Justice League may not have been quite as big a box office hit as expected, but Warner Bros.’ parent company Time Warner has been touting the studio’s success in 2017 – with the film division scoring a record year at the global box office.
“Warner Bros. had its best year ever at the global box office with its films grossing over $5 billion in box office receipts, led by hits like Wonder Woman, It and Dunkirk, which received eight Academy Award nominations, including for Best Picture. Warner Bros. also remains the #1 supplier of television shows for the broadcast networks, and saw continued growth in games with franchise releases Middle-earth: Shadow of War and Injustice 2.”
Wonder Woman pulled in $821 million worldwide, with the Stephen King adaptation It scoring a whopping $700 million and Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk $525 million. Justice League added a further $656 million, while Warner Bros.’ entire film, television and video game operations amassed revenues of $13.9 billion in total across the year.
