A Breakdown of How Oscar Best Picture Nominees Fared at the Box Office and Which Studios Dominated

Warner Bros. set a new record with 30 Oscar nominations led by Sinners' 16 nods, reflecting the studio's focus on original theatrical films, officials said.

  • On Thursday, Warner Bros. led all studios with 30 nominations for the 98th Academy Awards, which will be presented March 15 in Los Angeles.
  • Propelled by Sinners and One Battle After Another, Warner Bros.' total rose as Sinners set an Oscar nominations record with 16, while One Battle After Another tallied 13.
  • Combined, this year's best-picture nominees have earned nearly $1.4 billion globally, with One Battle After Another posting $71.6 million domestic and $206.1 million worldwide.
  • The slew of nominations caps a tumultuous year for Warner Bros., with David Zaslav calling it `powerful validation of our strategy`, as the studio faces an uncertain future under scrutiny.
  • Later this year, Warner Bros.' fate could shift as the company said it would sell much of its business to Netflix, while David Ellison-led Paramount challenged the sale and extended deadlines for Warner shareholders.
