Warner bros was founded in 1918 and founded by Jack, Harry, Albert and Sam Warner making it one of the worlds oldest production companys.
Warner Bros is the name behind films such as the Batman and Harry Potter franchise and also new films like inception all have been big comershial successes for example "the Dark Night" relised on the 18th July 2008 grosses $533,34 million making it the second highest gross film and has only been recently been over taken by "Harry Potter and the deathly hallows- part 2" that grossed $1,321,190,929 in 2011.
naturally a production company the size of Warner Bros would have its hand in making some horror films but not as many as you would expect as it generally goes to big budget projects that bring in the highest amount of revenue as they are generally appealing to all ages "Harry Potter" as out of many examples. with Horror they tend to be low budget and appeal to a select about of people which would decrease the profit margin so it tends to co produce horror films if it does at all. "Orphan" for example was co-produced with Dark Castle Entertainment, Appian Way Productions and StudioCanal so it limited the risk of losing money. "Orphan" did not lose money but only made a profit of $41,573,740, any profit is a profit but when production company's can make a profit of a lot more with little risk involved they will naturally pic the big budget action film over the Horror.
