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.
