HBO Max users woke up with six fewer original movies on their platform: Moonshot, Superintelligence, The Witches, An American Picke, Locked Down and Charm City Kings. Given this, it began to be rumored yes and the answer is yes and there will be gradual changes in the catalogs around the world.
HBO Max is the streaming service that was formed under the WarnerMedia entertainment division. It was launched in the United States on May 27, 2020 and in Latin America it arrived in July 2021. It was created mainly to host content from the HBO group of premium channels.
But now, WarnerMedia and Discovery have come together as one company called Warner Bros. Discovery and here’s how it’s going to work.
What is Warner Bros. Discovery?
, Warner Bros. Discovery is a global media and entertainment company that offers television, film, streaming and video game services.
Now, the new venture combines Warner Media’s premium entertainment, news and sports content with Discovery’s nonfiction, entertainment and sports content.
Will the HBO Max catalog change?
In Mexico there is still no official position on what the catalog will be like. However, in a statement sent to Expansión, the platform mentioned: “We are continually evaluating our streaming offer for our consumers and part of that process includes the removal of selected content.”
However, this does not mean that Discovery content will already be fully available on the platform. The official page mentions that they are still working on the new proposal to “delight fans of both streaming platforms” and that it will be a change that will be reported in the coming months.
On the other hand, at this time there will not be a new joint application of both platforms either. However, they recommend keeping an eye on the announcements and that any changes will be reported in advance.
The page also mentions that there will be no immediate changes in the subscriptions or billing of HBO Max and Discovery + and that, as users, it is not yet necessary to make any changes in the consumption habits of both platforms.
It is worth mentioning that, tomorrow, the quarterly report from Warner Media is expected.
