Skydance has uncovered “tens of millions” of dollars in luxury hospitality spending under the former Warner Bros. Discovery regime, including expenses for dining, travel and gifts, according to two sources:
• The former WBD regime spent in ways big and small — like stacks of receipts for sandwiches and green juices from the gourmet grocery store Erewhon
• The company expects to save “millions” by reducing spending on outside vendors, studio services and redundant marketing budgets
• One source even suggests press junkets will be revamped

Imagine waiting all summer to get some kind of revenge against a particular individual and the team itself and not only do you get blown out, you didn’t have a positive impact on the game at all. Just pain.
This is a hit piece, plain and simple.
Skydance wants to downplay every single project under the previous regime to prop up their hijacking of DC.
Saying that Superman had “no cultural impact”
Calling Lanterns viewership “decent” even though it was the third biggest Season 1 in HBO’s history.
Now they are saying Clayface won’t break even theatrically, even though it will make three times its budget and anyone who has been following box office knows it has turned a profit already.
These are all blatant lies, no one is falling for this bullshit and everyone sees what’s going on here.
Clayface made more money with half the budget of Street Fighter, which was overseen by Skydance Film Chiefs from top to bottom.
Go fool somewhere else 😭
Every James Gunn/DC Studios/Skydance article, to me, *SCREAMS* of “We wanted to fire these guys from the jump and so now we have to come up with excuses why”
I don’t understand why the tanking rules are in effect for picks that have already been traded. Maybe I’m missing something obvious about why they’re continuing to enforce that rule??
The Grizzlies have to just be supremely pissed at the tanking rule changes.
Jazz injuries + poor bench play would have had this years pick looking like a juicy top 5 potential pick.
And now the only way they get one is if the Wolves or Cavs implode and one of their picks jump the Jazzs to be top 5.
Just caught glaring typos in the last two articles I read from major publications and as a GREAT maker of typos I have empathy but we use to have copy desks and editors and care when words were misspelled and now there’s no money for any of that and it’s all downhill. Idiocracy.
@erickdaRed I hate this “all or nothing” mentality some GMs follow when it comes to rebuilding bc they never tell you what the results need to be & by when to make the number of years being absolutely irrelevant worth it. Thus they never actually “fail” their goal in their own eyes.
For context, this is season 5 since Utah let go of Donovan and Gobert and yeah they have some very promising young players but they’re 1-9 to start the season.
Fans are mad because you were some bench pieces and a center away from a real playoff run with assets at your disposal and threw it away.
The org sold people on a “step back” season and now Jeff Peterson is saying wait 3-5 years 😭
