Warner Bros. and Sony Partner on $400M Las Vegas Studio Project
The collaboration hinges on Nevada legislature approval of a proposed $105M annual film tax credit expansion.
- Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures have joined forces to develop a 31-acre production facility in Las Vegas' Summerlin community, in partnership with Howard Hughes Holdings.
- The project is contingent on the passage of Nevada Assembly Bill 238, which proposes increasing the state's film tax credits from $10 million to $105 million annually.
- The Summerlin Studios development is projected to generate over $3 billion in economic impact and create tens of thousands of jobs in Nevada.
- This marks a shift from last year, when Warner Bros. and Sony backed competing studio projects in Nevada, with Warner Bros. abandoning its previous partnership at UNLV's Harry Reid Research and Technology Park.
- If approved, the studio would become Warner Bros.' third production hub, alongside facilities in London and Burbank, and is expected to be operational by July 2028.
