Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League's "Disappointing" Release Led To A $200 Million Shortfall For Warner Bros.
Warner Bros. Discovery has once again commented on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's financial performance, which came in below expectations. CEO David Zaslav said during a briefing, as reported by VGC, that the poor performance of Kill the Justice League brought down the company's entire Studios division, which encompasses not just games but also the film and TV divisions.
Zaslav said Kill the Justice League had a "disappointing" release, going on to note that this latest quarter was always going to be a tough one due to comparisons to last year. That's because Hogwarts Legacy was released in February 2023 and went on to put up massive sales numbers. In fact, Hogwarts Legacy was the best-selling game overall in the US for the entirety of 2023, beating out even Call of Duty: MW3.
Warner Bros. Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels put things into perspective further, saying the difference in financial performance between Hogwarts Legacy and Kill the Justice League led to a "$200 million impact" to the company's bottom line during the quarter.
