But didn’t the others just sign a thousand opposed letters to not make it happen
Thats nice of him. Cool. Anyways, stop the merger
As they say in A Song of Ice and Fire, “Words are wind…”
Rare W for him
It’s starting today so we’ll see how the next ones go in that regard.
He has a history of lying though so this is meaningless
very cool, hope to see a return to mid-budget films
Couldn’t even give the ATLA movie a theatrical release when they don’t even have a single animated film on their slate.
The mixed reactions when he showed up on stage says it all.
WB, at their presentation, stated they plan on releasing 18 films in 2027. Paramount is currently slated to release 12 films. Basically, he’s arrived at this number by looking at the current release dates and won’t do anything to stop these films from coming out except fire thousands of people.
BS
Cool. We still don’t believe you. Testify before Congress, and *maybe* that changes.
Kill this stupid deal.
Make the theatrical window atleast 60 days.
*We’ll be watching you, motherfucker*
I’m sure they would put big movies in a 45-day release window but it rings hollow when the last 2 Paramount movies both had a ~35 day window
Bro couldn’t even put the new Airbender movie in theaters. Absolute clown shit.
Bullshit. No one should trust a word he says.
“30 films per year”
Then release the avatar movie and get ray Gunn in theatres
Longer theatrical windows are good if the film is still making money. Not so much if a film isn’t bringing anyone in.
What really needs to happen is a long buffer between theatrical release and digital release. A 90 day buffer at the very least.
Even if they do do 30 movies a year initially, that’ll only last like one or two years (largely through using projects already in the works at WB) at which point they’ll claim it isn’t sustainable once it comes time to actually commit money as opposed to coasting on stuff already done by previous regimes.
It doesn’t matter how much he says it, if you post it here people are going to not believe it because the bias is too strong in this sub
Not with billions in budget cuts and thousand+ layoffs.
Ruffalo is right. Don’t trust anything billionaires say.
The only way he could pull that off is if he owned WB in name only and left them alone and separate from Paramount. He would need to focus solely on Paranount and let WB make their movies without butting in.
He couldnt even keep Scream 7 on a 45 window lol.
Surprised he didn’t get booed
