Things haven’t been all good for Warner Bros. lately. From underperforming movies (with the exception ofBarbie)to them facing severe backlash for shelving finished movies, fans and artists have a lot to complain about. After facing intense criticism for canceling the finished $70 millionCoyote Vs. Acme, the studio would possibly face a potential boycott from artists and filmmakers.
Movies aren’t easy to make and no filmmaker, writer, crew, or actor would want their finished movies shelved for a tax write-off or any other reason. So after having witnessed the studio shelving not one but three completed movies, filmmakers backtrack on their decision to collaborate with WB.

Fans and the artist community were quick to reprimandWarner Bros.after their decision to drop the completedCoyote Vs. Acmemovie. After facing severe criticism, it was recently revealed that the studio is willing to give the movie another chance by allowing the director to shop it off to potential buyers.
Previously the studio had shelved two other completed movies,BatgirlandScoob! Holiday Hauntlast year and had faced similar backlash. The shelving of these two movies was said to be a one-time event but after witnessing the fate ofCoyote Vs. Acme, filmmakers are worried about their upcoming or potential projects with the studio.
SinceCoyote Vs, Acmewas a movie that had already been tested and received the ‘good to be released’ tag, unlike previously dropped projects likeBatgirl,which was said to be ‘unreleasable’, filmmakers’ apprehension and fear seem reasonable.
As a result, according toThe Hollywood Reporter, several of these hopeful filmmakers have already canceled their meetings with the studio while others are apprehensive about their projects.

Good, WB as a company has been absolutely horrible the last few years in nearly every area.

No surprise. Who wants to go into business with a company that will cancel projects for tax write-offs on a whim?

Artists create their art to be seen. We’d rather our art be hated than never be seen. Execs have forgotten why people create art in the first place so when artists leave there won’t be any art left for them to shelve.

They can’t be trusted to deliver a product anymore. WB is just one giant insurance scam now.

So far their reactions have been brutal, with many fans expressing their concerns over how things have changed at the studio. It would be interesting to see how thing fare for the studio in the coming days for the public opinion is pretty turned against Warner Bros.
