Warner Bros Discovery beats second-quarter revenue estimates

Warner Bros Discovery reported a second-quarter profit driven by the international rollout of HBO Max and successful film releases, including “A Minecraft Movie,” which grossed nearly billion globally. The company added 3.4 million subscribers to its streaming division, surpassing expectations. Total revenue for the quarter reached .81 billion, exceeding analyst predictions. However, shares fell approximately 7 percent due to a 9 percent revenue drop in the cable TV unit and a 12 percent decline in advertising revenue for its linear network division. The streaming unit achieved an adjusted core profit of 3 million, a turnaround from a loss of million the previous year. Warner Bros Discovery anticipates a further decline in advertising revenue in the current quarter.
