Due to the pandemic, big movie releases have experienced multiple delays. Studios have been hoping that things will turn around enough that their movies can premiere as intended — on the big screen.
Warner Bros. made a game-changing move at the end of 2020 by introducing an innovative strategy to reach consumers during the pandemic. They made a commitment to release the entire 2021 film slate on HBO Max the same day they hit theaters. So you can get the theater experience if you want, or catch all the great movies in the comfort of your own home with HBO Max on Fire TV.
$14.99 a month for HBO Max will get you all the new premieres all year long, plus all of HBO and exclusive Max Originals. Each same day premiere will stream on HBO Max for 31 days from its theatrical release. Films and release dates subject to change.
And now, without further ado, here are the dates and deets for the Warner Bros. 2021 Same Day Premieres.
