of the catalog, with a price of around $500 million, are likely to go to a major label, with Sony said to be in the lead. The catalog is believed to include music from such films as “Purple Rain,” “Evita,” “Sweeney Todd,” “Rent,” several “Batman” films and many more titles, as well as songs included in iconic films such as “As Time Goes By” from “Casablanca” — iconic titles to be sure, but again, it is unclear exactly which rights are in play. Top attorney Allen Grubman is said to be overseeing the deal for Warner Discovery CEO David Zaslav.
How the frick will this work?
For example if Sony buys it WBD would need to license the Batman music from Sony in a potential Batman movie aiming for nostalgia.

This is about the MUSIC licenses, not their movies, tv shows, and games, dummy.
>This is about the MUSIC licenses, not their movies, tv shows, and games, dummy.
So they strip the music from their movies and are selling said music? If they rerelease the movies they need the buyer’s permission by paying them whatever they ask for. Zaslav’s an idiot for this
lmao >piss off your most talented directors >make the worst imaginable decision at every turn >get surprised when you go bankrupt
And I was starting to think they had unlimited money after stomaching so many flops in a row until The Flash.
I can't imagine how bad their situation will be after Blue Beetle flops, nevermind Aquaman 2 which is apparently unwatchable
>t. seething streetshitter
I realized Snyder was moronic when he started bragging that Nolan's Dark Knight Rises wasn't edgy and that to be edgy Batman needed to be raped in prison.
That and thinking in a Extended Universe that he needed to kill Dick Grayson in Batman's backstory.
>when he started bragging that Nolan's Dark Knight Rises wasn't edgy and that to be edgy Batman needed to be raped in prison.
He wasn't bragging and he was defending Batman Begins. Critics asked him if he thought movies like Batman Begins, described by the critic as dark and gritty, were going to be the norm.
He defended Batman Begins saying that BB wasn't dark nor that gritty, it was grounded and cool. If the movie had been truly dark Bruce Wayne as a pretty boy would have been raped in that Chinese prison, not be called to train kung-fu with ninjas.
Why even go as far as distorting age old interviews done in jest? What's the agenda here?
That's not what he said, homosexual. He said that in HIS version of Gotham batman could/would get raped because that's the level of edge that he's going for. Cope.

He added to it saying that Watchmen, the movie he was making at the time, could be described as the first truly dark and gritty superhero film, since it actual death with heavy themes such as rape, impotence, and so on.
Jesus Christ all they had to do was filter Synder and bring Cavill back and give him his own movie alongside justice league 2 and everything would have been gravy...these fricks fricked up so bad with so many fricking dogshit films nobody cared about, how come that b***h prostitute flat pancake bawd Margaret Robbie isn't taking more of the blame? How many Fricking films did they give you that overrated shit? Fricking disgusting
What would this even mean?
If they sell off the music licensing rights would they have to pay whoever buys them if they wanted to release a movie that had sold music on it on Blu-ray or something?
Or is this just for the rights to use the music outside of the movies they are from? Like if you wanted to release the soundtrack on vinyl or include one of the songs in a new movie?
>Or is this just for the rights to use the music outside of the movies they are from
I think it’s this. I worked at Sea World as my first summer job and at one point I remember they were playing the Fury Road score on the speakers. It’s much easier to just buy epic scores
jesus what a mess of a company

>let’s hire Snyder
Hahahahhaha . Even Disney realized they needed to stop putting Star Wars out after Solo flopped
Snyder movies were successful tho.
He’s a hack whose on par with Michael Bay
okay zack
whatever you say.
Yes and? The profits were rising with each movie where Snyder was involved (except when they fricked him over with Whedon), but once the left the profits were also dropping.
lol no BvS didn't reach what the IPs was worth, fricking Aquaman made more money.
I still want a Battfleck BvS figure
yes, as I said... the profits were rising with each movie.
>Man of Steel (2013, directed by Snyder) - $42.7m
>BvS (2016, directed by Snyder) - $105.7m
>Aquaman (2018, produced by Snyder) - $260.5m
>every film Snyder was involved with made money
>pretty much every film post-Snyder loses money
Yeah, clearly he was the problem
It was pretty much Snyder's fault for starting the downfall
But his movies were the most successful of the DCEU
>ride the wave of MCU success with more well known characters
>kills off any chances of a franchise in 2 movies
>Wonder Woman did 800m
>Aquaman did 1b
Sure pal
It did homosexual.
If he killed the franchise after 2 movies then Wonder Woman and Aquaman would have flopped too.
>rides the wave of hype with more well known characters
yes. I was right.
How was WW84???

Snyder made better movies though
>Snyder left 7 years ago and schizos with derangement syndrome think he still runs the company
kek
At least WB fired Zack, you can burn multibillion $ Disney IPs to hell and back and still keep your job
It was wokeness, diversity and following M-SHE-U that killed WB. morons could easily make a bank when Marvel was struggling.
It's funny because the two best writers alive right now work for WB indirectly and no one has any idea who they are.
Akiva Goldsman and David S. Goyer?
No. Giving actual names would ruin the fun, but those two ferret wranglers are figurative street trash in a literal world of feces, rocketed to earth on a vote of "who do we hate the most from their shitty home planet.
>sell the entire company for 2x the cost of producing its most recent movie
How many layers of judaism did it take to come up with that number?
Publishing assets aren't the whole company nor rights.
They're only selling off their music collection. Misleading headline.
If that music is directly attached to movies and shows, then wew. I hope they're hedging their bets that people won't care when all those things get future re-releases that cut out the songs for stock music.
They're selling the publishing rights to the music from their films and TV shows, they're not selling any IPs or the film and TV rights themselves.
> Yes, I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, but i insist you listen to me!
Perhaps you should RTFA before joining the discussion?
>500m
uh isn't that pretty cheap? thats the budget of 2 shit animated movies. can we setup a gofundme so Cinemaphile gets the rights to something cool?
Selling music you ESL morons not the films or IPs.
They literally have two or more of everything because of the merger, when they only need one. Think about it critically for just a few seconds.
I call dips on Full Metal Jacket
They shouldn't have alienated the entire nation of India.
Mess with the poo, you do down the loo.
>The windfall from such a sale — coming at the top of a still-booming market for music catalogs — would help the company to pay down a $49.5 billion debt.

would it help pay down the debt though?
thanks israeli media me so muc smurter noa
>50b in debt
How?
It's over Warnerbros
does this mean Elon could buy Superman and Batman?
>tfw Disney buys them
Disney is almost in the same boat as WB is right now
More like Universal buys them out. Disney may need to sell something major soon since they only have 200 million left in liquidated form
Disney can still weather a few hits. I don't think people realize how much marvel and princess merch can prop them up.
They’ve already weathered a few, what’s upcoming for them is
>they need $9B minimum in liquid cash to buy Hulu off Comcast because some contract bullshit

Most of this shit is just counterfeited anyway
All those ariel dolls are gonna like hotcakes this christmas
They are already in debt and have to pay comcast for Hulu so unlikely.
>tfw all the turds put out by DC were made by sleeper disney directors so the company would go under and end up being bought for pennies
Anti monopoly laws wouldn't let them.
Also disney's bleeding money and there's a fair chance they might be selling star wars soon (new cope just dropped fyi).
They don't have the money/resources to buy wb
it's worth only 500 million?
Their music library, yes
They're not selling the company, just a few IP:s. Probably found a buyer and they're desperate for money.
Imagine being whoever at Discovery thought buying WB was a good idea
It's only music from film and TV

Stop it I need my doomposting fix
>DCEU is going down
you love to see it
Could Sony potentially buy WB? I know they tried with Fox for 50billion.
Spidey hanging out with Batman and Superman would be extremely kino.
Sony can't even buy a major studio except a dried up Bungie to compete against Microsoft.
To add insult to injury, Bungie is operated independently and publishes their own games. Their upcoming Marathon reboot will be on Xbox.
>selling film tv and music
What else would they do? Video games?
>Warner Bros Discovery is dissolving.
We did it bros. First round is on me.
BLOOD b***h BASTARD DC IS DOING BIG
FLASHPOINT MOVIE OF YEAR
How the frick will this work?
For example if Sony buys it WBD would need to license the Batman music from Sony in a potential Batman movie aiming for nostalgia.
Did Michael Keaton fricked up that hard?
No way they sell the Elfman theme. That's too useful for nostalgia bait. I'm guessing stuff like the Prince songs, or shit. Kiss from a Rose?
What a nightmare!
>if Sony buys it WBD
This is about the MUSIC licenses, not their movies, tv shows, and games, dummy.
Illiterate moron at work right here
They’re only selling 50% of their publishing.
That means they still have access to the music.
>This is about the MUSIC licenses, not their movies, tv shows, and games, dummy.
So they strip the music from their movies and are selling said music? If they rerelease the movies they need the buyer’s permission by paying them whatever they ask for. Zaslav’s an idiot for this
They really can’t decide to do right now and keep selling their stuff to another company. They don’t want to admit bad decisions yet keep making thwm
THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR SCREWING UP THE HOBBIT MOVIES YOU wienerSUCKERS!!!
This is just for their music assets. No big deal.
So Flash didn't change the timeline like he was supposed to?
Get woke
