Batgirl movie shot in Glasgow scrapped despite being in post-production
Warner Bros also confirmed that Scoob! Holiday Haunt would be scrapped.
"We are incredibly grateful to the filmmakers of Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt and their respective casts and we hope to collaborate with everyone again in the near future." The film reportedly had not tested well with audiences in early screenings. To a certain extent, this isn't unusual for a big action movie - the special effects often aren't finished at the time the test screenings take place, which reduces viewers' enthusiasm.
That's a significant change from the "day and date" strategy adopted by the previous WarnerMedia CEO, which saw big blockbusters released on streaming at the same time as theatres.
