Exclusive: Just as Warner Bros opens its seventh original film with Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle this year, Harry, Albert, Sam and Jack’s film studios can celebrate the first to surpass $4 billion at this year’s global box office.
This is the first time Warner Bros. has exceeded $4 billion since 2019. This time, the studio made it possible with 11 theatrical releases against 20 titles six years ago. Broken Warner has won $1.795 billion in domestic BOs and another $2.2 billion in overseas total of $1.79 billion. This weekend, Leonardo DiCaprio is expected to post a $45 million global bow.
Superman has proven to fire a new DC under the chiefs of James Gunn and Peter Saffron, but Michael De Luka and Pam Abi are in a larger Warner Bros movie group with sinners and F1, and a new IP A Minecraft film has been successful.
Nine Warner Bros. movies opened at number one this year. So far, the studio has counted 15-week weekends both in the state and around the world. Other studios don’t take off these feats every year. Seven consecutive films opened north of $40 million, the studio’s first film. (Disney had five titles last year.)

Warners genre label New Line has set a label record for the first time, reaching its fifth consecutive weekend. Don’t say horror didn’t work out as Newline, run by Richard Brenner, minted over $1 billion this year on scary movies alone, offering franchise highs with their final destination and the latest installments from The Cojour.
Warner has removed other unique box office records. For example, for the first time since 2009, two films on the same weekend are the only studios with Sinner and Minnecraft and over $40 million.
Warners was the top distributor for April ($1 billion), July ($898 million), and August ($438 million). So far, he has led 36% of the total domestic value in September.
