• The main takeaway from their 2016 slate is that they have a nice, diverse slate.
• More Super Hero and Fantasy fare.
• 30% of the slate is comedy.• Family films are down a bit
overall, but they’ve never relied too much on that category.
• Nice Oscar bait starting in September.
• Plays well with the Int’l crowd.

Comedy Action Drama Sci-Fi Super HeroRomance Thriller Horror Family Fantasy
• Comparing 2015 to 2016, you can see that the Warner Bros. slate is more diverse in terms of its Super Hero, Fantasy and Thriller categories.
• These three categories appear to be the most promising contributors to their final 2016 box-office haul at the moment.
• They’ve decreased their Drama fare in 2016, which might be a good thing considering that most of their drama films last year didn’t pan out as well as they might have hoped.
• Funny = money, and they’ve kept their Comedy a top priority.
