Warner Bros. releasing Conjuring 3, Malignant, and more on HBO Max!

Huh, so this is interesting. It seems that Warner Bros., due to the current global pandemic, has decided to release their entire 2021 blockbuster slate simultaneously to theaters and streaming on HBO Max – which includes horror films like Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It and Malignant, as well as genre films like Godzilla vs. Kong, Dune, and Mortal Kombat – starting December 25th with Wonder Woman 1984.

Here's what WarnerMedia chair and CEO Ann Sarnoff had to say about this development:

We’re living in unprecedented times which call for creative solutions, including this new initiative for the Warner Bros. Pictures Group…No one wants films back on the big screen more than we do. We know new content is the lifeblood of theatrical exhibition, but we have to balance this with the reality that most theaters in the U.S. will likely operate at reduced capacity throughout 2021.

With this unique one-year plan, we can support our partners in exhibition with a steady pipeline of world-class films, while also giving moviegoers who may not have access to theaters or aren’t quite ready to go back to the movies the chance to see our amazing 2021 films…We see it as a win-win for film lovers and exhibitors, and we’re extremely grateful to our filmmaking partners for working with us on this innovative response to these circumstances.

So what do you guys think? Good idea, or bad? Either way, sound off below!
