A one month subscription to HBO Max costs $14.99, and that’s definitely cheaper than the expense of a whole family making a trip to the cinema.
It’s a great sign for the industry as we slowly get closer to things getting back to a semblance of normalcy.
This very much flies in the face of the suggestion that people will universally opt for the more convenient option – and it’s even more significant that it’s an all-ages release.
While many HBO Max users likely streamed Tom and Jerry this weekend, there was still a considerable portion of the movie-going audience that didn’t want to watch the film at home/subscribe to the service, and instead opted to buy tickets at their local theater instead.
