Intrigued to see what Disney announces today, especially considering it's a four hour event.

Wow, even Comcast/NBCUni won't follow up on AT&T's mass dump.

WarnerMedia won't cause an industry shake-up: Other studios unlikely to end theatrical window in 2021
WarnerMedia's biggest legacy media streaming rivals will probably let HBO Max be the industry's guinea pig with its 2021 movie release strategy.

Which is really disappointing. ATT/WB screwed the pooch here.

What they did was openly tell Hollywood creatives and the theater business that they will screw whoever they can just to get people to pay $15 a month for movies that are mediocre at best.

Hey can I borrow that crystal ball you used to see about the quality of movies that haven't come out yet.

Outside of The Suicide Squad and Godzilla vs. Kong (the latter of which WB had little to do with), little if anything about WB's slate in 2021 looks noteworthy.Hey can I borrow that crystal ball you used to see about the quality of movies that haven't come out yet.

Ahhh, it was opinion. Ok, carry on.

Duh, this was the plan even before the pandemic. Once ESPN+ rolled out, the Fox merger was done and Disney+ blew out of the open, the old Disney was pretty much signaled to be dead.

Looking at the list, I'm pretty interested in:
- The Little Things (Denzel!)
- Judas and the Black Messiah
- Many Saints of Newark
- Reminiscence (Hugh Jackman!)
- Godzilla vs Kong (I have no expectations on this, but I'm all for watching a fight)
- In The Heights (Lin-Manuel Miranda!)
- Space Jam 2 (YES!)
- Suicide Squad (YES!)
- Dune (YES!)
- King Richard (Father of Venus/Serena will be a must watch, with Will Smith in it)
- Matrix 4 (YES!)
- Mortal Kombat (Why not?)

Only about two or three of those movies would be surefire box office hits had they not been sacrificed to the streaming gods.
WB's box office record last year was awful. Only It: Chapter Two and Joker were blockbusters, and none of them were released during the summer.

I'm not going to die on the WB hill, but they were #2 behind only Disney (surprise, surprise) and they also had Detective Pikachu and Shazam which would qualify as hits ($450 million, $365 million WW). They were down 20% compared to 2018.
