Warner Bros. is performing quite well at the domestic box office after the studio managed to earn $1 billion. What makes this achievement so interesting is because Warner Bros. has been doing this every year for 15-years.
From what we've come to understand, Warner Bros. is the only movie studio to earn $1 billion every year for the last 15-years. This is a great achievement, and we expect it to continue and even venture into the $2 billion region with the new DC Cinematic Universe films beginning in 2016.
The likes of Mad Max: Fury Road, American Sniper, Get Hard, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies and San Andreas helped the studio continue to make history. The year is not yet over, so there could be a chance for Warner Bros. to reach $2 billion, though it is unlikely due to Star Wars and other blockbuster epics coming out later in the year.
President of Domestic Distribution at Warner Bros., Dan Fellman, stated that the studio is proud of the achievement and is looking forward to what it can achieve before the year comes to a close.
"We are all very proud of this record-breaking achievement. With a wide range of exciting films upcoming, we look forward to building on this number over the rest of the year."
President of Creative Development, Greg Silverman, had the following to say;
"Hitting a billion dollars in the first six months of the year is an amazing accomplishment, which we share with our partners and all the artists in the Warner Bros. family who bring their considerable talents to our films."
Not only did Warner Bros. earned $1 billion every year for 15-years, it is the fastest studio to earn that amount. This year, the company did so in the first six months, and we are guessing there's a good chance for it to hit that mark earlier in 2016.
That would be the year Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hit theaters, along with Suicide Squad. We're not certain what else the studio has planned for 2016, but if they are any good, things could heat up very quickly.
