The studio made cinema history in 1927 by releasing The Jazz Singer, the first major feature-length talkie that revolutionized the film industry's transition from silent films to sound. Over the decades, Warner Bros. has produced countless iconic franchises including Harry Potter, The Dark Knight trilogy, The Matrix, DC Extended Universe films, Lord of the Rings, and the Looney Tunes animated universe. The studio operates Warner Bros. Pictures, New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. Animation, Warner Bros. Television, and Warner Bros. Games. Its television division has produced landmark series including Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Game of Thrones, and numerous HBO original programs. Warner Bros. Discovery, formed from the 2022 merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery Inc., now oversees the studio along with HBO, CNN, Discovery Channel, and the Max streaming platform. The studio's Burbank lot remains one of the most famous production facilities in the world, hosting active film and television production.
