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

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
