WB is now hitting its worst slump in 28 years!
Studio has not had any $100M+ grossers at domestic #boxoffice in ONE FULL YEAR now. (not counting pandemic 2020)
Last time WB suffered this was in 1997-98! One full year of sub-$100M films between Contact (JULY 97) and Lethal Weapon 4 (JULY 98).
Last film to join century club was Conjuring 4 opening one year ago this wknd, now clear Practical Magic 2 won't reach that level.
Big turnaround from last yr when they had seven $100M hits within 6 months!!
