Why Superhero Movies Are Proving to be WB Pictures’ Kryptonite Part II – Opinion Piece

Now that I've established what 'sunk cost fallacy' is – and that most of WB Pictures recent business decisions seem to stem from a wholehearted attempt to avoid this pitfall, it should be clear why the heads of the company are cancelling projects all over the place.

From the much maligned pulling of ‘The Batgirl film’ just months before it's release - to the recent controversy over cancelling a completed Looney Tunes project (flagship characters of WB Animation) that starred the extremely bankable John Cena. In total, there are 18 or more television series and movies that have been cancelled by Warner Bros. Entertainment in the last few years.

I feel it's time to say something about the Warner Bros. Pictures fiasco.

But before I do that, it's necessary to unpack what the term 'sunk cost fallacy' means. Sunk cost fallacy is when an individual (or organization) believes it is worthwhile to continue pouring funds into an obviously fruitless venture.

It's based around the assumption that once you have extended yourself financially it makes sense to invest more - until the project pays off. In business, this is one of the gravest errors a person can make. It's much more advantageous to know when you should 'cut your losses' and move on to a more profitable endeavor.
