Today Variety‘s Dave McNary and Tatiana Siegel ran a story about the collapsing of New Line Cinema that said “the emerging consensus is that at least 75% of the slots will be axed in the coming months while a bare-bones staff stays on” and “that New Line will vacate its New York office and its West Hollywood HQ and move operations onto the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank.”
Last Thursday I ran a quote from a guy who knows the way of things about the likely fate of NL employees and their Robertson Blvd. headquarters. It said that Warner Bros. “is going to cut down on overhead as much as possible, which probably means eventually closing the 116 No. Robertson office and sending a pared-down New Line staff over to offices on the Warner Bros. lot.”
