Hollywood Directors Plan to Boycott Warner Bros

Kapanlagi.com - Hollywood directors will boycott Warner Bros regarding their plan to release films through HBO Max.The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has made many Hollywood film studios think of ways to avoid significant losses.Warner Bros is no exception.

Recently, the film studio that produced WONDER WOMAN 1984 plans to launch its film, which is scheduled to be released in 2021, on 2 platforms - theaters and HBO Max.Initially, this dual-platform release plan was only intended for WONDER WOMAN 1984 but Warner Bros felt that it was suitable to be used in 2021.This has sparked reactions from film enthusiasts, especially directors.

1. Without Confirmation

According to reports from The New York Times, many actors and film agencies were not informed about Warner Bros' plan. Only actress Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins were aware of this plan, as the dual-platform release plan was initially for their film, WONDER WOMAN 1984.

From the directors' perspective, Warner Bros' decision is highly detrimental to them. The directors have already prepared their films for theatrical release. They have poured all their thoughts into the film. According to director Christopher Nolan, Warner Bros' decision is highly irrational. He even dares to call HBO Max a 'mediocre' streaming platform.

2. No Response Yet

Despite receiving criticism from various parties and facing boycott plans, Warner Bros has not responded until now. However, whatever their response will be, they have already hurt the film industry.

Warner Bros is now considered to have damaged their relationship with many renowned Hollywood directors. With their unilateral plan, many Hollywood directors are reluctant to collaborate with them. Perhaps if Warner Bros prioritized theatrical releases, Hollywood directors could forgive Warner Bros.
