What an insanely bad faith argument. HBO Max is currently doing poorly and launching something as big as this on a domestic-only service with soft numbers means you’re guaranteeing that you won’t see a return on investment. Unless those Max numbers exponentially boost in the next few weeks, it’s not a viable option at all.

So now it has become launching Tenet on HBO Max "in the next few weeks"? You actually wrote "any high profile film". Keep up with your own trolling, and we will see how this prediction (or HBO Max "flopping") turns out.

No studio is gonna think about launching a movie on a streaming service that's not available in most countries.

I literally said “right now sending any high profile film to Max is flushingmoney down the toilet.“, from which you conveniently left out the first two words when you quoted it to try and make what I said mean something else. 
Anyways, it’s clear you’re only arguing in bad faith so this is the last thing I’ll say on this.

For what it's worth, WB is giving An American Pickle a traditional theatrical release over here! At this point if any WB film goes to HBO Max it's probably gonna be US only and other territories pick and choose...

This isn't going to any streaming service period because Nolan would never allow it so it's all moot.

When does "right now" end? It seems pretty silly and trollish to imply that Warner was planning to drop a high profile movie on HBO Max before Tenet was even supposed to be released in theaters.

 

Are you patting yourself on the back because Godzilla v Kong isn't being released on HBO Max this week?

the question is would Nolan not allow it because he wants his movie to be profitable or because he wants his movie to be seen on a large screen? 

 

the reason studios are very reluctant to send any blockbuster to streaming/VOD is mostly a financial issue I reckon, if blockbusters could be profitable on digital/streaming I don't see why studios wouldn't do it, like if Netflix were to pay 300M-400M to buy a blockbuster from a studio, would execs still decline?

Nolan has always placed importance on the theatrical experience. He believes that his movies were made to be seen on the largest screens possible.

They aren't gonna shut it down because streaming services are about the long-term but attaching a a 200 mil budget film to a domestic exclusive service with only 4 mil subscribers (most of whom are probably legacy subscribers) is an awful decision

 

SVOD logic isn't easy for my brain, but I am not sure what the numbers of subscribers change, even if if HBO would have 150m subscribers it is not like they are making money with people watching it.

 

There is 30m+ in the USA Cable HBO subscribers that could move over to HBO Max, if that someone they want to accelerate and ultimately want, a giant movie exclusively on MAX and not regular HBO could be a way, it need to after a deal is reach with Amazon/Roku obviously but if theater are to not be viable in 2021 (because outside of some exceptional scenario like that a Nolan movie do not start there anyway), the question is much more how many customer you can gain or retain with your SVOD product, how many watch it is almost irrelevant, your not selling tenet to subscribers, you selling it to yet to subscribe people (and to those thinking to cancel soon).

I'm surprised they've done that as US comedies have a hit and miss track record. 

 

Superintelligence could potentially get a theatrical release OS although depends on how confident WB feels about it.

At this point they're probably just giving them something new to show since the plea to unleash the tentpoles as the US continues to see record case numbers with no hope for theaters reopening in the near future isn't gonna work.

Probably means that Bill & Ted 3 will be getting a theatrical release in the UK since WB is distributing it here. It’ll be interesting to see where they schedule it as surely they’d want to avoid putting it up against Tenet if the UK gets that at the end of August.

Looks like Aug 26 is confirmed for Europe - Ireland, France, Spain and Germany seem to have locked

Will it be profitable for theaters to open only for one movie to play? Most August/September releases have moved to next year

The New Mutants and King's Man are still on. And I assume Mulan will just follow wherever Tenet goes.

Do you have a source for Germany? I only found the article by filmstarts.de and they just reference the tweet by Steven Zeitchik as source.

Bill and Ted can easily co-exist with Tenet but I suspect they'll simply move it back a week or two.

 

WB has a few smaller films on their slate in the UK, one being The Nan Movie which I imagine will end up being in October where The Witches once was and Dream Horse which was meant to come out in the Spring but I reckon will be quietly released sometime in the Autumn as it probably wouldn't have done big business even in normal times.

I would imagine UK is likely on that list as well and maybe Australia, Melbourne aside.

Is most of Europe really doing that much better than the U.S.?
