Deadline: Warner Bros. isn’t through with cost cutting after slicing about $200 million from its operating expenses last year. “We think there’s an opportunity to go even further” — particularly in marketing — said studio CEO Kevin Tsujihara. “We spend about $2 billion a year on marketing expenses. There’s a huge opportunity for more one-to-one marketing” — especially using the digital data the studio collects from Flixster and Rotten Tomatoes, which parent Time Warner bought in 2011. He also hopes to save by outsourcing some functions. “Third-party vendors are something we haven’t seen — we have a material opportunity there.”
