Ever since the decision had been proclaimed of hybrid release by Warner Bros, tonnes of reactions have come in. Recently, Christopher Nolan blasted at the studio for its decision to release 2021 films in theatres as well as on HBO Max. He stated it to be the insult of filmmakers and the entire team who work to give viewers an unmatchable big screen experience. Now, amidst all such criticism, WarnerMedia has finally opened up by backing the decision.
WarnerMedia CEO, Jason Kilar is very positive about releasing studio’s theatrical slate on HBO Max at the same time. He states that one should take it in a positive way, as consumer will get two choices of viewing. He also speaks on the reality of pandemic and the uncertainty of getting back to normalcy.
In a talk with Variety, Jason Kilar says, “In the case of WarnerMedia, this means that we need to talk about the fan. Let’s talk about the customer. And let’s talk about the amazing things that we can do on their behalf. That really is what our business comes down to, which is how can we move the world through story, which, of course, is very firmly focused on the fan. Unfortunately, we don’t think that the world will snap back to the way it was on a magic date, in April, or June, or September.”
