Film Warner Bros’ Mike De Luca & Pam Abdy On Playing Long Game Despite Brutal Press

If you focus on snarky and largely unsubstantiated reports, you might figure Warner Bros Pictures co-chairs/CEOs would spend this weekend boxing up their belongings. But the overheated noise quieted after ‘A Minecraft Movie’ did way better than anyone imagined, and mixing IP like ‘The Bodyguard’ revamp with bold originals and animation is showing that the Burbank is indeed a swell place to make big, important movies. De Luca and Abdy answer every question from Deadline’s Mike Fleming Jr. that they were able to, painting a picture full of hope that they will be at WB a good long time.
