[U]sers report that there is no AD in this [HBO Max] App, and it is not very accessible.
Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) Operating Volumes and Statistics (volumes in thousands) [as of 6/30/21] — HBO Max – Wholesale [Domestic]: 31,451; HBO Max – Retail [Domestic]: 12,077; International HBO Max and HBO Subscribers: 20,498
Universal Pictures and Sony Pictures have begun negotiating with streaming services and cable networks to license their next round of theatrical movies for home video, starting with films set to be released in 2022.
Also in June, the company expects to launch in the U.S. market an advertising-supported (AVOD) version of HBO Max.
(the 2019 extension [covering HBO Max programming which launched in 2020] is a five-year deal, we were told)
Cineworld and Warner Bros have also hatched a multi-year agreement that will see the No. 2 global exhibitor show the studio's 2021 theatrical and HBO Max day-and-date titles in the U.S. as of their theatrical release. Then, beginning in 2022, Warner Bros theatrical films will have a 45-day window of theatrical exclusivity at Cineworld's Regal chain.
Current HBO Max subscribers will keep their existing HBO Max plan features for at least 6 months after Max launches.
This is the very start, and HBO Max will "expand these capabilities to further films and TV series, as well as adding support for additional devices, throughout 2021."
The main difference between the ad-supported tier and the normal plan is access to same-day theatrical releases, Kilar added. Customers on the ad-supported plan won't be able to watch Dune on HBO Max when it lands, for example. Kilar also confirmed that ads won't play on HBO original titles like Euphoria, The Sopranos, and Game of Thrones.
