Now Introducing HBO Max Classic

[Man in the Suit]

Westworld’ & ‘The Nevers‘ Pulled Off HBO Max, Victorian Drama Canceled – Deadline

This is why I buy physical media.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Why would he pull them out completely? Most of his choices are incomprehensible.

Doesn't want to pay residuals. It'll only be a matter of time he does the same for other shows. Especially if actors get good money from it

 

[Prison Mike]

That's a good guess, given their ongoing collaboration with Joy/Nolan. Do you think they may renew this for its final season, too?

Probably not. The show’s done I think.

 

[Filmfreak]

I didn't notice it initially but the article says both shows will probably move in another platform owned by WBD. And that sources say a free ad supported TV that Zazlav is thinking of developing.

Every decision made is just... a lot to take in.

Why put your stuff on HBO, HBO Max (which has an ad supported tier), TNT, TBS, or your weird Discovery app (also has an ad tier)? Let's make another one!

 

[MOVIELORD101]

Why hasn't Zazlav been fired yet? Ever since he took over, WB's been losing money because of him! Are the shareholders THAT scared of him?

 

[Prison Mike]

After the whole Chapek mess, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a coup brewing right now

Everyone who has ever made anything for WB right now:

HBO proper would is definitely worried. The add supported tier already kind of cheapened the HBO brand, and from the sounds of it, Zaslav is all too ready to cheapen HBO proper now.

 

[chamber-music]

WB got more intrigue and backstabbing than ancient Rome.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

WB got more intrigue and backstabbing than ancient Rome.

Or just Rome, their show. Oh, did they take that down, too...

 

[-Arya-]

What a f***ing disaster.

 

[Drizzle]

I haven't watched Deadwood yet but it's on my watch list. If that gets taken down, Zaslav, so help me...

Time for all older HBO shows to jump up on all our lists.

Remember when they were removing Max originals and made it sound like HBO channel shows would be safe... I miss that.

If Zaslav tried to remove The Sopranos or The Wire from HBO Max they could probably boot him by reason of insanity.

 

[flickchick85]

Was pleasantly surprised to see Banshees of Inisherin show up on the homepage today already. One of my faves of the year.

To play devil's advocate with Zaslav, I have a feeling that we can't see the full extent of WB's financial issues. Like binning nearly complete movies is crazy but they're in a position where they can't even afford to release those flicks if they did finish them. I bet their books are so bad the pages are constantly catching fire.

Removing HBO shows from HBO Max might be even more baffling at face value. I think the streaming economy is probably a disaster for most (if not all) of these big providers. This surely must be an omen for HBO Max's future though. I know Westworld fell off a cliff but I can't even imagine what the projections must be if someone has decided that simply hosting it is not worth the money and resources. How long before people lose all confidence that their favourite things are going to be available to watch?

Remember the reports that they only had enough cash to release to major films in theaters. (Black Adam and Don't Worry Darling, how did that work out for you Zas)

Yeah, they are in dire straights. As is most leveraged buyouts. But there are ways to manage that without destroying your future potential.

 

[Mister J]

This looks like as good of a time as any to binge Westworld (loved the original movie).

Also, while understanding of the circumstances, I'm still waiting for Tales From the Crypt.

I loved the original movie as well and couldn't make it through a season of the series.

Good luck though! Maybe you will feel differently!

and the cuts just keep coming

Just in time for WB's 100th birthday.
