The Tragic Downfall of Warner Bros

Описание: For over a century, the Warner Bros. shield stood for Hollywood power. But behind the iconic movies like Batman and Harry Potter, lies a history of sibling rivalry, corporate greed, and risky bets that changed cinema forever. In this video, we explore the incredible rise of the Wonskolaser brothers and the series of mergers (AOL, AT&T, Discovery) that led to the current "cracked shield" era.
