HBO Max Trailer Shows New Footage From Almost All WB 2021 Movies - Screen Rant

A new HBO Max trailer shows off new footage from almost all the films on Warner Bros. 2021 slate. All of WB's films will be hitting HBO Max and theaters simultaneously at no extra charge for subscribers. Each of the films will remain on the platform for a month before being removed. Wonder Woman 1984 was the first of WB's films to do this, premiering on the streaming platform over the Christmas holiday. WB has remained vague about how well it did, even after it was removed from the platform on January 24.

The next film to hit the streamer is The Little Things, a 90s set detective story starring Jared Leto, Denzel Washington, and Rami Malek. Following that up will be Oscar hopeful Judas and the Black Messiah and Tom & Jerry before the next major blockbuster, Godzilla vs Kong. The decision to release their slate on HBO Max ignited a firestorm of controversy in the industry that has largely died down as studios begin to reckon with the mess that is the 2021 release calendar.

While other studios debate whether or not to delay their biggest films, WB and HBO Max are continuing to promote their upcoming releases. A new trailer for HBO Max shows off footage from almost all of the films coming to the platform. New footage from Mortal Kombat, Suicide Squad, Many Saints of Newark, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and Angelina Jolie starrer Those Who Wish Me Dead is shown off in the trailer. Also previewed are Dune, The Matrix 4, and In The Heights.

WB's decision to release all of their films on HBO Max may have been controversial, but it's also a smart move considering what is happening to the rest of 2021's releases. Disney recently delayed seven of their 20th Century Fox holdover films and Daniel Craig's fifth and final film as James Bond, No Time to Die, was delayed until October. With all of that, 2021 is beginning to look like the early months of the pandemic and any hopes of the box office recovering this year are quickly being dashed.

Still, it's unclear if WB's big gamble will pay off. It's clearly a transparent move to bolster their fledgling streaming service and it's unclear if it will continue beyond 2021. If there are no plans to continue with this release model, HBO Max will have to continue pushing out content that will keep subscribers and there's a clear effort to do that. A Sex and the City revival is currently on the way, as is a Gossip Girl reboot. HBO is also investing in several Game of Thrones prequels that will likely air on HBO, but will also live on the platform. It's too early to tell if WB's HBO Max plan will pay off, but all eyes will be on the platform throughout the year as some of the studio's biggest movies make waves on the streamer.
