The agreement between HBO Max and Crave only covers the HBO Max original productions, like Raised by Wolves and The Flight Attendant.

As of now, it doesn't cover the theatrical releases that Warner Bros. is putting onto HBO Max. I guess we'll see if that changes in 3 weeks when Wonder Woman comes out.

Another good movie worth watching is "My Blue Heaven". Steve Martin is a mob informant who gets relocated under the witness protection program. Rick Moranis plays the FBI agent who has to protect him

They already said it’s USA only.

I did misread but Canada has different distribution rights so I wouldn’t bank on it.

Also from the article I posted

Already, Crave has confirmed that Warner’s Wonder Woman 1984, whose Dec. 25 theatre-and-HBO Max release was announced two weeks ago as a trial balloon for this new 2021-slate strategy, will only be available for streaming after “its standard theatrical window” – that is, 90 days.

"A Time To Kill" is a court room drama from the 90's. As a defense attorney McConaughey was tasked with defending a black man who killed 2 young men who had beaten and raped the black mans mans daughter. The defense used was criminally insane. Matthew McConaughey had his best moment as an actor as he presented his closing statement to the jury. The ending scene was brilliant!

Do you want your movies to get pirated? Because that's how you get your movies pirated.

They have to know what the rest of the world will do...

That may help a lot.

Must have only caught 2 of every 3 lines of dialogue in theater. What's with Nolan films and the audio mixing? Especially with the importance that hinges on catching what the characters are saying.

You make cool, complex and original films and we appreciate that. But make it easier on your audience, man!

Exxxxxcellent.

There is nothing I hate more (when watching a movie) than watching it in a theatre.

People. Are. The. Worst.

Has anybody ever asked him about that? It’s not really the first time he has unintelligible characters in his films.

I'm still pissed off about Tenet, don't even know if I want to give it a second chance

Huge Nolan fan and love everything he's done but ###### did I ever hate it. Was recently listening to a podcast with a movie reviewer, during the final battle scene he started laughing because he had no idea who the enemies in military gear were or what was going on. Now that I think about it, I can't remember either or care to try to remember.

Very shortsighted. They must not like maximizing their profits. If they're worried about movies not doing well outside of the USA then they should make better movies. If it's going to fail in the rest of the world it's going to fail in the USA too.

Not only that, most of the characters in the movies have accents.
