for whatever the ultimate dual platform looks like.  it took them 2+ years to finally get people to understand the difference between "HBO" and "HBO Max"  they're not going to **** with the name now, even if it ultimately includes all the Discovery branded content

NY Post: ‘Irredeemable’ ‘Batgirl’ movie gets ‘shelved’ by Warner Bros. despite $70M price tag: source Peter453 Aug 02, 13:15

This is not official. But think the chances it goes to steaming and no theatrical release are going right up. {nm} Peter453 Aug 02, 13:16

Variety article seems more definitive (link inside) bface Aug 02, 14:04

Mayimbe seems to believe it, and he usually has sources he can double-check with... TheWeekendWarrior Aug 02, 13:30

Some rumours HBO Max is getting folded into Discovery and just keeping HBO tab. Zaslav sounds like he is making big changes {nm} Peter453 Aug 02, 13:36

That would be TERRIBLE. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 02, 13:39

Wouldn't they prefer to fold Discovery into HBO Max? Max has much more name recognition than Discovery {nm} JayPrimetown Aug 02, 13:39

WBD's earnings call is after market close on Thursday, so I'd imagine more leaks leading up to it. {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 13:51

I think the most likely explanation? Plans for MKEAT to be the new Batman are toast, and it would be too expensive to reshoot all his scenes {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 13:42

because the test screening reactions while not great, were not OMG this is BATMAN & ROBIN: PART 2 {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 13:43

Got to put it on streaming at least. No announcement after all this time of a theatrical release date seems like they dont have faith in it {nm} Peter453 Aug 02, 13:45
