Warner Bros. Pictures

Warner Bros. Pictures is an American film studio and the distribution arm of the Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group division of Warner Bros. Entertainment, itself a namesake flagship subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery. Headquartered at the Warner Bros. Studios complex in Burbank, California, Warner Bros. Pictures is one of the "Big Five" major American film studios and is the third oldest film studio in the United States still in operation, after Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures, both founded in 1912. Animated films produced by Warner Bros. Pictures Animation are also released under the studio banner.

Warner Bros. Pictures was founded on April 4, 1923, by the brothers Harry Warner, Albert Warner, Sam Warner, and Jack L. Warner. In addition to producing its own films, the studio handles filmmaking operations, theatrical distribution, marketing and promotion for films produced and released by other Warner Bros. labels. These labels include Warner Bros. Pictures Animation, New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Clockwork, as well as various third-party producers.

Warner Bros. Pictures' most commercially successful film franchises include the Ocean's trilogy, Superman, Harry Potter, Batman, The Hobbit trilogy, The Matrix, Monsterverse, Mad Max, and Dune. Additionally, the studio's library includes many individual films such as The Exorcist, The Towering Inferno, 300, I Am Legend, Inception, Interstellar, American Sniper, It, Ready Player One, Barbie, and A Minecraft Movie, with five of the eleven films being nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, and all of them became among the highest grossing films of all time.

Warner Bros. Pictures is currently one of three film studios within the Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, the others being New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Pictures Animation.
