Theatrical comedies are basically a thing of the past so this movie seemed like a diamond in the rough. It had all the makings of a hit with a stacked cast, original plot, and established IP. Its probably the biggest blunder WB has made in a series of heartless business moves. The fact that they had multiple offers to buy the film and the still chose to shelf it just feels like they would rather die on the tax write-off hill than chance their competitors having a hit and looking like total fools.
They're ironically creating more hype around this movie by giving audiences blue balls. I'm hoping someone leaks it, but I'm sure its on tight lockdown

In a world where Trolls movies exist, tickets to this flick wouldโve sold like hotcakes.

Basically they're having their cake and eating it. I feel like they should be legally obligated to sell the movie if they get offers that are valued higher than the potential tax write-offs. Shelving it just screws so many people who worked on the movie, genuinely evil shit. I guess there's also the potential that this is all just a marketing scheme where they will eventually release it after enough public outcry. David Zaslav is at WB Discovery to be their executive fall guy. He's there to make cuts left and right and get the company in a good financial position, which sucks the art and passion out of their programming in lieu of mass-produced garbage. They'll likely fire him in a couple years with a nice compensation package to thank him for taking all the heat with his unpopular choices.

They're a corporation. There are no real rules that they can't buy themselves out of. They'll double-dip after enough hype is generated

The tax write-off shouldn't even be a fucking thing. Do small business owners get to receive all of their money back after taking a chance on a new start-up if things don't work out?

Everything indeed sucks ass now. I will probably use this thread to rail against contemporary life, and will make a good faith effort to avoid takes like โHR wonโt let me be casually racist anymore.โ
The woods porn thread got me thinking about a lot of stuff.

I keep seeing the word 'enshittification' popping up and it's hard not to get carried away thinking it has infused everything. All these changes are no big deal in themselves, but in the aggregate pile up and have been subtly depressing me. I can't understand why there is such a drive to degrade things instead of even just keeping things as-is when they are working fine.

Also as far as movies go people need to seriously consider moving on from the USA. All of the major studios are now owned by corporations who are all underwater in debt so theyโre leaning entirely on KNOWN IP, franchises, and legacquels, and every 1/10 A24 movie is actually good.
