Is there still hope for the Wizarding World?
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT After the failure of Fantastic Beasts, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zazlav is speaking out about the viability of the Harry Potter franchise. Over the course of eight movies, the Harry Potter films brought in $7.7 billion at the box office alone.
While speaking at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia and Technology Conference, Zazlav explained that ending the Harry Potter franchise was a misstep. The Wrap reports that Zazlav still values the IP and sees it as a useful tool for propelling Warner Bros. back to success. He sees the upcoming HBO adaptation as an excellent strategy. Additionally, he hopes to create an in-depth plan for the DC Universe and to develop more Lord of the Rings movies without diluting the content.
One of the other real strengths of Warner Bros. is we talk about the great IP that Warner Bros. owns. But, for us, the challenge is that our content, our great IP — 'Harry Potter', DC, 'Lord of the Rings' — that content has been underused. We haven’t done anything with ‘Harry Potter’ for more than a decade. We haven’t done anything with ‘Lord of the Rings.
