It also still has plenty on its plate, in that it’s teamed with MGM on the two “Hobbit” films, set to go into production next month in New Zealand. New Line still has several comedies - notably “We’re the Millers,” “Honeymoon with Harry” and “Burt Wonderstone” - in active development. Brener is probably best known for shepherding “Wedding Crashers,” which grossed nearly $300 million worldwide seven years ago. New Line began putting more comedies into the pipeline when it elevated longtime exec Richard Brener to production president four years ago. It’s expected to begin production this spring on Adam Shankman’s adaptation of “Rock of Ages” and Bryan Singer’s “Jack the Giant Killer.” New Line has completed production on “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” but that title hasn’t been dated. It’s on track for five more this year with “The Rite” having opened last month and “Hall Pass” opening on Friday, followed by “Horrible Bosses” in July, the fifth “Final Destination” in August, “Harold and Kumar 3” in November and “New Year’s Eve” in December. New Line released eight films in 2009 - mostly romantic comedies such as “He’s Just Not That Into You” and “17 Again” - but that number fell to four last year (“Sex and the City 2,” “Going the Distance,” “Nightmare on Elm Street” and “Valentine’s Day”).

That happened with the ouster of founder Bob Shaye and a restructuring that cut more than 500 jobs and made New Line a full unit of Warner Bros. The move comes three years after New Line’s 40-plus-year run as a largely autonomous film entity came to an end. New Line president Toby Emmerich is expected to stay. It’s also likely that New Line’s staff of about 50 will be reduced - although those cuts haven’t been made yet.
