Will HBO MAX succeed?

The $15 a month price tag (when most other streaming services are 10 or under) is one point against it, however, it does have a huge library behind it.

It has a compelling variety of stuff on it, for sure.

Does it include currently running shows? Like, can I watch Watchmen later Sunday night or do I have to wait until the end of the season? Because I feel that will end up a big factor. Here in Canada if you subscribe to Crave HBO it gives you access to a stream of the actual HBO Canada channel

It’s not coming to Europe until 2021 and with that animation line up it’ll have, it f***ing better!

From my understanding it'll have all their HBO content (as HBO NOW already does) plus additional libraries and new originals.

HBO Now subscribers will have free access to HBO MAX. Why are they not simply combining the two services? Apparently it'd be an operational nightmare and they have different rights agreements.

It includes actual Hbo. It will probably be another nail in cables coffin. That’s why it’s 15.

It will do as well as hbogo did

Without a new game of thrones though might not do all that well.

Warner should try to consolidate it all on one platform and that should be hbomax with dcu and the planned warner tv streaming service

There is going to be a warner TV streaming service? I thought that was what HBO Max was supposed to be?

It is.

I think DCU isn't currently planned to roll into HBO Max, but it is hard to imagine that not happening at some point. HBO Max is already going to show some DCU content.

I think DCU includes comics too though, so I guess that is one reason to keep them seperate subscriptions.

I mean I understood DCU is separate or is going to be but there was mention of Warner streaming service which makes me think of a third one (ignoring Boomerang )

Here is a prediction

I’m going to guess since Warner Bros. release the movies

They are negotiating with JK Rowling get a live action series based in the Harry Potter universe as a way to compete with Disney’s content like the Mandalorian amd there up coming MCU stuff.
