Warner Bros.’ 2021 movies: What will debut on HBO Max and in theaters?

This year couldn’t get much worse, so Warner Bros. has decided to extend the fun into the next one, announcing Thursday that it will release its 2021 movie slate simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max, with only a 31-day run for the latter.

Buy yourself a new couch, kids, ’cause you ain’t getting up from it anytime soon.

The new release plan is thanks in part to AT&T’s 2018 purchase of the former Time Warner. The telecom giant now owns WarnerMedia — which in turn owns Warner Bros., HBO, HBO Max and more — allowing for coordinated release plans.

The studio had already announced a dual-release plan for “Wonder Woman 1984,” which is set to debut Christmas Day on screens big and small in the United States.

“WW1984″ had been scheduled for a June 2020 theatrical release but the pandemic changed that. Its small-screen run, like those of all Warner’s 2021 releases, will be only a month. The films will continue to run in theaters beyond that.

So what movies are on tap from Warner Bros. in 2021? Read on. All release dates are sourced from IMDb and subject to change.
