‘Dune,’ ‘Matrix 4,’ and Every 2021 Warner Bros. Film to Debut on HBO Max and in Theaters at Same Time

While this will absolutely impact the number of people going to theaters, there's still a market/audience who love the movie theater experience.
I think theaters will survive, just radically changed.
They are showing them in the theather, starting with Wonder Woman 84 on the 25th of December.
Yes you are my friend.
It's been in development for a while now, was delayed due to covid.
That would be problematic. Once you get people used to this model, there is no going back.
As someone who has subbed for years since it was just HBO this service just keeps delivering, and is the last one I would cancel.
The MAKING of these types of films for unproduced tent-pole releases is gonna change big time, i'm betting on it. 350M budget behemoths without the theater backbone first runs. I'm scared, hold me.
That's starting with WW84, can't imagine it doesn't spread to all these releases.
Everything I've ever wanted for movies is happening... All that's left is Rob Zombie's Halloween III: Season of the Witch and that's literally everything
With Disney signaling something similiar and cinemas being basically on the verge of default the writing has been on the wall
Honestly, while it was extremely dumb of them, they'd still be stuck in the same situation, with an additional movie to figure out how to release.
Tenet brought clarity, but the past few months have shown no improvement for theaters from a safety perspective. WB would be mostly in the same spot, with or without Tenet's release.
Crazy. I might never go out to the movies again if they even exist after the next few years. Unless they lower their costs by quite a bit, it makes absolutely no sense to do so at this point.
They can say it's an experiment, but I don't think you can put this genie back in the bottle
I think this would have happened regardless, but the general performance for Tenet definitely exposed an underlying distaste for theatrical outings in the US at this juncture.
I really really really hate this. As someone who works in the TV/Film Industry, this is not good news. I really want the big screen theater model to survive.
Ugh.
Ugh.
AMC's CHOAM contract just dried up! Guild Navigators shall bring my desires directly to my sietch, for only 25 kilos of spice? PRAISE SHAI-HULUD
Theaters that adapt can survive. Just look at Alamo Drafthouse.
