    STRENGTHS

    Strong Market Position

    Robust Performance of cable position


    Strong Programming content Warner Bros. is one of the largest movie producers in the world and is recognized internationally. With this high brand reputation as an entertainment leader, Warner Bros. has a strong competitive advantage.

    STRENGTHS
    As a huge company, Warner Bros. possesses large funds and enough resources to produce high quality movies and effectively market them without partnering with other parties. These funds also allow this company to hire the most popular actors, writers, and directors. With its strengths, Warner Bros. has produced many box office hits and earned significant revenues both domestically and internationally from ticket sales, DVD sales, rentals, and television.

    WEAKNESSES
    No concrete process for selecting which films are made. Due to this issue, the company develops ten ideas at once but eventually only one of them is made into a film. This costs the company both time and money. Moreover, film productions are well known for running past deadlines; a reported 35% of the movies are behind schedule and take more time than expected Declining Revenue from geographical segments.

    WEAKNESSES
    In fact, they say 5% of delayed films account for 80% of total cost overruns. This exceeds the Pareto Principle and shows how volatile the industry is. Tracking costs are difficult. Above-the-line and below-the-line costs often cause confusion, and it is not standard practice for companies to release production budgets

    OPPORTUNITIES

    Increasing its competitive edge over market share on an international appeal.

    OPPORTUNITIES
    Warner Bros. must hire more stars that have international recognition, as well as be careful of the genres of its films. In order to stay competitive, Warner Bros. should continue to invest in better, including 3-D technology, IMAX, and blu-ray disc releases. Finally, since Warner Brothers is a powerhouse, it has the opportunity to engage in partnerships on its own terms. This company must exploit their position to seek more marketing, video game deals, toys, and other peripheral markets.
