It would be great to have another big new movie on HBO Max for Halloween.
Now, in a surprise, the film will instead debut on Warners’ new streaming service, HBO Max — and it’s coming in a matter of weeks.
The Witches, from director Robert Zemeckis and based on the popular book by Roald Dahl, was originally scheduled to open in theaters on October 9, 2020.
Another big movie is skipping theaters altogether and heading straight to streaming.
