Warner Bros. Pictures (1923–1967)

Rare card · No. 48300

Warner Bros. Pictures, Inc. was the original Warner Bros. company. It was founded as a film studio on April 4, 1923, by four brothers, Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack L. Warner. It soon established itself as a leader in the American film industry before diversifying into animation, television, and music recording. It was acquired by fellow film studio Seven Arts Productions in 1966 to form Warner Bros.–Seven Arts. This was itself acquired two years later in 1969 by Kinney National Company, which eventually became Time Warner. The most direct modern successor of the original Warner Bros. Pictures is Warner Bros. Entertainment, which contains the descendants of its film, television, film animation, and television animation activities, although the music recording activities are now the independent Warner Music Group.
