On December 4, 2020, Warner Bros. announced that new movies such as 'Dune' and 'Matrix 4' scheduled to be released in 2021 will be distributed on the streaming service HBO Max for a limited period of one month at the same time as the theatrical release.

This decision comes after Nolan's 'TENET ' box office revenue, released on September 18, 2020, was less than expected due to the effects of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Is believed to be.

This is the first time a Warner Bros. Pictures movie has been streamed on a streaming service as soon as it's released in theaters. Warner Bros. has announced that this measure is temporary and is expected to stop streaming after 2021.

However, director Nolan, who has been involved in the film industry with Warner Bros. for over 20 years, told overseas film media Hollywood Reporter, 'Some of the greatest filmmakers and film actors in our industry say,'I am. I fell asleep thinking, 'I work in a great movie studio,' and when I woke up, I knew that I was 'working in the worst streaming service.' 'Warner Bros. has a mechanism that allows filmmakers to do a good job anywhere, whether it's in the theater or at home, but they're trying to dismantle it. They're even trying to lose what they're trying to lose. I'm unaware. Their decision doesn't make sense financially, even investors who have just started working on Wall Street understand the difference between turmoil and dysfunction. '



According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros.'s decision was the brainchild of Chief Operating Officer Carolyn Blackwood, but there was no consultation or agreement with relevant parties prior to the announcement. It is reported that sudden contact caused upset and repulsion among actor agents, production companies, and movie theater chains. Warner Bros. also calls streaming distribution a 'limited-time measure,' which is also questionable. In addition, Legendary Pictures has made a large investment in 'Dune ' and ' Godzilla vs. Kong ', so it is expected that it may file a lawsuit against Warner Bros. Pictures.

HBO Max is reported to have reached 12.6 million subscribers as of December 8, 2020, and is rapidly expanding its scale. By 2025, it aims to reach more than 50 million American subscribers and 75-90 million users worldwide.
