According to iO9, Warner Bros. Pictures just announced that their entire slate of 2021 movie releases will launch in theaters and stream on HBO Max simultaneously. This is a huge move and will be a game-changer for struggling movie theaters, at least for the next year. The studio recently signaled their first move in this direction with the announcement that Wonder Woman 1984 will hit HBO Max (and theaters) on Christmas day.
This means a lot of huge movies will be available to stream in your living room for free (as long as you're an HBO Max subscriber) the same day they hit theaters. Here's a partial list of the movies this will include:
- Tom & Jerry (March 5, 2021)
- The Many Saints of Newark (March 12, 2021)
- Godzilla vs. Kong (May 21, 2021)
- The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (June 4, 2021)
- In the Heights (June 18, 2021)
- Space Jam: A New Legacy (July 16, 2021)
- The Suicide Squad (August 6, 2021)
