BROTHERS AND BELSTONE PICTURES
BY SHEVCHENKO SASHA.

3. 1903-1925: Founding
The company is named after the four Warner brothers: Harry (Hirsch,
Vonschrader), albert Warner (Aaron Vonschrader), Sam Warner
(Shmuel, Vonschrader) and Jack Warner (Isaac, Vonschrader), whose
parents emigrated from the Russian Empire (the territory of present
Poland) to USA (via England and Canada).
So, In 1904, brothers founded the Duquesne Amusement & Supply
Company (which became the predecessor of Warner Brothers), which
was engaged in the distribution of films. For several years the land on
which worked for them the company has expanded and included the
four States and in 1918 they opened a Studio Warner Bros.
The company prospered, allowing the brothers in 1924 to get a loan on
wall Street. These funds were used to purchase the Vitagraph
Company, which had a nationwide distribution network, as well as to
buy several radio stations and build new theaters.
Well, Let's go back to our time. What about now?
The Studio is located in the USA in Burbank, California

Studio exists already as almost one hundred years!
All this time they have collected...ARE YOU READY...?...

WARNER BROTHERS
5. Wonder Woman is the fourth film in the DCEU and
apparently it is one of the last. (Warner Bros. recently
came out and said they would be focusing on
individual stories and downplaying the overall
continuity for a while. Smart move.) Wonder Woman
broke a number of records during its box office run,
including biggest box office hit for a female director,
biggest super hero original movie, etc. and in the end,
it was the biggest domestic hit of the summer.
Wonder Woman is a 2017 American superhero film
based on the DC Comics character of the same
name, produced by DC Entertainment in association
with RatPac Entertainment and Chinese company
Tencent Pictures, and distributed by Warner Bros.
Pictures. It is the fourth installment in the DC
Extended Universe (DCEU). Directed by Patty
Jenkins.
Wonder Woman premiered in Shanghai on May 15,
2017, and was released in the United States on June
2, 2017 by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Wonder Woman grossed $412.6 million in the United
States and Canada and $409.3 million in other
territories for a worldwide total of $821.8 million,
against an estimated production budget of $120–
150 million.
