Warner Bros. President Steps Down Amidst Major Shake Up — What's Going On?
It's been a strange year for Warner Bros. 2016 has been the studio's second-most-profitable year ever, with seven films breaking $100 million in the domestic box office. The contrast with last year — where only two reached that financial milestone — is remarkable. Yet, in spite of Warner's box office success, the reality is that not all of these movies were critical hits, to say the least. Now, with Greg Silverman (the President of Creative Development and Worldwide Production) stepping down, Warner Bros. appears to be changing the narrative.

"You're Fired!" Why Wonder Woman Has Lost Her Job As A United Nations Ambassador

The idea is to look for the best, not to criticize the worst.

Deadpool Co-Creator Rob Liefeld's Extreme Superhero Cinematic Universe Is on the Way!
If Deadpool proved anything, it was that comic book movies can be a lot more experimental than studios had thought.
