How has Warner Bros converged in order to increase revenue?

One of the things that Warner Bros did in 1989 was to improve its strategy of growing a market for its films by building state of the the-art multiplex theatres in undeserved territories. In addition, Warner Communications bought entertainment company Lorimar Telepictures which increased Warner Bros profile. When they bought Studio umbrella this lead to Warner Bros becoming one of the leading companies in both feature films and TV. The 1990s was a key decade for the Studio, starting in 1990 when Warner Communications, Inc and Time Inc who joined together to form Time Warner, which at the time was one of the world's largest communications and entertainment companies in the world. In 1995 W.B became a dominant force in the production. In 1996 Warner Bros took over the management of the Turner library which lead to it  becoming an early adopter of the Internet as well as a promotional tool which resulted in the launch of the DVD format. Warner Bros includes companies such as Television Group, Warner Bros, Home Entertainment Group and  WBTVG which have all helped Warner Brothers increase revenue and profit.
