Film Now Introducing HBO Max Classic

Straight from the horse's mouth.

Seems like a good deal to me.

Most movies make their money in the first month anyway. If you want to see if in theaters the option is there. You want to wait until home theater, it's coming out sooner.

I'll never get over how puzzled I was, after having seen literally everything else we wanted to see, we could not legitimately see Last Christmas two or three weeks before Christmas in the Atlanta area because it burned out by Thanksgiving.

My ideal model would be to have the opportunity to watch these movies from home the same day as everyone else does, even for a premium (which we have supported with Disney+ Premiere Access). Cut the middle man out of the transaction entirely so I don't partake in activities that bring crowds together during a pandemic, and more selfishly: my enjoyment isn't hindered with disruptive audiences who treat the auditorium as their living room anyway or subpar presentation quality. That's the choice we should have as consumers.

...Come on.

Indeed. We have had *years* of people being way too forgiving of BvS. All you need to do is nose around looking for a thread full of Snyder-apologists. The idea that "nobody has been too forgiving" doesn't pass the belly laugh test.

You've always had those choices. Go to theaters. Or wait for it to come to home media.That's how it's been since the 70s/80s. You're not getting any more choices than you already had.

It just boils down to people being impatient and frankly a bit entitled. "I want my movie and I want it now" type beat.

Regular people rely on the theater industry for jobs. I'm not gonna advocate for the end of theaters just because some people can't be patient for their movies.

What money can it make at this point ? It is done in Theaters with so much out & coming uut now

Yes but usually it goes to VOD or purchase only first. Then streaming after

 

[DarkKnight88]

More importantly, when does it come out for real purchase on bluray/4K?

What’s the difference between being “forgiving” and just genuinely liking it?

Did anyone know this was in development? I just found out about it randomly: Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai (TV Series 2022– ) - IMDb

I vaguely remember someone making a thread about it.

Yes and it makes Gizmo look so un-adorable and it looks REAL CHEAP

Hello can anybody ask me this are they going to launch a new combined streaming service or they still going to run with HBO Max and Discovery Plus are separate.

They're folding Discovery into HBO Max is my understanding.

HBO Max and Discovery Plus will merge into one app

Ok thanks for the reply. That makes more sense than creating another new streaming service. I wonder if they will still keep the AT&T HBO Max subscription because I have AT&T U-Verse and subscribe through that. If not anymore it’s all good I’ll just subscribe to HBO Max like my other services lol.

Yeah that's what I've been wondering.

This pleases me. I already have Max so if I get Discovery + stuff on top of that, the more the merrier.

The question is are they gonna keep the marathon channels or just have a Discovery hub in Max?

 

[Slick]

Yeah that's what I've been wondering.

I did find this but don’t know if it will still hold any weight.

The article mentions that there are deals in place to keep the AT&T subscription so it’s just wait and see.

Absolutely nothing. To genuinely like the movie you have to be able and willing to forgive its, manifest and very numerous, flaws.

Hey, I was wrong. Ah, well. This is inevitably going to cut the legs out from under it and the Snyder Cult is going to be even more obnoxious

That’s all subjective

It made $6m last weekend and has been dropping 40+% every weekend. With Sonic and Fantastic Beasts in theaters this weekend, then the combo of Bad Guys taking more of the family crowd and Unbearable Weight/Northman taking the adults only crowd the following weekend, and then Doctor Strange 2 just a little later. I'm being generous when I say it has $15m left in the bank domestically. WB rightfully is going to chase subscribers now that theaters begin taking the larger share of ticket prices.

Amazing that The Batman is going to make close to 800M! I remember the doom and gloom just a year ago about theatres “going away” and we’re back to where they likely would’ve made pre-pandemic. And keeps the titles like Spider-Man and Batman and Sonic more prestige, so they have two lives than all at front.
