All 2021 Warner Bros Movies Free On HBO Max

And now we wait to see when it'll be available on Crave

Yeah hopefully it will be available on Crave.

noiceeeee - it will be on the interwebz hella quick & I'll be right there to snatch them up!!!!

As far as I understand it Crave only supports up to 1080p. Even if they come to Canada what are the odds we'll get the 4K treatment too?

I find it ridiculous Crave+HBO costs so much and still stuck on 1080p with 2 simultaneous streams.

It's the right business decision by Warner but it's a death blow for the movie theatre biz.

So, are we all going to start subscribing to Crave? And will Disney follow suit?

Cinemas will really be the hardest hit by this. Consumers will either decide to go for the service or to pirate so little will change on their end. A $15USD/mo HBO Max subscription is still cheaper than a $15 movie ticket, especially if you have a family so it was always more about the experience than the financials for cinema consumers.

I think I heard something about this on radio that it will be released 7 or 17 days after theatre release.

It says same day in the official Twitter post in the OP.

“As with Wonder Woman 1984, Warner Bros. has decided that in the United States, these films will be released in both theatres and on HBO Max (for a limited period of time). The concurrent window on HBO Max is restricted solely to the United States. Warner Bros. is not making such a window available in any other territory, including Canada.

While these movies will be released initially in theatres in Canada, they will be coming to Crave following their standard theatrical windows.

That's a weird move. I'd pay for HBO max to watch them legit, but if the choice is go to a theatre during a pandemic, or watch it via grey area of the internet........ I feel like it's dangerous enough to put things out digital first thing because of piracy, but to put them out, and not even offer an option to watch at home.. that's odd.

It may be because of some push back from distributors, much like how AMC is reacting to the news.

yah but using a VPN to circumvent geographic restricted copyrights isn't any more/less illegal than downloading it? When people are given a choice are they going to go through the effort of signing up via a VPN or just download it?

To me if you're going to go in on the digital, you need to sell it globally, or it's really going to incentivize piracy in all the countries you aren't selling it? Not offering any option to sell it to people outside of the US would seem to leave a bunch of money on the table. Personally, I feel it's odd for me support geographic copyright restrictions. I really do find it annoying.

HBO Max is only available in 1080p as well.

It's a tough position to be sure. By the time it's safe to go back to theatre's, there's going to be a backlog of almost 2 years worth of movies (plus whatever would of normally come out that year). If studios don't use other avenues to put out their movies, their movies could get lost in glut of movies that all want to release as soon as covid ends.

I cant see why some studios are trying to get some of these movies out via other means, but I can also see why theatres don't like it (they rely on the flicks).

Simultaneous Theatre/Digital release during Covid19, and a return to the old theatrical window when it's done, seems like a reasonable compromise. Make it temporary kind of thing. Once Covid ends, all flicks go back to the exclusive theatrical window (which is where both theaters and studios make the bulk of their $$.

I wonder if Disney will force Black Widow to "put out", sort to speak.

Starting with Wonder Woman 1984, they will start releasing content in 4k HDR, and it's safe to assume they will also start updating their library to 4k for available titles (such as GoT)
