"End-scripted content" this doesnt sound like what the quote is saying.
I'd wait for more info before overeacting.

Doesn't this completely fuck James Gunn? All his DC projects are likely done. Most that could happen is Peacemaker somehow survives on HBO proper.

If they are truly scrapping everything related to DC then not even Reeves' Batman is safe? Am I getting that right?
Quinn could move to Adult Swim if it gets renewed. It already airs on AS as an original in some countries like Canada.The question is does Hacks, Flag, Harley Quinn survive? Same day/Next Day stream release still a thing?
makes sense. hbo max never really succeeded despite being a good service. the day and date movie thing fucked them over and most of their originals outside a few like our flag means death or peacemaker were never popular. there is a reason why they reported hbo subscribers alongside hbo max subscribers in that 70 million figure. you figure if the streaming service was making strong headway in the streaming space they would flaunt their success but nope. there was always an asterisk attached.
And it's much cheaper to makeI don't know if that's true. Netflix has pivoted quite a bit to docs and reality stuff. I know this place is not the audience for it but that doesn't mean there isn't.
I wouldn't call the headline "clickbait" but it's a bit misleading, they are rolling everything into the HBO proper world and getting rid of the separate "HBO Max" pipeline which was always weird to begin with..
HBO itself will be fine- that will continue as usual, though again expect more quick cancelations if they don't like what they see early based on his past with running Discovery content. Barry wasn't a Max show, nor Succession. Those are still firmly under the banner of "prestige tv" according to how they seem to be approaching the whole thing.As long as HBO sticks around long enough to finish Barry and Succession that's alright with me.
The reading comprehension on display in this thread is not great...
Man, fingers crossed for the staff and any non-Peacemaker/Cable TV show right now
Hell, I feel like even they may be on some borrowed time because I would not be surprised if this new CEO started taking a closer look at divisions like HBO cable or gaming and be like "we're spending *how* much??" and it all goes downhill from there
HBO wasn't even doing that even before Max was a thing. This isn't going to go back to cable. You will be able to stream shows. Yes something like House of Dragons will "launch" new eps on Sundays but that was always going to be the case, and that's exactly what every other streaming service other than Netflix does.
I better hurry up and watch Hacks season 2 and Winning Time before they disappear.
I get why people are reacting to all of this the way they are, but until we get more information tomorrow, people are definitely overblowing the situation.The new service will have the entirety of Warner Bros. Discovery. 'WarnerMax,' or whatever name they choose, will be HBO Max + Discovery+, as Zaslav has said numerous times.
This won't just be Discovery+. Zaslav just met with a certain author, assuredly to talk about the future of one of the biggest WB IP. He wants to expand upon DC and make it a more cohesive competitor to Marvel Studios. Head of HBO Content is getting a more senior role. It will not just be unscripted TV shows.
HBO isn't dying.
I am. That's not an actual concern.
Fuck, that's my question too. I can't see us continuing to get it for free.We get HBOMAX for free since we pay for HBO on cable. Is that going away?
So for us that get free HBO Max via AT&T we are screwed, aren't we?
If they are truly scrapping everything related to DC then not even Reeves' Batman is safe? Am I getting that right?
It's listed under their Max banner, but then again now that I look at the individual pictures of the shows, Winning Time says HBO Original instead of Max Original.
No, I wouldn't say so- the confusion I think was what this meant for HBO. Seemingly nothing- Max was a separate conjoined branch of HBO content + Max content. They're cutting Max and folding whatever they choose to keep into Discovery+ while HBO will remain it's own thing.first big streaming bubble pop?
Sad too because in our country we just got HBO Max… It is interesting though to see where this leads
Bottom line they are still cutting 70% of the HBO max content/development so while HBO will still create scripted content the overall content is still going to be down significantly. Also just wait until HBO starts getting the hammer. Considering what's happening HBO is going to start leaning back as well and canceling things a lot fasterBy "end scripted content for HBO MAx," this sounds worded to mean they won't launch HBO Max exclusive scripted content, but instead will rely on HBO's scripted content for HBO Max.
"Sounds like they're not doing HBO Max scripted shows anymore with HBO taking over"
For a lot of customers I don't think they even know that HBO Max has exclusive scripted content.
I think this is the list of exclusive scripted content available only on HBO Max:
Max was Warner's attempt at expanding content to support a streaming service. They slapped the HBO label on it but it was not the same thing as HBO proper which continued to operate separately. Max is being gutted. HBO proper is not and as of now there are no indications it will be.
What you need is a diversity of content for everybody in the home, and they may come in for Euphoria [from HBO], but our research shows that people watch Euphoria, their favorite second show to watch is 90 Day Fiance [from TLC]. Having a diversity of content is a reason why people are spending hours with Discovery+…when you put all of this diversity of content together, there is content for kids, there is content for teens, it's basically everybody in the family, why would you go anywhere else. We have all the movies, we have all of the library content that you want…
If you look at HBO right now, what it really needs is precisely what we have. When they are finished with watching Winning Time, they can go and watch Friends or watch Big Bang or watch their favorite movie or go over and watch Oprah or watch some TLC shows just for fun. So, we believe and we see this in Europe where we tried to offer, we thought that the answer was just to offer niche high quality that you get high-quality shock and all content together with a lot of nutrition, in our case in Europe, together with sport and you offer something that everybody in the family uses, and the churn goes way down, it's much harder to churn out of a product when your kids use it or your significant other uses it or your mom and dad are watching, but also if you find yourself watching it more often. So, I think it's precisely why we did this deal. And I think everything tells us that it's going to make us stronger and more compelling because of the breadth of the quality menu of IP that we have.
I don't know if that's true. Netflix has pivoted quite a bit to docs and reality stuff. I know this place is not the audience for it but that doesn't mean there isn't.
Yep. Every company can't support a streaming service forever and I expect in the future more companies will take the Sony approach, which I'm surprised hasn't happened sooner.Netflix is the only "big streaming" site that only deals with creative content driving subscriptions as its main source of revenue.
Apple TV, Disney+, and Amazon Prime video are all subsidized by their parent companies.
Netflix has more subscribers than the next three streaming sites combined, but have 1 shrinking quarter and it's the end of the world. The model is probably just not sustainable as is

Streaming definitely isn't sustainable longterm, but people are not going back to broadcast TV either, so I don't know what that looks like in 10 years or so.Netflix is the only "big streaming" site that only deals with creative content driving subscriptions as its main source of revenue.
