Name some movies that were done or almost where that ended up being thrown away....never released in any form.
The Day the Clown Cried was completely finished, ready for screening, pre-sold, and locked away never to be seen again. The studio had to literally pay theaters for not releasing it.
It is a movie about Jerry Lewis dressing as a clown, and helping Jewish children into the gas chambers... Yes, it is ugly. Test audiences said that after seeing it they hated Lewis, the studio, and the theater. It was feared that the movie could end Hollywood. It is usually sited as the smartest decision not to release a film.
Actually it was not finished...and it was 1972...and not Hollywood.....you claimed this happens all the time and this is all you can come up with.
Almost Never Right Walt strikes again.
Interesting Tangent: All the Money in the World spent I think it was $10 million erasing Kevin Spacey from the film because he had become WOKE Kryptonite....and then billed him for all the charges plus damages.....$31 million.
They got away with that, an arbitrator said that Spacey must pay.

Could be an insurance scam.
The liberal Batgirl...

Rebel Wilson got major shit for losing weight, did you see that?
She decided "Fuck You, I am doing it anyways".
Never heard of her...
Well you dont need to.....just understand that when a very large actress decides to loose a lot of weight they get talked to.

What point was that?
The Day the Clown Cried*(1972)
Jerry Lewis had the only copy locked in a private vault and vowed to keep it from ever being viewed again. However, according to an article in the 8/26/15 issue of the "Los Angeles Times", he allowed this film--along with some of his other movies--to be preserved at the Library of Congress, but part of the deal was that the film would not be screened there until 2024 (as it turned out, this would make its first showing several years after Lewis' death in 2017). The Library of Congress also released a statement that it hadn't decided its specific screening plans, but would neither share the film for viewing with other government facilities nor release it for any kind of home media.

Shaken, not stirred!
I saw the subject title and just clicked on....had I read who posted, I wouldn't have bothered given all sheet wearers bent to post any negative news no matter how tenuous the connection.
But let's get real for a second.....Batgirl in the early comics and the TV 60's show was caucasian and "straight". The recent TV Batgirl was gay, then black & gay....obvious pandering to specific audiences for that advertising revenue ("asses in the seats" as the old showbiz saying goes).
As for all the other Hollywood machinations....ehh, not really all that interesting to anyone not a comic con fan, directly involved or invested.
Leslie Grace is not overweight, or anything near overweight.
Spacey is a fantastic actor, but he is also accused of raping a child. There is a huge amount of evidence he is guilty, and he really is not denying it. Does child rape make someone "WOKE Kryptonite"? I guess, but it certainly effects a lot of people who are not "WOKE". By the way, the child was a boy.
Close, but not quite.
Warner Brothers just went through a merger with Discovery. Technically, the new firm bought all the assets (including this film) of the old firm. If they can prove this film has absolutely no value, it becomes a major tax write off. The issue is they had to prove that immediately. If the movie ever makes money, they have to pay back the tax right off with interest, and penalties.
The movie is worth more as a write off than as a failed release. And that is not even including the loss to the DC universe of releasing it.
