Warner Bros. Entertainment is a global leader in all forms of entertainment and their related businesses across all current and emerging media and platforms. The fully integrated, broad-based Studio is an entertainment industry leader -- from feature film, television and home entertainment production and worldwide distribution to DVD, digital distribution, animation, comic books, video games, product and brand licensing, international cinemas and broadcasting.

Warner Bros. Pictures had its most successful year ever in 2007 with an estimated $1.42 billion in domestic receipts and $2.24 billion in international box office – which represented both a company and industry record for overseas box office receipts. In 2008, it has released a number of box-office and critical hits, including “10,000 B.C.,” “Get Smart” and the worldwide phenomenon “The Dark Knight” which has made almost $1 billion at the global box office.

Following the consolidation of Time Warner’s filmed entertainment businesses in February, New Line Cinema began operating as a unit of Warner Bros. Entertainment. New Line’s 2008 releases included the box office hits “Sex and the City” and “Journey to the Center of the Earth.”

Warner Bros. Pictures' 2008 slate includes 10,000 BC, Get Smart, The Dark Knight, Body of Lies, Yes Man, Four Christmases and Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino.

In September 2007, the Harry Potter franchise became the most successful motion picture franchise of all time based on worldwide box office receipts. Five Harry Potter films have been released and the sixth, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, is slated for release in June 2009.

Warner Bros. Entertainment’s greatest strategic opportunity also represents one of its biggest challenges — the rapidly evolving environment of digital distribution. As the ways consumers access, purchase and enjoy Warner Bros.’ content continue to change, the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group, which includes the home video, online, wireless, video games and digital distribution businesses, is focused on protecting and maximizing the value of the Studio’s content, while fully harnessing the benefits of emerging technologies.

Because of the increased demand for original properties, Warner Bros. Entertainment produces various forms of content for multiple platforms: motion pictures, television, direct-to-DVD, video games and original digital titles for broadband and wireless.

As of September 2008, Warner Home Video led the home entertainment industry in market share with 20.2% of DVD sales in the U.S. In June 2008, the Studio began distributing exclusively in the Blu-ray high-definition DVD format.

The Warner Bros. Television Group is responsible for the entire Warner Bros. portfolio of television businesses, including worldwide production, distribution and broadcasting. For the 2008-2009 season, Warner Bros. Television is producing approximately twenty primetime series, with at least one for each of the five broadcast networks – a feat unmatched by any other studio – as well as for cable's FX and TNT networks. Warner Bros. Television’s signature series include ER, Two and Half Men, Without a Trace, Cold Case, Smallville, Nip/Tuck, The Closer, Supernatural, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Gossip Girl, Pushing Daisies, Chuck, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, One Tree Hill and The Big Bang Theory; its new series include Fringe, The Mentalist, Eleventh Hour and Privileged. Telepictures Productions, the creative force behind The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Tyra Banks Show, produces seven first-run syndicated series and Warner Bros. Animation produces one.

DC Comics’ characters appear in nearly 1,000 comic-book titles published and distributed globally each year, as well as in live-action and animated series, direct-to-video releases, collectors' books, online entertainment, numerous licensing and marketing arrangements, graphic novels and feature films. The Dark Knight, the latest entry in the revitalized Batman canon, has become a worldwide phenomenon since its release in July 2008.
