Genndy Tartakovsky’s Adult Animated Movie ‘Fixed’ Won’t Be Released By Warners; Sony Looking For New Buyer
[ad_1]
Deadline has confirmed that Warner Bros won’t be releasing Genndy Tartakovsky’s adult animated title Fixed. This the second animated movie after Coyote Vs. Acme that the David Zaslav-led administration at the studio has casted aside.
The movie reportedly centers around a canine’s ballsack bucket list.
Sony Pictures Animation made the movie, and they’re taking back distribution rights in hopes of the pic finding a new home. Netflix, a buyer of Sony Pictures Animation fare Vivo and The Mitchells vs. The Machines is one possible contender.
Tartakovsky has had a long run at Warner Bros, specifically Cartoon Network with hits such as Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack and Star Wars: Clone Wars. He has a multi-year exclusive deal with Cartoon Network Studios and Warner Bros. Animation. The filmmaker has also been big for Sony having delivered three of their Hotel Transylvania which minted close to $1.4 billion at the global box office.
When it comes to killing movies of late, Warner Bros Discovery is very strict on what they gamble on; because if it can’t stick theatrically, they don’t want to get behind it. The entertainment conlgom remains in dire straits in the wake of an enormous loss after a $9.1 billion impairment charge to account for slipping advertising and uncertainty around sports renewal rights after losing the NBA package. Shares fell to a $6.73 52-week low yesterday. Current market cap is at $17.3 billion.
Warner Bros didn’t return request for comment.
