Re: WB puts whole 2021 slate on HBO Max
It would have been much worse for WB if the ScarJo thing didn't happen. People paid less attention to Nolan leaving when Disney vs ScarJo heated up.

Considering the massive production costs, rampant piracy, lukewarm box office and massive talent compensations this is probably one of the worst business ideas ever... Is it even available outside of the US? It's not available in Canada which is ridiculous. It's like they actively want people to pirate the movie. A complete failure. Telecom companies really do not know how to run a studio and should never attempt to buy one again. They are used to being able to horribly screw over their employees and customers but that doesn't work the same way in entertainment where many more options exist. Now don't get me wrong, I know Hwood studios get up to all kinds of shady tactics, but they at least try not to piss off top talent that's made them billions.

As far as I know it's available in a lot of Latin America countries and some european ones, problem is for a ton of countries there's already existing deals for HBO titles licensing so they have to wait them out before they can launch their service unless they want to try with like 20% of their catalogue.

Re: WB puts whole 2021 slate on HBO Max
https://deadline.com/2022/04/the-batman ... 235009362/Batman's first 7 days on Max was bigger than every 2021 WB release except Mortal Kombat.... well would you look at that LOL. Honestly last year should've at least been a 30 day window. Such a disasterous idea.

Re: WB puts whole 2021 slate on HBO Max
So from the whole 2020/2021 box office / streaming experiment seems like the winners are: Those who held on to their product and waited for a theatrical release
Paramount?! Not WB. Yay the box office is back!

Re: WB puts whole 2021 slate on HBO Max
This was one for the books and has torpedoed the company lololol
I think with summer they should at least have hits. Happy to see theaters survive another day though.

Re: WB puts whole 2021 slate on HBO Max
It's gonna have more trashy reality stuff on it now, Max is a better name for it I guess than having the prestige HBO brand attached
