Wonder Woman Out Dec 16th

They're trying simultaneous release which is different to the 90 day thing.

Simultaneous... for a month. Then it'll leave the streaming service for a while.

Idk if they can make it work as they were charginging $30 for a movie on ppv.

Not bad if you can fill your house to watch movie. Not so great in a pandemic.

$30 PPV was not a great deal for the consumer. But HBO Max costs $15/month. For new subscribers, it's $12/month for the first six months right now. In a major metropolitan area in the US, that's about the price of one movie ticket, and will get you not just the big movie of the month, but a bunch of other stuff. If you are going to want to watch those movies, HBO Max is a steal.

Idk how long AMC, Regal etc can hold out for. AMCs stock plummeted when WB announced the HBO deal.

As previously noted - if AMC, Regal, etc fail, someone else will buy the theaters and put them into business once we have control of the thing. There is too much money on the line for that to not happen.

4 weeks is plenty of time movies make most if their money first 3 weekends anyway.

HBO Max isn't available in a lot of places and you'll be able to pirate it almost as soon as it goes up.

Most pirated movie of all time?

In terrible with superhero movies. Only saw WW, Aquaman and MCU last year or so when they turned up on Netflix and Disney +.

They're trying simultaneous release which is different to the 90 day thing.

back in July there was an announcement that Universal Studios and AMC had come to terms with a deal that allowed the studio to make their films available for home viewing 17 days after their theatrical release sent shock waves through the industry.

I think the 90 days is over....

The year 2020 has been disastrous for many industries, film exhibitors among them. However, things got much worse for AMC, Marcus Theaters, Regal Cinemas and their brethren on Thursday with

My neighborhood's theater is indeed being converted into office space. The commercial development it's been in has long struggled to keep tenants, though. About the only thing that's lasted is a Cheesecake Factory. And well, until now the movie theater.

Unlikely, given the timescales involved. Major theaters will be zoned for commercial use, not residential. Getting re-zoned is a notable process, and is apt to take longer than the pandemic will last (given effective vaccines, fingers crossed).

Yeah without the 90 day things it looks bad for movie theatres.

If Disney goes down the screw the theatres path?

Yeah, my point doesn't speak to properties that have been troubled for long periods of time before the pandemic. I'm talking about theaters owned by theater chains that go under entirely, not individually troubled locations.

Couple of months ago. No real surprises covers a few topics bit yeah streaming alone at $30 price point doesn't work (so far).

Patty Jenkins On ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ Move To HBO Max And Theatrical: “There Was No Good Option”

Before WarnerMedia’s decision last week to move Warner Bros’ entire 2021 feature film slate to HBO Max along with their theatrical releases, the company made the same move with its DC tentpole Wonder Woman 1984. The sequel to the 2017 hit will still premiere in cinemas on December 25, but now...
