Investors are also likely pleased with that $102 million opening weekend as it comes in well above the Final Destination Bloodlines‘ roughly $50-million budget. It also extends a strong 2025 for Warner Bros, which has been filled with box office success. That includes A Minecraft Movie starring Jack Black, which has grossed $928 million globally on a $150 million budget, and Michael B. Jordan’s Sinners with a $314.59 million box office haul versus a $90 million budget.
What Does This Mean for WBD Stock?
Unfortunately, Warner Bros’ successful 2025 box office run has failed to materialize gains for WBD stock. The company’s shares fell 2.51% on Monday morning, extending its 15.33% drop year-to-date. The stock joined the rest of the market in an April fall on tariff updates, and concerns of potential new Hollywood tariffs haven’t helped.
The latest analyst coverage of WBD stock comes from Barrington analyst Patrick Sholl. He reiterated a Buy rating and set an incredibly high price target of $16 per share, representing a potential 79.98% upside. The analyst pointed to resilient operating income, growth in direct-to-consumer, smart debt management, and high free cash flow as reasons to be excited about Warner Bros.
Is WBD Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold?
Turning to Wall Street, the analysts’ consensus rating for Warner Bros is Moderate Buy, based on nine Buy and eight Hold ratings over the last three months. With that comes an average WBD stock price target of $12.47, representing a potential 40.27% upside for the shares.
