\n\tEXCLUSIVE: <\/strong>Just as Warner Bros<\/a> is opening their seventh original movie this year with Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s One Battle After Another<\/a>, the motion picture studio of Harry, Albert, Sam and Jack can celebrate being the first to cross $4 billion at the global box office this year.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s the first time that Warner Bros has crossed $4 billion since 2019. This time they pulled it off with eleven theatrical releases versus 20 titles six years ago. Broken out, Warners has grossed $1.795 billion at the domestic B.O. and another $2.2B abroad. This weekend, the Leonardo DiCaprio starring One Battle After Another is expected to post a $45M global bow. <\/p>\n

\n\tSuperman proved to fire off the new DC under chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran, while the original gambles which Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy have made at the larger Warner Bros Motion Picture Group with Sinners and F1, as well as new IP, Minecraft, have been smashing successes.<\/p>\n

\n\tNine Warner Bros. movies opened to No. 1 this year. So far, the studio counts 15 weekends in 2025 at No. 1 both stateside and worldwide. No other studio has pulled off those feats year-to-date. Seven consecutive films opened to north of $40M, the first for any studio (Disney had five titles that did so last year). <\/p>\n

\n\tWarner\u2019s genre label, New Line, achieved five consecutive weekends at No. 1, marking a new record for the label. Don\u2019t say horror didn\u2019t work because the Richard Brener run New Line minted over $1 billion this year alone in scary movies, delivering franchise highs at the B.O. with the recent installments of Final Destination and The Conjuring.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere\u2019s other unique box office records that Warners pulled off, read, for the first time since 2009, they\u2019re the only studio to have two movies gross over $40M on the same weekend with Sinners and Minecraft. <\/p>\n

\n\tWarners has been the top distributor of April ($1 billion WW), July ($898M WW) and August ($438M WW). At the September B.O. so far, they\u2019re commanding 36% of the domestic gross. <\/p>\n
