Biggest thing I took from it:

A few months ago, when the Warner Bros Discovery merger happened Deadline quoted an anonymous employee who foresaw the mishigoss hitting the studio now, who knew what was to come for the once proud Warner Bros:

“From an employee that has been with Warner for over 20 years … this really feels like McDonalds has bought a Michelin star restaurant and thinks they know how to run it.”

Aye man listen... WBD looking terrible rn

For a time, according to multiple sources, Warners considered pumping more money into the Batgirl to beef it up into a 2023 theatrical release. Another source downplays the notion a theatrical play was seriously in contention, as from a script stage it was conceived as a streaming play. Either way, when a very early version of the film test screened, with temp VFX and score, it landed a score in the low 60s and is believed to have only tested once. Film producers and executives have long noted test screenings are best used as a gauge for whether audiences are engaged or disengaged at certain parts of the film, not as a final judgement call on a movie. For example, horror films that end up doing well are known for testing in the 60s. Batgirl‘s test score, which was a director’s cut, is comparable to tests for the first It (2017), which wound up grossing $700.3 million globally, as well as an early test for the upcoming Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Both of those films tested in the 60s.

Batgirl had the same test screening score as IT Chapter 1 and Shazam 2.
IT was huge and Shazam is being pumped for theaters so what gives
