Your leader Chris Nolan rips HBOMax as the "worst streaming service"

[Sonic Boom of the South]

audio was the biggest complaint technically. Movie cost reportedly 205 million to make. Add in promotion, etc and the cost rises. Normally you gotta make at least double your production value to recoup. Even making 300 million internationally isn't "good" because you only get to get 20-40% of that international ticket sale depending on your contract. With domestic theaters, it's like half of the ticket revenue.

It definitely didn't make it's money back.

Damm

Nolan can't see the forest for the trees IMO. What is WB supposed to do, just sit on these movies forever?

Tenet should have never came out m, they should have sat on it until next summer/fall minimum.

HBOMAX with no 4K or Dolby atmos can get the

Bad enough going to the movie theater was WOAT tier before the pandemic. Imagine going to a movie theater in the middle of a pandemic to follow redundant ass rules for folks to bytch about and spend 50 dollars for some popcorn and a small cup of soda to see a movie that will be on streaming services within the next week.

Nolan fell entirely off since Inception so his opinion is irrelevant.

 

[TheGodling]

Where is he going to go? Paramount and Sony ain't writing blank checks for him like WB does

Good, maybe those studios can push him to make a decent film again.

And for the record, he's not wrong about this. Nothing about this WB move seems thought through except for "We push everyone to HBO Max".

They are adding 4K with WW84 and all the movies to follow with be in 4K also

Maaaaaaaayne fukk what he talking about.
He still living life as a little kid dreaming of movies on the big screen and babbling on about "experience" He needs to grow up and move on from that line of thinking it's a new day.
nikka WB aint gotta say shyt to those directors or creators. You want your work seen or not? Cause this here theater shyt is dead. So we putting it out the best way possible. He'd be mad if it sat on the shelf for a whole nother year too.

He need to get over himself.

Their interface definitely needs an upgrade. It’s basically the same as Now was, just Purple.
Netflix is the god of interfaces, so smooth.

Max’s library is top notch tho for a service that’s only been around less than a year...

AT&T CEO got smoke for Nolan:

Asked by moderator and UBS analyst John Hodulik about the blowback from Hollywood’s talent community and the exhibition business, Stankey said, “We’re all participants in a market that serves customers. The longer-term impacts are going to be dictated by what consumers wish to do.”

He said the move acknowledges “the reality of where markets are going right now” in the movie business. “Customers have a tremendous amount of choice as to how they choose to engage with content. If we just simply sit here and say, ‘This is about whether or not people go to movie theaters,’ I think we’re missing the broader point. Today, even before WarnerMedia made this decision, customers could go watch great, two-hour content on a variety of competitive services … some of them very significant releases. Customers are going to drive what happens in a market, ultimately.”

As to the post-pandemic world and whether studio release patterns will return to some semblance of the previous ones, Stankey said the company will “adjust and work the model differently.” Overall, though “having choice” will remain a constant, he predicted. “We’re not putting one over the other,” Stankey said of theatrical and streaming. “This to me seems like a very friendly and innovative approach.”

I see nothing wrong with what he said.

Nolan forced WB with TENET and it backfired in Nolan's face

And Warner was always good to Nolan. No other studio is funding and distributing shyt like Dunkirk lol

Can't speak to the deal, but HBO Max is by far the worst viewing interface I've come across in terms of digital streaming

• No option to skip to the very next episode
• No option to jump to any other episode or any other season
• No option to skip ahead 30 seconds
• If/when the episode crashes or you have to restart it, it starts you at the first episode you started watching. So, if you knocked out 3 episodes, you have to manually drag to the end of the episode 3x to get to where you were

TBH, I just jump in and out of streaming services based on new shows being released, but their experience is among the WOAT.

what are you watching on cause the episode/season options are there.

plus the roku thing isnt all on at&t

Stankey is right. These cats that want to hold on to a business model that is not feasible in this current covid environment are delusional. Love Nolan, but he needs to fall back. Refusing to adjust to a changing climate is how COUNTLESS companies have ended up dying.
