Earlier this month, the studio announced it wouldrelease 17 major films on HBO Maxand in movie theaters at the same time next year, includingDune, Suicide Squad 2andThe Matrix 4. Those movies, among many others, will be available on HBO Max exclusively to subscribers for one month before they’re taken off and only available in movie theaters.
Some certain filmmakers criticized the decision.The Dark KnightdirectorChristopher Nolanrecentlytold PEOPLEthat the shift in gears for the major movie studio has “upset a lot of people.”
“Because other than the fact that it’s not a very rational business decision,” Nolan, 50, said, “the way in which they did it — they didn’t tell any of the filmmakers or any of the movie stars involved in those projects for 2021. These were people who spent years engaged on projects that were intended to be releases for the big screen and for home video worldwide.”
