Universal could buy Warner Discovery, due to the latter’s financial problems, in the same way that Disney bought FOX years ago.
These are not good times for Warner Bros. despite the brutal success of Barbie this summer. The company became Warner Discovery when Warner Bros. and Discovery merged, trying to become one of the great giants of streaming and commercial theaters. The company has suffered a series of major commercial setbacks, led by DC Studios releases, which have been considerable box office failures throughout the year. DC Studios is currently in charge of James Gunn and Peter Safran, who decided to relaunch the studio and put aside everything previously created, especially after Black Adam, where the return of Henry Cavill as Superman was announced. did not reach the expected box office.
Curiously, that film was DC’s biggest box office success in a year, with almost 400 million dollars collected worldwide, while The Flash barely reached 270 million, Blue Beetle 129 million and the sequel to Shazam, 133 million . Without generating profits, the change was worse, and that situation is weighing down the company, which sees how the big Christmas premiere, Aquaman 2, could shipwreck like the previous ones, which would be devastating for DC and Warner Discovery. even without the universe that Gunn and Safran plan has actually been presented. Therefore, after the reports that spoke of the many problems during the filming of Aquaman 2, and the feared failure of the film, Variety delved into the subject and stated that the company could be bought soon.
These reports come from Warner Discovery employees, collected by the media, who assured that the sale of the company could occur shortly. What’s more, everyone pointed to the sale to a rival studio such as Universal. The general idea is that said purchase will happen in the next two years, although it is all rumors. In 2019, Walt Disney Studios bought 20th Century Fox in a similar move, so the situation is not new and has been seen before. But taking into account that Warner Discovery owns DC Studios and HBO, among others, it would be necessary to consider whether, if the sale situation occurs, it will not negatively affect the projects already underway at the studio, not only in DC, but in successful series like The last of us or The House of the Dragon.
