2021 Movies On HBO Max

2021 is going to be an interesting year. Will it look more like 2020 in terms of how we absorb content? The last year saw us stuck in our homes, and, unfortunately, it’s looking like this current year will be a lot of the same. That means, we probably won’t be risking going to the movie theaters to see new films. After expecting that, Warner Bros. Studios decided to release all of its 2021 films in theaters and on its streaming service, HBO Max, at the same time. That is, for US viewers.
