hbo max has become one of the platforms with the largest increase in the number of users in recent months, but in recent days there have been strong rumors about its disappearance and everything is based on one fact: the merger between warnermedia (original owner of HBO) and Opening.
As one remembers, Warner Bros. Discovery – the new name of the company, the deal with which was estimated at 43 billion dollars. And internal restructuring has direct consequences, especially with hbo max and its production.
What’s going on with HBO Max?
In visible light, original HBO products disappear from the platform. Witches, Pickled in Time, Locked Up, Dreams of Mars, Overmind D Kings of Baltimore these are names that will no longer be in service and which, according to Diversitythey leave without notifying their users.
But the same thing happens with big productions. hbo max already announced that eight original films Harry Potter they will leave the platform at the end of August this month.
liquidation hbo max Warner Bros films. may be part of the WBD’s move to remove the obligation to pay for streaming content for underperforming films.
Will HBO Max disappear?
Warner Bros. Discovery owns one of the world’s deepest libraries with nearly 200,000 hours of cult programming and will bring together over 100 of the world’s most loved, popular and trusted brands in a global portfolio including: HBO, Warner Bros., Discovery, DC, CNN, WB Games, Turner Sports, Cartoon Network, HGTV, Food Network, TNT, TBS, Turner Classic Movies, Wizarding World, Adult Swim, Eurosport, Magnolia, TLC, Animal Planet, ID and more.
During the completion of the merger, it was noted that hbo max will be merged into a single platform along with Discovery+ to be able to collect all this content in one place.
However, it is not known which of the platforms will take precedence, but the movement of the organizational structure shows that Discovery plays a more important internal role than warnermedia. For example, shortly before the closing of the merger, the CEO warnerMedia, Jason Kilar has announced his retirement.
So far, these are all rumors, but the company is really undergoing restructuring. The most reasonable thing is to wait for official information about any movement of the platform.
