Warner Bros. is a division of Time Warner Cable. Time Warner is represented by TWX<\/a>, and as of April 25, they are up over 15 points from their numbers taken in February 2016. Time Warner\u2019s first quarterly report of 2016 will be released on May 4.<\/p>\n

Current Releases<\/strong><\/p>\n

As of April 25, 2016, Warner Bros. Pictures has garnered 12.5% of the available market share<\/a>. This percentage equates to over $400 million of gross profit, tracking sixteen total movies, including four released this year. Three of the four movies Warner Bros. have released this year<\/a> (Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice, How to Be Single and Barbershop: The Next Cut) collected the majority of the year\u2019s total gross up to this point. However, Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice has clearly been the company\u2019s best investment as it compiled over $300 million in just one month of operation. This has lead the company to become the third highest earning distributor of market share and total gross.<\/p>\n
