De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre

Warner Bros. Entertainment es uno de los más grandes productores de cine y televisión del mundo. Es actualmente una filial del conglomerado Time Warner con sede en Burbank, California, Estados Unidos.

Warner Bros. incluye varias compañías subsidiarias, entre ellas Warner Bros. Studios, Warner Bros. Pictures, WB Television, Warner Home Video, Castle Rock Entertainment, Turner Entertainment, Dark Castle Entertainment, DC Comics, y los remanentes de Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc., aunque el antiguo estudio de la Hanna-Barbera es ahora conocido como Cartoon Network Studios y está bajo la Turner Broadcasting.

[editar] Historia

El nombre corporativo se debe a los cuatro fundadores, los hermanos Warner, Harry Warner (1881–1958), Albert Warner (1883–1967), Sam Warner (1887–1927) y Jack L. Warner (1892–1978). Los tres hermanos mayores comenzaron en el negocio de la exhibición en 1903, habiendo adquirido un proyector con el cual mostraban filmes en los pueblos mineros de Pennsylvania y Ohio. Dentro de unos pocos años, esto llevó a la distribución de películas a través de un área de cuatro estados. Para la época de la Primera Guerra Mundial, comenzaron a producir películas, y en 1918 los hermanos abrieron los estudios de la Warner Bros. en Sunset Boulevard, en Hollywood. Sam y Jack Warner producían las películas, mientras que Harry y Albert manejaban las finanzas y la distribución en Nueva York. En 1923, se incorporaron formalmente como Warner Bros. Pictures, Inc.
