Shortly after its misguided alliance with Discovery, WBD is redefining itself and isn’t keeping its future business goals a secret. One business, Streaming and Studios, will continue to own HBO, HBO Max, DC Studios, Warner Bros., and New Line. The company’s cable channels and brands, such as CNN, HGTV Cartoon Network, and Discovery, are part of the other, Global Networks.

The Legend of Zelda film has been postponed by Nintendo.
Only by six weeks, though.
With the 2027 movie release schedule, Nintendo is saying, “Well, excuse me,” pushing The Legend of Zelda back to May 7.
