Warner Bros Discovery Reports Lower Q2 Revenue Amid Weak Box Office and Ad Sales
Warner Bros Discovery reported second-quarter revenue below expectations due to weak box-office performance and a 22% drop in advertising sales, partly from the absence of NBA broadcasts. Studio revenue fell 39%, with recent releases underperforming compared to last year. The company anticipates stronger results in the latter half of the year with upcoming films like "Digger" and "Dune: Part Three." The UK Competition and Markets Authority approved Warner's $110 billion merger with Paramount, though legal challenges continue in the US, delaying completion until at least mid-2027.
