It’s that tenet was such an abysmal failure and was so expensive to make. The studios need to try creative moves to survive. If the data was in favor of waiting for wide theatrical release, they would. A move like this is as greedy as any other. Except they’re not charging extra nor pushing release dates further and further to ensure higher profits so, idc seems way less greedy to me than $30 per movie on top of a streaming subscription Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBO Max desparately needs subscribers, so that's probably why they're doing this. 🦠🧙♀️🥀📸🎉👻🕺🧟💊💖☎️🔪👤🐺🌱🌎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GovernmentHookah 897 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Another possibility for this move is that they may increase the prices on streaming service subscriptions in order to recoup some kind of profit. I’m no finance guru but the money has to come from somewhere if Hollywood wants to continue on financing these elaborate projects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A side effect is that it helps consumers like us, but I guess internally, they saw that this was the only feasible way for them to get any revenue, so they did it. HBO Max is also like the most expensive streaming service, so they want as many subscribers as possible. 🦠🧙♀️🥀📸🎉👻🕺🧟💊💖☎️🔪👤🐺🌱🌎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoanneMonster 8,953 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 But... why? I don't know about the U.S but cinemas are open in other countries. And it has been said that most of the countries (that bought the vaccine) will be vaccinated by summer, I don't get the point of not releasing the movies on the cinema from summer forward I See You Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so glad they are still getting theatrical releases though, The Matrix is one of my favourite films and this sequel will be the first I'd get to see in cinemas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
