Warner Bros History

 Warner Brothers started in 1903. They originally acquired theatres and then moved into the film industry. They started producing their films in 1917 and moved their headquarters to Hollywood. They then created Warner Brothers Pictures in 1923. The founders of Warner Brothers are Harry Warner, Sam Warner, Jack Warner and Albert Warner. Warner Brothers also own the television company Warner Bros, animation Cartoon Network, Dc Comics and publishing arm Warner Bros. This has helped the studio massively as it provides several smaller incomes that are consistent, where as the films they produce can either sell big or not at all. Warner Bros is now owned by Warner Media, as they renamed the company in 1990 and kept several other branches of the conglomerate such as Warner Studios, Cinemax etc… Warner Bros best Blockbusters are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (part 2, 2011), The dark knight rises (2012), The Hobbit an unexpected journey (2012), Aquaman (2018), Joker (2019). Harry Potter made $1,335,157,491. Aquaman made $1,143,966,520. The Dark Knight made $1,082,228,107. These films had budgets of $250 million, $200 million and $250 million. Warner Bros typically re-hire their actors and directors when shooting prequels or sequels of films they have already stared in/ made. This is because it helps keep the same audience as well as the quality and style of acting they want the story line to keep. Currently, Warner Brothers have many films be recorded and produced for 2021 including: The Matrix 4, Dune, Godzilla vs. King Kong, Black Adam and more… The advantage of a big Conglomerate such as Warner Brothers is their almost endless budget and resources on any film/ television show they want to create. Not only do they have huge budgets, but get their editing and camera equipment at no extra cost as they own their own staff and equipment. This lets them monitor what is going on and what they want to do with the thing in production, having the ability to alter anything at any time during production.
