While those dollar figures exceeded the expectations of acting Vancouver film commissioner Geoff Teoli, he said "we expect it to settle back a bit going forward." This comes as questions hang over further spending at Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (Nasdaq:WBD), the parent company behind DC League of Super-Pets. The entertainment giant generated waves of headlines over the summer related to spending cuts that saw the nearly complete Batgirl film – made for the HBO Max streaming service – scrapped altogether in favour of taking a tax write-down. Meanwhile, Netflix Inc. (Nasdaq:NFLX) chief financial officer Spencer Neumann told investors in April that his company would be "pulling back" on how much it spends on content after investing US$17 billion in those ventures in the 2021 fiscal year. This comes after the company, which counts on B.C. for animated content and service work for live-action production, began shedding subscribers earlier this year.
