Damn, can we retire the word "ether" for a bit every time someone airs their one-way grievance with someone else?
The letter is a good read. I agree that Zack Snyder should have been pulled off those projects long ago. And I agree - based off the excerpt of that memo - that Tsujihara seems incredibly tone deaf. But based off some of the films they've released - the bevy of remakes and star-studded originals - it seems more like WB is suffering from playing it too safe. I guess, I'm not really sure what some of the solutions being offered are by the writer except that Zack Snyder should be fired (which I agree on).
Suicide Squad has only been out one week and has nearly doubled its production budget, so regardless of how you feel about the film we won't really know its trajectory until we see how its legs are this second weekend. And other films like Vacation - which I hated - tripled its production budget in receipts.
I don't work at WB and I don't have the inside scoop about its issues beyond the more public aspects of it, but I'm more curious to hear about from the former employee what they see as the things necessary to fix the issue beyond "Make films that don't bomb."
