But yes the tentatively planned theatrical movies are likely to be in 4K. Subject to change of course.

Anyone watching Summer Camp Island? Yes, it says Y7, but darn if it isn't cute with a lot of positive (though not preachy) messaging. Interesting characters and funny.
I've explored some old Looney Tunes as well.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
One thing I do wish they'd remedy is putting Previews/Trailers on ALL the stuff they stream. It's nice having a taste of a film you've never seen and it seems weird to me that some do warrant trailers and others don't and I don't know why. I think it's a pet peeve of mine that spans streaming apps.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
It’s going back to being a theatre exclusive release where theatres are open. Then it will go to $20 to 25 PVOD and then disc. Then it will head to regular HBO. That’s where WB releases usually head.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
I subscribe to HBO Max via Hulu. I wish I could watch all the HBO Max exclusives on Hulu instead of having to use the HBO Max App. I understand Warnermedia wants people to use the HBO Max app, but if I subscribe to it through Hulu and everything is branded as HBO Max on Hulu I should be able to watch everything that HBO Max has in their catalog on Hulu. I know it's a minor complaint, but I can watch the Undoing and tons of HBO movies on Hulu, but I have to go to HBO Max to watch Doom Patrol, Love Life, The Flight Attendant and Wonder Woman 1984... It would be so much more convenient if I could watch everything on Hulu.

My PS4 updated Max caused an error screen and cannot access anything. Apparently this is happening on all platforms .

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
It's in broadcast order, instead of production order like on the discs. There's actually some debate about what order is best, although the broadcast order has the notable oddity of showing The Cat and the Claw Part I first, and then not showing The Cat and the Claw Part II until 7 episodes later.

Does anyone else watch the reality competition Full Bloom? It’s like Top Chef for florists and despite undeniably being one of the gayest shows on TV, I really love watching it. I find the ability to craft stunning works of art out of flowers endlessly fascinating.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
I just noticed that the 20% off six month prepay offer has been extended from 1/15/21 to 3/1/21. This will allow me to take advantage of the deal as I had used old HBO Now cards to pay through January.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
AT&T said the number of activated subscriptions to streaming service HBO Max doubled in the fourth quarter to 17.2 million compared with the third quarter, partly due to the release of Wonder Woman 1984.
The number of overall domestic subscriptions to both regular HBO and HBO Max reached 41.5 million, which the company said was two years ahead of its initial forecasts and up from 34.6 million in the 2019 quarter. Before the May 2020 debut of HBO Max, AT&T said its five-year goal was to get 50 million total U.S. subscribers, and between 75 million to 90 million globally.
While HBO Max costs $15 a month for direct retail subscribers, existing HBO subscribers are entitled to activate their subscriptions at no extra cost. AT&T struggled in the early going with driving those conversions, especially with rivals launching far cheaper streaming alternatives. The company recently decided to substantially up the ante on streaming service (to the consternation of many in Hollywood) by putting the entire 2021 Warner Bros movie release slate on HBO Max at the same time it hits theaters. WW1984 followed that release pattern on Christmas Day. No data on its performance was shared in the earnings release

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
That still seems like a ton of people that have access to the service and don't use it at all (I'm sure they either just watch the HBO channels or they get it for free and haven't bothered to activate it). I'm not sure I'd be boasting about that. "We give our service away for free (with other stuff) and people are either too confused or too complacent to actually log in!"

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
Like you said, I think a decent chunk of people just subscribe to HBO via cable and that’s enough for them. I know that’s what my parents do. They don’t use anything pertaining to streaming.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
The issue I have as well as my parents it that using app versions is cumbersome compared to cable. Cable bundles everything together in one place. While you can do add-ons to services like Hulu (which we use + Live), my parents don’t like flipping apps. If all HBO Max programs were available through Hulu, there’s no doubt they’d use it more.

With cable, you have to remember where the HBO channels are then schedule a DVR or catch it live. I don't see that as easier than remembering to open a different app when you want to watch HBO. Now once they are recorded, they are all in one place, so I can kind of understand that if someone doesn't do their own recording.
