I can see Sony going to give this to Netflix. Netflix already has a partnership with Sony and has a Resident Evil TV show on the way.

If they switch Dune and Matrix 4 to theatrical exclusives, won't they be facing false advertising lawsuits now that they've already advertised that they will both be available through HBO Max? They've very likely made a mistake by setting the date so far out with the dual releases, but they'd be making another one by reneging on it.
Plus they already paid the talent twice. Also if they did that, you'll have directors coming out saying "Why does Dune, King Richard & Matrix get theater only releases but not my movie?".

How's NYC? I saw a video of a tornado yesterday in the Bronx I believe 😳

If Dune finished below Suicide Squad, everyone involved with WB, AT&T and MAX should be immediately kicked out of Hollywood and banned
Pretty sure that's happening regardless considering Discovery's CEO is planning on making exec changes as soon as the the merger goes through next Summer. IIRC, Emmerich and Kilar are leaving at the end of this year.

Jason Kilar didn't, but maybe Discovery will now that sensible leadership will be taking the reins.
Discovery doesn't take over until Summer 2022 though.

Does anyone know if when The Suicide Squad is released on HBO Max, Will everyone who has an HBO Max account be able to watch it on there? Or do you have to have a certain payment plan to be able to watch it on HBO Max when it’s released on there?
You can only watch it on the ad-free plan

It's important to note that the writer of Rampage is no longer the writer of this movie.
Yup, the guys who rewrote it have a really great show on Amazon Prime called Informer

I legit can't fathom what WB gains from not just firing Ray Fisher outright at this point.
There's nothing he can be fired from if he isn't in the Flash movie

Asking people to sign up for your underperforming streaming service with mediocre films doesn't seem like a good strategy to me.
Then again this is AT&T.
You mean like the number 1 streamer, Netflix?

We need a trilogy at some point, the last time we got a trilogy from a DC character was 8 years ago. It's gonna be 20+ years at this rate

I can see WB cutting a deal if they feel like they can make it up in MAX 2021 sub revenue

I was watching Wonder Woman 1984 today with my dad at his house earlier. Since Covid sort of threw a wrench in my plans this year, I've had to move back with my parents in an extremely rural part of the state - in the country, no less. My dad has about the best internet he can find (I think he's using some 4G hotspot thing), but it is a far cry from cable/fiber, and even DSL. The only other option is satellite, which is even SLOWER and pricey on top of that. What I'm saying is, there aren't really any good choices for internet out here, and it is virtually impossible for major downloads or online gaming.
We watched the movie and probably had to stop for buffer upwards of 20 times. We didn't stream it at 4K, either. Sometimes there were stretches of up to 5 minutes of buffering, and other times it would be 30 seconds to a minute. We started the 2.5 hour movie at just a little after 8pm, and it didn't finish until after 11. While this isn't at fault of Warner/AT&T, I do think it is worth mentioning. They may not be a majority now, but there are decent amounts of people with a less-than-desirable internet service for which these things just kind of ruin the entire experience. If they're really dead set on this sort of "changing of the landscape" thing (AT&T being an internet provider themselves), I feel like it is at least something they should acknowledge.
And yeah, I'm sure there's always the "lower the video quality settings" but, honestly, absolutely not. Who wants to watch the brand new blockbuster premiere in DVD quality? Nobody. If I were to live around here and have to deal with this stuff the rest of my life, I'd definitely rather just go to a theater. Where I pay to watch the film and it play in a set quality with the stability of something as fragile as my internet connection will hamper the experience.
EDIT: The most ironic part about this, is the only phone/landline providers around here are AT&T, who have opted on not providing faster internet to this area.
Max's quality is based on your internet speed, TV and audio settings. It's not like Netflix where you can choose the quality based off the tier you pay for.

As much as I have come to accept that movie theaters probably have no future, I’m at least glad that Sony is the one studio that isn’t trying to compete with Netflix. We have way too many streaming services as is. I just hope Apple doesn’t buy them out.
Sony has the streaming anime market cornered with Crunchyroll and Funimation

WM so they can complete their MGM collection 😆

Eh like Soderbergh said, you can't just keep delaying movies. It's just a matter of how much money do you want to lose. For some reason people think that the budget doesn't increase after each delay. If that was the case, Paramount would've held on to the movies they sold this year.

Legendary films is suing Warners over the HBOMAX release. I suspect many more lawsuits to follow.
Can't blame Legendary, they are going to take a huge hit over this.
Legendary hasn't done anything yet

89%, 61 reviews.
Is it still 80 reviews for certified fresh?
I thought it was a certain number of Top Critic reviews?

Has Geoff Johns been fired?
Looks like he's deleted his WW84 logo and many tweets.
He doesn't work for DC anymore so the only place they can really fire him from is Stargirl since it's a WBTV production but I doubt that happens considering that it's currently filming. My buddy is actually working on set for the show on the 17th

I’m really wondering if they’re actually not gonna have the Roku deal done by the time this comes out cause it seems like it’s almost getting too late already.
Putting a massive movie on Max to boost subs and not having it available to the widest audience is pretty stupid.
I would ask how dumb one company can be but we already know the answer.
From what i've read, Roku is the problem because they don't want to drop the HBO Channel and give Max it's own app. Then they also want a piece of HBO Max's ad revenue when the ad-tier version comes out next year.

I think Horn is staying retired this time after Disney brought him out of it the first time.
