Warner Bros. Discovery is set to release 19 films in 2027 — five more than in 2026. Company head David Zaslav expects to maintain a similar volume of releases in the future:
"We are fully confident that we can sustain this increased volume. We have a unique advantage: a great creative team, strong relationships with industry representatives, and a vast amount of intellectual property."
Zaslav admitted that the 2026 schedule turned out to be relatively modest due to the decision not to release films until they are fully ready:
"Our general philosophy is to bring a picture to market when it's ready. So this year, we're a little short on big blockbusters. 'The Cat in the Hat' and 'Practical Magic' are still ahead, and we believe the second half of the year will go well. But if we could do it all over again, we would have distributed the releases between this year and next year a little more evenly."
Zaslav did not mention another major film from the remaining 2026 lineup — Denis Villeneuve's "Dune: Part Three." The film will be released on December 18, the same day as "Avengers: Doctor Doom." Although the film is produced by Legendary Pictures, its worldwide distribution is handled by Warner Bros.
Among Warner Bros.' biggest releases for 2027, Zaslav named "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum," "Minecraft in Cinema 2," and James Gunn's "Superman." The company head also mentioned Matt Reeves' "The Batman. Part 2," although the film's premiere is currently scheduled for February 18, 2028. Zaslav may have misspoke or referred to unannounced changes in the release calendar.
