Warner Bros. Entertainment is a global leader in all forms of entertainment and their related businesses across all current and emerging media and platforms. The fully integrated, broad-based Studio is an entertainment industry leader -- from feature film, television and home entertainment production and worldwide distribution to DVD, digital distribution, animation, comic books, video games, product and brand licensing, international cinemas and broadcasting.

Warner Bros. Pictures had its most successful year ever in 2007 with an estimated $1.42 billion in domestic receipts and $2.24 billion in international box office – which represented both a company and industry record for overseas box office receipts.

In September 2007, Warner Bros. Entertainment partnered with ALDAR, Abu Dhabi’s leading real estate developer, and the newly established Abu Dhabi Media Company to form an unprecedented, long-term, multi-faceted strategic alliance calling for the creation of a theme park and hotel, jointly owned multiplex cinemas, a co-finance agreement covering feature films and videogames, and the build-out of the infrastructure for Abu Dhabi’s digital transformation.

Warner Bros. Pictures' 2008 slate includes 10,000 BC, Speed Racer, Get Smart, The Dark Knight and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

In September 2007, the Harry Potter franchise became the most successful motion picture franchise of all time based on worldwide box office receipts. Five Harry Potter films have been released and the sixth is slated for release in 2008. Also in September 2007, Warner Bros. Entertainment partnered with ALDAR, Abu Dhabi’s leading real estate developer, and the newly established Abu Dhabi Media Company to form an unprecedented, long-term, multi-faceted strategic alliance calling for the creation of a theme park and hotel, jointly owned multiplex cinemas, a co-financing agreement covering feature films and videogames, and the build-out of the infrastructure for Abu Dhabi’s digital transformation.

Warner Bros. Entertainment’s greatest strategic opportunity also represents one of its biggest challenges — the rapidly evolving environment of digital distribution. As the ways consumers access, purchase and enjoy Warner Bros.’ content continue to change, the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group, which includes home video, online, wireless, games and digital distribution businesses, is focused on protecting and maximizing the value of the Studio’s content, while fully harnessing the benefits of emerging technologies.

Because of the increased demand for original properties, Warner Bros. Entertainment produces various forms of content for multiple platforms: motion pictures, television, direct-to-DVD, video games and original digital titles for broadband and wireless.

In 2007, Warner Home Video led the home entertainment industry in market share with 20.2% of home video sales in the U.S.. In January 2008, the Studio announced that it would exclusively support the Blu-ray high-definition DVD format beginning later in the year. Warner Home Video will continue to release titles in HD-DVD through the end of May.

The Warner Bros. Television Group is responsible for the entire Warner Bros. portfolio of television businesses, including worldwide production, distribution and broadcasting. For the 2007-08 season, Warner Bros. Television produced more than twenty series, with at least one for each of the five broadcast networks – a feat unmatched by any other studio – as well as for cable's FX and TNT networks. Warner Bros. Television’s signature series include ER, Smallville, Without a Trace, Cold Case, Nip/Tuck, The Closer, Two and Half Men and The New Adventures of Old Christine; its new series include The Big Bang Theory, Chuck and Pushing Daisies. Telepictures Productions, the creative force behind The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Tyra Banks Show, produces seven first-run syndicated series and Warner Bros. Animation produces four.

DC Comics’ characters appear in nearly 1,000 comic-book titles published and distributed globally each year, as well as in live-action and animated series, direct-to-video releases, collectors' books, online entertainment, numerous licensing and marketing arrangements, graphic novels and feature films. The Dark Knight, the latest entry in the revitalized Batman canon, is scheduled for a July 2008 release.

Warner Bros. Consumer Products has a long-term strategic licensing agreement with UEFA (Union of European Football Association) and has been appointed UEFA's exclusive worldwide licensing representative for UEFA EURO 2008, which will be held in Austria and Switzerland during the summer of 2008.
