12月4日,华纳传媒于当地时间周四宣布,2021年将取消院线30天院线窗口期,旗下子公司华纳兄弟的所有新电影将在影院与流媒体平台HBO Max同步上映。
华纳2021年在北美上映的全部17部电影,其中包括《沙丘》《哥斯拉大战金刚》这两部传奇影业为主要资方的影片,都将在HBO Max上以4K超高清和HDR格式播放。HBO Max的付费用户无需再支付额外费用,即可与院线同步观看到这些影片。
华纳高层表示目前此操作只针对2021年,“像一个特殊的一年计划”,因为他们预估整个2021年北美影院都不能满员开放。但北美之外这些电影仍将是院线独占,而且这些电影只会在HBO Max上播放1个月。
尽管有这些限制条件,且华纳表示仍将保持与AMC和Regal等影院发行商的合作关系,但消息公布后,院线股还是纷纷遭遇重创,其中AMC下跌超过17%。
至于这个决定是否会延续至2021年以后的时间,华纳传媒CEO杰森·基拉尔拒绝透漏。“毫无疑问这与疫情相关。这就是我们这么做的原因。但我们还没有想过2022年的世界会是什么样,我很早以前就学会,不要就一年以后的事情去发表看法。”
