KOLKATA: In a big move, Warner Bros will release its entire movie slate simultaneously on HBO Max along with theatres in 2021. It had announced earlier that Wonder Woman 1984 would land on the streaming service on Christmas, the same time as its theatrical release, in response to Covid2019 crisis.
“We are announcing today that, in the United States, the entire anticipated 17-film 2021 Warner Bros motion picture slate is going to be released throughout the coming year in theatres and on HBO Max the same day. That’s a Warner Bros motion picture just about once every three weeks,” WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kiler said.
Hence, HBO Max subscribers will be able to enjoy The Little Things, Judas and the Black Messiah, Tom & Jerry, Godzilla vs. Kong, Mortal Kombat, Those Who Wish Me Dead, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, In The Heights, Space Jam: A New Legacy, The Suicide Squad, Reminiscence, Malignant, Dune, The Many Saints of Newark, King Richard, Cry Macho and Matrix 4 at home itself. The movies will not cost any additional charge in the first month of release.
“We are so excited for the year ahead, which for us begins with the release of Wonder Woman 1984 in a few weeks (less than 22 days from now, but who’s counting?). 17, yes, 17 huge motion pictures are planned to be both in theatres and on HBO Max,” Kiler added.
