So something I can't understand, and please forgive me if it's been discussed:

I don't understand how removing from the service completely a years old film like An American Pickle can be used as a tax write-off. This movie was filmed in 2018 and WB didn't have anything to do with it until they bought the rights in 2020, the year it was released.

I can understand the logic behind canceling a movie or show partway through, but this movie has been out and watchable for years. What costs are they saving by removing a digital from their streaming service?

On the paper they will probably say that it underperformed, and not worth the server cost.
In reality, it is most likely the new CEO showing that he got the power to do whatever he wants.
