Warner Bros has revealed that most of its 2021 movies will be made available exclusively on HBO Max. But the catch here is that the films will be available only for one month from their release date—the good news for all the fans looking to get a subscription to HBO Max. You will get free access to these new releases of Warner Bros.
Because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many theaters and film shootings were forced to shut down, and the cases have now increased to a serious margin. But still, many theaters were resumed showing films in late August and early September to increase the business. Sadly, things didn’t go through as well, particularly in the U.S, where the COVID-19 spread has never stopped.
As with the new Covid-19 wave is also going on. As the new cases continuing to spike daily, now the theatrical releases such as Tenet and New Mutants also faced major losses commercially, thereby forcing the studios to delay the launch of some particular movies even more. Several highly-anticipated projects planned to get released during Christmas and New Year have now been pushed back to Mid 2021.
Why has Warner Bros taken this decision of Releasing all their movies on HBO Max?
As we all know, most filmmakers and producers are looking to release their films on OTT platforms to avoid the major loss they will face for theatrical releases. So The Warner Bros is now also planning to release all their major releases on the new OTT platform, HBO Max.
