HBO Max: How David Zaslav's Greed Erased a $40B Entertainment Empire

Warner Bros. Discovery was built around a $43 billion merger, but within just a few years, the strategy had helped erase roughly $40 billion in market value. This documentary follows David Zaslav’s controversial transformation of the company—from the shutdown of CNN+, to Batgirl and other films being shelved, the HBO Max rebrand, massive write-downs, rising subscriber prices, executive compensation, and the eventual breakup and sale of the company. The story also asks whether the problem was the assets themselves—or how they were managed.
