Warner Bros Discovery is evolving into two separate entities, Warner Bros. and Discovery Global. This strategic decision, which involves a 10% reduction in workforce, is a testament to our dedication to our remaining employees.
The cuts, which will affect all departments, including marketing, distribution, production, strategy, operations, and theater ventures, will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the remaining workforce.
Motion Picture Group co-chairs Pamela Abdy and Michael De Luca released a memo to the staff, providing a detailed account of how this review, which began in early 2025, led to the decision to restructure.
The two wrote in a statement, “In partnership with our P&C colleagues, and with these new learnings, we spent a lot of time thinking about how we evolve our teams to ensure films made here at Warner Bros. continue to receive world class release campaigns, and we engross audiences with the kind of memorable in-theater experience only the big screen can offer. Adapting how we work often calls for evolution, and the future of how we run this business has required us to make some very difficult decisions, including staffing adjustments that will impact members of the Motion Picture Group. This week, your department leadership will share what these strategic changes mean for you and your teams.”
The new Warner Bros. company will maintain the HBO Max streaming service and cable channels, along with the Discovery+ streaming service, which will be a part of Discovery Global.
