Not even all their movies. The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard just went up, and is HD only, not 4K. HBO Max was going at providing 4K for the day-and-date simultaneous streaming & theatrical releases, but that's done now, so they may not be as good providing 4K versions of movies going forward.

The Outsiders are also 4K. Any of the films that were simultanously released in theaters and HBO Max are being readded in 4K.
The only exceptions are from other studios: 20th Centurys Ron Gone Wrong is HD on HBO Max but 4K on Disney+. The Hitmans Wifes Bodyguard is from Lionsgate.
No, Peacock does not support or have 4K content. I know because I watched Kills on the last day and it was 1080p/DD 5.1 but had new extras added.

re: Max Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
4K has been underwhelming to me for the most part- it's nice to have but isn't as big a leap forward as SD to HD was. I watched Ford Vs. Ferrari on HBO Max in HD and it was likely the best picture quality I've ever seen via streaming- no compression artifacts whatsoever and a flawless picture overall, if you had told me that was 4K I would've believed you. If I liked the movie enough I would've bought it on 4K disc and seen if that looked any better.

FYI, a bunch of the CNN documentaries are leaving at the end of the month like The 70s, The 80s, The 90s, The 2000s, the movies and more. If you haven’t seen some of these, better hurry.

My Max has been a real piece of shit the last few days. I keep getting the three dots on the bottom. I was finally able to watch Peacemaker after letting it sit for five minutes, but I’ve given up on the other stuff I tried.
it’s certainly not an internet issue. All my other apps on my Sony tv work fine.

I had the same issue with my Roku Ultra a couple days. It's mostly cleared up though.

re: Max Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
My HBO Max app on Roku has been acting up, too, for a while now. There are issues when I pause (sometimes the screen starts flickering between the app and the Roku home screen) and then when I try to resume a paused show the screen will often just go black and the app freezes up. Then the only thing I can do is go back to the Roku home screen and start the HBO app up again.

Ok... wasn't just me. My app (through Sony TV) updated and has a slightly new interface and I had playback issues last night.

After HBO Drops Off Amazon Prime, WarnerMedia Intros HBO Max 50% Off Deal For All New or Former Customers
WarnerMedia is trying to help offset the loss of about 5 million HBO subscribers who had signed up through Amazon in the U.S. with an aggressive discount offer on HBO Max.
As of Sept. 15, HBO subscriptions through Amazon Prime Video Channels officially shut down. But WarnerMedia is angling to get those customers back: Starting Friday, those who accessed HBO via Prime Video Channels as well as all new and returning HBO Max subscribers in the U.S. can sign up for the premium HBO Max ad-free monthly plan at a 50% discount.
The new limited-time promotion lets eligible customers get HBO Max for $7.49/month for six months; after that, the rate goes up to the regular $14.99/month. WarnerMedia began promoting the deal Friday on hbomax.com; customers also can sign up through Apple, Google, LG, Microsoft, Sony, Roku and Vizio.
The 50% off deal is available in the U.S. only through Sept. 26, and is squarely targeted at Amazon Prime users who have just lost access to HBO and HBO Max.
