While the 3 Billion he's trying to save is in actual cash, Warner Brothers has lost 20 Billion in stock value. While the monies are different, the fact that the company is losing money at the stock market is NOT A GOOD THING. It kinda reminds me of other companies like KB Toys, Toys R Us, and... who's playing Jamboree right now?
As I was saying: Lower stock value will mean more cuts... more cuts will mean less quality in products and less amount of products... Shazam! 2 and Aquaman 2 got delayed yet again... Zaslav has gone on a cancelation spree...
It's even raising red flags in the anti-trust area... with the whole avoiding monopolies thing. But one thing is now more certain than ever: Warner Brothers can't afford going intk projects wasting money for underperforming movies. I'm not talking about Snyder here. I mean in general. Their main problem is David Zaslav... the guy who turned The Learning Channel into the Honey Boo Boo network, turned Discovery into the Pee drinking naked survival bullshit... allegedly the Hub and Mythbusters were his moves too... Which meant that non-discovery related channels would have to join in on the Reality TV bullshit and The History Channel stopped talking Hitler and became Pawnstars, American Pickers, and...I'm not going to say Ancient Aliens but it's Ancient Aliens. Zaslav was the person who tipped the scales in favor of More Reality TV, less Educational programming. He also has an issue with Animation and Children's programming. Based on his record, it seems that Scripted programming is something he dislikes... WB is ALL about Scripted programming. So yeah... this isn't lookong that great for Warner.
