Warner Bros. Pictures is an American film studio and distribution arm of the Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, which in turn is a division of Warner Bros. Entertainment, both of which are owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. It is headquartered at the Warner Bros. Studios complex in Burbank, California. Warner Bros. Pictures is one of the "Big Five" major American film studios and is the third oldest film studio in the United States still in operation, after Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures, both founded in 1912. Animated films produced by Warner Bros. Pictures Animation are also released under the studio banner.

Warner Bros. Pictures was founded on April 4, 1923, by the brothers Harry Warner, Albert Warner, Sam Warner, and Jack L. Warner. In addition to producing its own films, the studio handles filmmaking operations, theatrical distribution, marketing and promotion for films produced and released by other Warner Bros. labels. These labels include Warner Bros. Pictures Animation, New Line Cinema and Castle Rock Entertainment, as well as various third-party producers. Warner Bros. Pictures is currently one of four live-action film studios within the Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, the others being New Line Cinema, Castle Rock Entertainment, and Spyglass Media Group (with a minority stake).
