WarnerMedia Entertainment CEO Bob Greenblatt is hopeful the company can stick the landing on the reported $500 million deal to keep J.J. Abrams in the fold.
“We hope to keep him in the family,” Greenblatt said Tuesday during a panel with “Big Little Lies” star Laura Dern at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity.
Abrams is closing in a $500 million overall deal with WarnerMedia that will give the media powerhouse a first look at any film, TV show, video games, consumer products and streaming content from Abrams’ Bad Robot outfit, the New York Times reported on Monday.
