On March 30, 2025, Report Bloomberg Discovery David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. David Zaglav, interviewed potential replacements for thrilled production directors Michael de Luka and Pamela Abdi. The time was iousubopite, since De Luka and Abdi were a) preparing to show their outcoming production plate in Cinecon, the annual cinema gathering of cinema in Las Vegas, and b) were preparing to publish the first blockbuster of the year in the Studio of Minecraft. The WB also had the buzzing "sinners" of Ryan Kogller on the road. And while it was not a predetermined cut, it seems to be stupid to fire the duo responsible for winning a highly competitive war for bidding, which can help the studio continue to correct his reputation for the film-friendly mood after losing his Nolan,

Obviously, colder heads were prevalent and it was good to do because they would look, at best, terribly uncomfortable for the SB to be within the massive victory of the box office, while the executive duo orchestrated, or took a gig or were the hottest free agents in the execution market. Just look at this race: "Movie of Minecraft", "Sinners", "Final Destination Blood Lines", "F1: Movie", "Superman", and now, with an impressive global opening (reinforced with rave reviews and a great word from the A-Kinora Movie),),),),), Instant Horror Classic of Zack Creger.

It is a wild change of happiness for De Luka and Abdi, who took heat for two box bombs, they didn't even take the green lights in early April: Mickey 17 by Bong Oonun Ho (which received the advantage seven months before joining the company) and Barry Levinzen (Alto Levenz " Quickly began in production from Dastrav Soon after Warner Bros. was approved. However, a rival study and possibly Zaslav himself hit every top Hollywood Journal in the city, eager to keep De Luka and Abdi responsible for the overall fights of the film industry. These "touches" illuminated the original films with massive budgets, which felt particularly irresponsible as penny punches Shelves have finished films like Butger and "Coyote vs. ACME" to help tighten red ink.

How do you like it now, Hollywood?

The Retrospective Designation indicated, De Luka and Abdi use the studio studio awards in ideal fashion. They hired a superb film talent, gave them space to realize their visions and hit the Jackpot with film and critics. And this was predictable for a certain degree. I know that the reporters who led stories with the dark and the swell have better sources than me, so they had to know that "sinners" and "weapons" set up impressive test numbers for the test. Obviously, you still have to sell the damn things, but Warner Bros. did a masterful job Early getting "weapons" on people's radarAnd the bait of the hook with the worst nightmare of every parent: the inexplicable disappearance of a child. I thought the "sinners" marketing campaign felt a tad in comparison (especially during the NFAA and women's basketball tournaments, along with the NBA playoffs), but I may not have paid enough attention.

I do Know that when "sinners" became confirmed domestic box office, diversity tried to suggest that the heat was still on De Luka and Abdi because the horror film with Rogler's rating cost $ 90 million, and so it was not profitable. Given the views and the ecstatic word on the film's mouth, it was still suspicious of the trade output to suggest that the film could remain profitability. As Ben Stiller wrote on X/Twitter At that time: "In which universe opens $ 60 million for an original study film order of this title?"

The Industry Ill-will for de luca and abdy has died down the last few Months, but rest assured that the Risk-Averse Execs Desperate for More Thorough Control of the Movies Make (Ai is Thorough) and Their Promotion-Cratting Minions and Entertainment Reporters will go ham on de luca and abdy iF Paul Thomas Anderson's "one battle after another" (which, allegedly, cost somewhere between $ 130 million and $ 175 million) stimulates as PTA movies tend. (Fingers crossed it is a masterpiece and his first blockbuster.) They will also start sounding the alarm again The punk -rock -Horor of Maggie Gilenhal, "The Bride!" (Based on the "Frankenstein Bride" by Jameseims Keith), an insult to the decency of the film as executions overturned the nervous vision of a first-class actor, who is unchanged at the $ 80m budget. It is a non -permanent business activity, and everyone in the world today has a memory of fishermen nowadays.

If I were a wicked ambitious type of Sammy Glik or widespread and ridiculous Media CEO in search of someone to take the blame for my shocking inadequacy (forcing my company's Irregular Shareholders to symbolically vote for my $ 52 million payment package), maybe this We set the two faster and put both risks) to both faster the two faster abdia and to double and set the green lights, though I probably knew they had many side strokes. Of course, De Luka and Abdi have phones, and can bend a few ears of show business this week if they are lowered for a lap for a win. Or maybe they will simply be pleased to continue doing what they did: hiring excellent directors to move the media forward. Because if there is a need to have hope, a healthy future for the American film industry, it will be in the creation of original films and studio -tiles made with personal blooming. Movie buffets should be eradicated for de Luke and Abdi.
