Can WB legally own a large theater chain without creating an industry monopoly?
Cause it looks like they're moving in for a strategic kill.

No.The big studios did at one point did own theaters but they broke that up in like 50's/60's
What they doing now is different.

Besides, the only U.S. based entertainment industry we should be afraid to see obtaining an industry monopoly is Disney.
The company does already earns about 35-40% of the entertainment market in North America, save from their dominance in theatrers and partnership with Sony and other companies that raises it up to abput 50%. Which is illegal: hence why Disney C.E.O. Bob Iger was so pleased to financially sponsor Trump and fostering closer political approach between the ABC Channel and the right wing pundits during the electoral run of 2016...

The issue was that they're distributing their own product.
Streaming creates that problem all over again.
Not really.
Back when major studios owned movie theaters, they would outright not show movies from their competitors.
WB showing their movies on their own platform isn't stopping Disney, or Universal, or Paramount movies from being shown like they use to do.
The only problem it creates is for theater chains not having those WB movies or the other studios going the streaming route.

But every company is only streaming their content, not content from their competitors.
Or maybe not... obviously Disney is getting out of the leasing business. Netflix would like to as well. I see it happening down the road where everyone distributes their own content and the theater chains are left only independent films which are incapable of supporting large theater chains.

2 New DC Movies A Year Releasing Exclusively On HBO Max
The DCEU is beginning to flesh out plans to greatly expand the franchise, with plans for two movies a year to go straight to HBO Max. The DCEU began in earnest in 2013 with Zack Snyder's Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill as Kal-El. Three years later Batman v Superman brought Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman and Ben Affleck's Batman to the big screen. The franchise has struggled to get off the ground, especially when compared to its most obvious competitor, the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
While the MCU was both critically acclaimed and smashing box office records, the DCEU struggled to keep up. Movies like Suicide Squad and Justice League weren't received well by critics or struggled to make an impact at the box office. 2017's Wonder Woman and 2018's Aquaman changed all that. Both were well received by critics and the latter was the first DCEU film to cross $1 billion at the box offie. Still, plans for the future remained unclear even with a robust slate announced for the coming years.
Now, Walter Hamada, president of DC films, has revealed the studio's plans for the future. According to the NYT, the studio plans to release two DCEU films a year on HBO Max, in addition to theatrical releases (up to four a year). These films will focus on smaller, riskier characters (Batgirl and Static Shock are given as examples). Hamada also says that, in addition to films, television offshoots are possible and those will connect with the larger universe as well.
The larger DCEU universe has been in disarray for quite some time - while the studio has consistently turned out films, their grand plan has remained unclear. At times, it seemed as the studio was rushing out films simply to compete with Marvel, not to create a larger, interconnected franchise. That effort, though, clearly wasn't working - and it became clear Warner Bros. and DC needed to reevaluate their course of action for their comic book adaptations.
The development of an interconnected franchise of smaller movies, television shows, and four theatrical blockbusters a year represents the first effort to synch the franchise across multiple platforms, something Marvel began doing in earnest since some years back. With the recent announcement that Disney+ would have 25 Marvel shows over the next few years, the DCEU was clearly lagging even further behind. Upcoming films like The Flash, Aquaman 2, and The Suicide Squad are clear efforts to get the studio back on track, but they also serve as reminders of the past few years that the DCEU spent spinning its wheels. If the studio ever wants to catch up to Marvel or at least become a formidable competitor, the DCEU needs to solidify their larger plan and get the ball rolling. It seems like Hamada, who took over the studio in 2018, is finally beginning to do that.

DCEU is beginning to flesh out plans to expand.
ScreenRant which, as usual, cannot post the slightest DC related publishing without fogging themselves in useless intel, rumors and cock-sucking eulogies about a Disney-owned franchise, which for the latest four years, whose three latest film installments has received critically mixed public reviews, has two of them being reportedly for the former (Captain America: Civil War) and allegedly for the three latters (Captain Marvel, Avengers: Infinity War & Avengers: Endgame) plagiarized superhero movies from competing franchises (BVS for the former, Green Lantern, X-Men: Dark Phoenix's original two-part 4-hours long cut & the Snyder's Cut) , has undergone as many scandals behind scenes and in-production as WB/DC and openly attempted to destroy Stan Lee's daughter' reputation after she called out Bob Iger's cutthroat policy and her own father's disapproval in his later days over what has been done with his legacy. ?
This is why I prefer to read TheHollywoodReporter/THR when it comes about CBM stuff. Most of their chroniclers aren't willing to do a blowjob for Mickey's under-the-table payroll, knows how to appreciate different fantasy or CBM franchises and call out each one's bullshits without exuding any toxic fanboying miasma while reporting.
I can't stand the shills and their tomfoolery: the Disney/MCU shills are amongst the worse.
