Christopher Nolan has slammed Warner Bros.’ after the studio’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:bombshell announcement that their whole 2021 slate of movies would debut simultaneously on HBO Max and in cinemas. It’s safe to say that the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Inception and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dunkirk director is not happy with Warner 🐽Bros.’ decis♔ion.

“Some of our industry’s biggest filmmakers and most important mov🥀ie stars went to bed the night before thinking they were working for the greatest movie studio and woke up to find out they were working for the worst streaming service,” Nolan told .

Nolan campaigned hard to get his latest movie, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Tenet, shown🍬 in cinemas earlier this year when cinemas were only just be🦹ginning to reopen after worldwide Covid-19 lockdowns – he’s a director who feels strongly about the value of the theatrical experience.

Warner Bros.’ hybrid release plan had already been put in motion for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wonder Woman 1984, and there had been talk of other upcoming movies following suit next year – but no one expected all the studio's releas𝐆es (including Dune, The Matrix 4 and The Suicide Squad) to go down the same r♛oute. 

“Warner Bros. had an incredible machine for getting a filmmaker’s work out everywhere, both in theatres and in the home, and they are dismantling it as we speak,” Nolan added. “They don’t even understand wha♍t they’re losing. Their decision makes no economic sense, and even the most casual Wall Street investor can see the difference between disruption and dysfunction.”

The US’ biggest 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:cinema chain, AMC, has also hit out at the studio. “Clearly, Warner Media intends to sacrifice a considerable portion of the profitability of its movie studio division, and that of iꦓts production partners and filmmakers, to subsi🃏dise its HBO Max startup. As for AMC, we will do all in our power to ensure that Warner does not do so at our expense,” said CEO Adam Aron.

This is an uncertain time for the movie industry, and only time will tell what the repercussions of this year’s events will be. Assuming there aren’t any other bombshells on the horizon, here’s our list of the other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies to look forward to next year.
