It seems like someone at Warner Bros. agreed because now, after announcing last November that Magic MIke’s Last Dance would debut on HBO Max, the company has now reversed course and decided to release it in theaters first, with a premium VOD release to follow, followed eventually by a streaming debut on HBO Max.
It never made sense to me that you would make a third Magic Mike film and release it on streaming instead of in theaters.
Apparently in the case of Magic Mike’s Last Dance, you need no additional expansion to make it big-screen ready.
Magic Mike’s Last Dance will premiere in theaters on February 10, 2023.
