Warner Bros. Pictures has announced that it will release its entire 2021 theatrical slate — which includes such anticipated titles as The Matrix 4, Dune and The Suicide Squad — direct to HBO Max, the same day they hit theaters.
Warner Bros. previously announced that Wonder Woman 1984 will be available to stream on HBO Max on Dec. 25 (aka Christmas Day), the same day it is released in select American theaters.
With most U.S. theaters likely to continue operating at a reduced capacity in 2021, this new distribution model allows Warner Bros. to continue to release blockbuster titles without delaying Stateside releases.
