I agree that's what they are doing, and what they wanted to do long term, virus or not. I disagree with them doing it in this context.
I don't believe whatever gains ATT thinks it can make with HBO Max will equal the potential theatrical profits of some of these films, if given a true 100% cinema-first release. Cinemagoing should be returning to a semblance of normal by the end of next summer. I understand why ATT pulled the trigger on sending WW84 to Max, given it's been delayed a full year already. Matrix 4 though? Suicide Squad 2? ATT is freaking crazy to disregard the box-office potential of a full theatrical release. I am confident there will be pent-up demand for audiences to return to cinemas once it's safe to do so.
V: welp, the new WB regime really does appear to be that dumb. will release entire 2021 slate on HBO Max and theatrical Dec 03, 10:36
Wow... WW84 $15 call/put. Would have been $100 if not for COVID. {nm} Dec 03, 11:02
Wow, this didn't age well ;) (n/m) {nm} Sep 30, 20:43
Official HBO Max trailer Dec 03, 11:10
Sweet...I don't sign in for an hour and lose $27m hahahaha!! Good thing real stocks have news and price alerts! :) {nm} Dec 03, 11:21
The fastest swing I’ve ever seen on this site. (Nm) Dec 03, 11:39
Swinging too far in the wrong direction. {nm} Dec 03, 11:25
the thing about AT&T is it's an internet company and apparently has no interest in being an actual film studio {nm} Dec 03, 11:26
They don't get a free pass for mismanaging their assets just because corporate is internet-driven. {nm} Dec 03, 11:57
i'm saying they don't see it as mismanaging. this seems to have been the plan all along in acquiring Time-Warner, {nm} Dec 03, 12:07
*ATT, not Time-Warner {nm} Dec 03, 12:12
COVID is a pretext for what they appear to have wanted to do all along with the TW assets {nm} Dec 03, 12:19
I agree that's what they are doing, and what they wanted to do long term, virus or not. I disagree with them doing it in this context. Dec 03, 12:33
Not quite. SImultaneous Streaming will dramatically undercut the potential for theatrical gross. Dec 03, 11:39
Oops, meant for hurricanekid's response {nm} Dec 03, 11:40
BILL3 made $3.4M, so no on close to zero. {nm} Dec 03, 11:48
Compared to where it was trading only 3 months prior? I'd have to disagree. Dec 03, 11:58
The point is not what they're trading at, but how much these movies will make, .which won't be close to zero. {nm} Dec 03, 12:29
You have an odd take on almost everything on this site. c'est la vie {nm} Dec 03, 12:53
It's not odd to call out exaggerations. {nm} Dec 03, 13:00
Compared to 100 or even 50 -that's close enough to call it that {nm} Dec 03, 12:28
We'll see what happens with WOND2, but there are people who will watch on the biggest screen possible. {nm} Dec 03, 12:32
Post has nothing to do with WOND2 {nm} Dec 03, 16:17
cool. and not dumb. as a trial, in the current situation, theres not anything better they could have done. {nm} Dec 03, 12:00
if the vaccine rollout proceeds as forecast, US theaters could be back to full capacity (or near full) by summer {nm} Dec 03, 12:06
1. no way vaccine rollout happens smoothly. 2. audiences going to be slow to go back regardless {nm} Dec 03, 12:16
lol, have you seen how people are already acting even without a vaccine? {nm} Dec 03, 12:18
I don't think audiences will be all that slow to go back to theaters once things are safe next year. Dec 03, 12:36
2020 just went from bad to worse (SCREW YOU WARNER BROS {nm} Dec 04, 03:26
