    I mean… Imagine how terrible it’s gotta be for the doofuses at WB to shelf this, considering the utter garbage they’ve been putting out since forever.

      WB doesn’t give two fucks about the quality of their content, they just want to be able to make cheap fucking money. Toys, theaters, or tax write-offs. If it’s not gonna end up making bookoos of cash in theaters or off the toy shelf, they have no problem dumping bathtubs, babies n’ all.

      Discovery-Warner/HBO/wtf-they-are-now will gladly tell artists to get fucked for a tax write-off. Based on how much beloved shit they’ve been using to feed the flames of their eternal dumpster-fire, I’m pretty sure that their C-suite considers shitting on artists a job benefit.

      They aren’t shelving it. From what I understand, they are completely deleting it from existence order to get the full write-off.

        Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard, but how expensive can a goddamn Wile E. Coyote movie be?

        It just seems a little odd to me that this is the big “public” write-off, considering some of the trash they’ve put out that didn’t break even.

          They are taking a $70+ mil write-off. Rumors say that Netflix offered $40million but the write off is more attractive.

          As someone else commented, if WB got a $40mill offer, they should only be allowed to take a $30mill write off.
