Theoretically it would make money by getting more people to subscribe to HBO Max. And since I absolutely completely believe that was never going to happen (at least not in significant numbers), you could argue they were right to can it. That said, I think the upcoming Blue Beetle movie was also originally created to be for HBO Max as well and at some point they just said "screw it, throw it in theaters", so they probably could've done the same for Batgirl and probably been better off for it. Also, unlike Disney and – to a limited extent – Amazon, WB have no problem giving physical releases to their streaming content. Granted, the physical media market is in the shitter these days, but that would have been another source of income.

Wasnt Batgirl an HBO Max film? So it wouldnt have made them money either technically. Not agreeing with the write off. Bad practice that pisses off fans and creatives.

Yeah the idea was the drive sign ups but its hard to quantify that. But I bet the amount of people that have cancelled Max (plus the bad PR and hurt feelings) have made whatever the write off was not worth it. And I agree that Batgirl could have been a mid budget at least mildly profitable theatrical film. And it might have helped Flash a bit if there was another Keaton Batman film coming out later this year. Make the audience not dismiss it as irrelevant so easily. But Zaslav only wants billion dollar blockbusters. So its fun watching it all fall apart for him.

Is this the Flash movie thread renamed? This thread, the Flash movie thread, and the merger thread are all treading the same ground.

I can't believe Ezra has basically got away with. Still got a career, hasn't become the pariah of Hollywood. Clearly shows zero remorse. The Vince McMahon of Hollywood.
