Abstract

Warner Bros. Discovery Inc., the parent company of HBO and CNN, reported lower-than-expected first-quarter revenue due to declines in traditional pay-TV subscriptions and a weaker movie lineup. The company recently restructured its business into two divisions to adapt to the shift towards online streaming services. Despite the revenue miss, Warner Bros. gained 5.3 million streaming subscribers in the first quarter, with plans to surpass 150 million subscribers by next year. The company's advertising revenue fell, and its studios unit faced challenges with the reception of its sci-fi film Mickey 17. President Donald Trump's proposed tariff on foreign films is expected to impact the industry. [Extracted from the article]
