The former Viacom and BBC executive surprised most Hollywood handicappers in winning the job, but her many backers extol her calm and determined style.

Warner Bros. has kept its film operations running fairly smoothly in 2019 but it is now contending with a Fox-fortified Disney at the box office. In television, it faces a complete reshaping of the landscape as media companies mount massive streaming efforts in a bid to close the gap with Netflix. The No. 1 strategic question facing top suppliers like Warner Bros.

Sarnoff urged employees to attend a September 4 town hall, promising more details would be relayed soon.Today is my first day at Warner Bros., and I wanted to let you know how proud I am to be joining the company and all of you. Warner Bros. has been the gold standard in entertainment for almost 100 years, and with the efforts of our global team, I believe we can continue that streak for another 100.

I’d like to acknowledge that despite the many changes that have occurred across the industry and here at the company, your focus and commitment to excellence have kept us on track to realize our ambitious goals. I cannot thank you enough for your ongoing contributions to Warner Bros.’ success. Every interaction I’ve had has confirmed my belief that a company’s people make the culture, and Warner Bros.

Look fwd to a different WB under Ann. Lots of change & a classier approach are needed. I hope she can steer the DCEU towards a strong point of competition again while understanding what they currently have & can connect w their core audience towards synergy. ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Not many companies would run smoothly with a merger and an CEO resigning breathing down their necks. Then again, not many companies are WB. Really shows it's a team effort that makes them a juggernaut. Congrats to Ann 👏. I have no doubt success will continue..
