How quickly the fortunes of a Hollywood studio head can change. Just weeks after the word around town was that their jobs were in jeopardy, Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group studio heads #MichaelDeLuca and #PamAbdy have passed a key test of their film strategy and will likely live to fight another day thanks to the critical and commercial success of #RyanCoogler’s “Sinners” and the birth of a new franchise with #JaredHess’ “A Minecraft Movie,” according to multiple insiders who spoke with TheWrap. Coogler’s vampire horror film’s $48 million domestic opening weekend and extremely rare A CinemaScore — the first for a horror film in 39 years — has strengthened the pair’s position following earlier misfires like #ToddPhillips’ “Joker: Folie à Deux” and #BongJoonho’s “Mickey 17.” 🔗 link in bio for more on this story.
