How Warner Bros. messed up their deal with Aquaman and TheConjuring director James Wan
Things have not been going great for Warner Bros. Discovery in recent months. In April, Discovery bought up Warner Bros. from AT&T, a purchase that left the resulting company tens of billions of dollars in debt. Since then, executives have gone on a cost-cutting spree that has hurt their relationship with Hollywood creatives as well as the audience, who have felt disappointed and betrayed by the radical moves the company has made.
"Atomic Monster previously had a deal at Warners, where Wan is in postproduction on Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," the report reads, in part."His deal ran out in the spring and the studio made no overtures to keep him." Wan's Aquaman was also the highest-grossing film in DC's shared superhero universe, bringing in over $1 billion. Besides Joker, Aquaman is the only DC movie to manage that feat since The Dark Knight Rises.
