Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden reported an 11% year-on-year revenue increase, totaling £292 million ($390 million) for the financial year ending 2025. Gross profits saw a 10% rise, although post-tax profits declined due to a doubling of the tax on profit. The vital Harry Potter studio tour generated £185 million, representing 63% of the company's overall income, attributed to increased visitor numbers and spending.
Studio facilities and equipment rental also grew significantly, driven by higher occupancy from ongoing expansion efforts. Warner Bros. Discovery invested £263 million in developing the studios and tour assets. This expansion will add 400,000 square feet of production space, including 10 new sound stages, boosting production capacity by over 50% with completion expected in Q2 next year. Upcoming productions at Leavesden include HBO's new "Harry Potter" series and "The Batman 2."
The financial report, dated September 30, 2026, was prepared during Warner Bros. Discovery's acquisition process by Skydance. Auditors noted that the transaction's full impact on the company's future framework could not be fully assessed at that time. The £111 billion acquisition ultimately closed on October 6, 2026.
