my question is will HBOmax be available in our country if launched

abduleez1:


Nope not on launch date or month. But maybe after a while Naija might be added whenever they plan for expansion.

For now I think it's only USA. BUT before end of the year they would have added some European countries. For their SnyderCut debut eventually in 2021, they must have added availability to almost all important countries.

pu7pl3:


Nope, for a character like joker you can't call that "over acting" he wasn't even on par with Heath or Phoenix both who you can also argue that they were "over acting"

On a scale of 10 I'll give him a 7, he tried abeg

Minemrys:

i'll give him 5. God, u need to hear his joker laugh. Or that 'am n0t going to hurt u' scene. He wasn't believable as a psychopath or a deranged lunatic. 0ne of my reas0ns i d0n't want the Ayer cut or to have leto return. There are lots of actorz who could play that role better abeg. Or better still, rewrite the character and have leto play him the right way n0t s0me0ne high on cocaine. Joker is meant to scare and also make u laugh. I didn't get that fr0m leto. I mean, ledger's scene of "am like a dog chasing carz", the way he played it, u would be fearful of him and same time find him funny. That's joker for u.

nani667:


Yup,

There is actually huge difference... When you dey watch steady 1080p, if you download 720p and watch you will see the difference..very clear.. I tried downloading one episode of Harley Quinn in 720p, jus to see if there will be no difference, about 600MB episode... The thing blurry for my eye, since then I no reason anything less than 1080p again


Only 1080p and 2160p you may not notice the difference, depending on the device you are watching on.. But 1080p is the optimal quality for maximum enjoyment ✔️

All we want is Power Girl ❗❗❗❗

This is what I use

Guy, Warner Bros still makes $1billion a year from the series [b]"Friends" [/b]which ended 15yrs ago.
The casts of the show still earn an estimated $20m every year from the shows reruns and Licensing agreement.

Please, know your facts before talking about profitability.

Barrywhyte1:



What of Stephen Spielberg

Topmaike007:
carnival Row took me to Amazon prime video and uptil today I still subscribe on the platform because I prefer them to netflix

abduleez1:


Really?? Or it is the deal Netflix made to retain it a year longer before exclusively going to HBOMax?

I know friends make a ton of money but 1 billion a year? Or you're confusing deals they made spanning a period of years(usually 4-5yrs) to use it's IP. If that's it then it would translate to around $250mn a year. Besides it's a series with a huge amount of seasons and boatload of episodes. Hence the size alone will increase its value. You can't compare such success with smaller titles.

Streaming and vod are only good when selling licensing to others for IP use. They turn profit in the long run but you can't compare it's profit margin with that of theater released features.

You can't compare profitability of films like Aquaman, Avengers movies, Joker in theaters to Streaming or VOD platforms. They cost huge money and their BO returns are huge (1 billion plus). You can't get that with vod. Vod takes a very long time to mature and generate such amount of money with time. I'm yet to even hear or see Vod get that capacity to generate a Billion from individual watchs or rewatch.

And what you are comparing is acquisition of IP rights and not actually money made from watch or rewatch of said movie on Video on Demand or Broadcast as compared to per tickets sales of movie in theaters.

If what you're saying is TRUE then why are studios losing their shits_ and postponing Big Budget movies instead of heading straight to Vod like their low budget counterparts??
Even WarnerMedia head Stankey said "Wonder Woman 1984 is a theatre must-release project and not vod, saying it can't match theater released film profitability".

Minemrys:

oh really? Or did s0me0ne hack this a/c or s0mething? I remember u always at wb's defense bk then oh. @ SMUAG

TheKingIsHere:


Yes they have, AT&T have taking over maybe that's why Aquaman was a huge success because the WB I know before no get sense on how to promote their movies and products.

I just pray AT&T can flush out all those incompetent losers holding management positions and give it to people who are more strategic and dynamic

TheKingIsHere:
@Minemrys SMUAG and all, see my post supporting AT&T flushing out the old management. This post was made as far back as Jan 2019.




@Minemrys please I beg you, don't ever use me to lie or get cheap points because it will always fail.

I know what I say and when I say it.

I am also waiting for you to bring out the post of SMUAG blaming the old management because from what I can tell, he blamed the current management which I defended. The same current management which is letting the Snyder cut and Ayer cut happen

QED

abduleez1:


Exactly how I like my Joker. Scary and funny at the same time.
Most especially that scene where Heath's Joker burnt the money in the vault. Millions!! I was like WTF !! This guy dey craze and still it was amusing how he did it and said it, especially with the effort those guys out in getting that money.

Even insinuating to them they were stupid and weren't thinking big.

I still love his annoying but funny way of smacking his lips. And that crazy walk scene at the hospital after bombing it. I hear it was pure improvisation on his part. It was funny as hell. From there you'll know this guy is scary and amusing at the same time.

abduleez1:


You mean am?? Guy you go just kukuma say you hate fantasy be that oo. You hate LOTR, you come join GOT ontop. :Mad oo

That LOTR is easily my Best All Time movie Franchise, o swear. Too much sense kill am. And I'm definitely rewatching just before the Amazon series drop. And GOT is my ALL TIME Best Series.

philfearon:

Guy, go and watch Westworld. Then, come back.

philfearon:

Bad man. I am already seeing Jack Ryan in your line up.

Minemrys:

i hate LOTR. Like with passi0n. I still d0n't kn0w what the whole thing was about. A powerful ring that could only just make you invisible? Saruman was supposed to be a powerful wizard, still trying to understand what his power was.

Minemrys:

i no want watch an0ther series yet abeg. 0nce u enter am, u can't leave them. Make i atleast finish the ones wey dy my fr0nt lol. Dis is why i hate series. They aren't one offs.

Topmaike007:
so you notice bro

TheKingIsHere:


Stargirl is good. I highly recommend it

Minemrys:

dude, n0lan would find a way to do seas0n 1 of GOT in 2 hours. It's abt kn0wing what u want to tell, how to tell it and achieve it. GOT was fr0m a b0ok, guy. And u are telling me N0lan can't adapt a b0ok into a 2hour film? He did incepti0n that had many characterz in it and was able to tell a story. How abt TDK. Lord of the rings is one film i find unnecessarily l0ng and would've benefitd fr0m a 2hr run time..

philfearon:

Yup.

abduleez1:


Darkseid will appear in the cut and make a brief Cameo on that scene where Steppenwolf was defeated In which Wonder Woman decapitated his head and it rolled back in a boomtube to Apokolips on Darkseid's feet.

Woah how did you know this?

abduleez1:

We literally have the same taste in everything

Are we related?

abduleez1:


I don't know why you peeps are defending Leto but in all honesty his Joker was shit_ pure and unprocessed one. I'll pick the Animated Mark Hamill version over him anyday anytime.

He is a good Actor fine, but his Joker Portrayal was hor$eshit_. Irrespective of shit scripting and all that, isn't it the same movie Margot Robbie's Harley starred in? Even overshadowing Will's Deadshot. Then there's Viola Davis (Amanda Waller), they all garnered praise and respect for their Portrayals in the same shit_ movie. Will's was a bit controversial but still turned in decent Performance overall.

I don't know why Leto's defenders always seem to forget this fact.
Eg, look at Joe Manganiello Deathstroke in Josstice League, how many screentime he got? Less than 1 minute and still DC fans scream he's the perfect Deathstroke, from demeanor, mannerism and looks. Up till this day there's some fans who believe he's the best Deathstroke even though Esai Morales is dishing out a better showing.

Kaycee7:
Didn't really see anything to be impressed by in Stargirl's pilot. It was cliché as fvck to me, in ways that didn't even make sense.

Heeeeey guy take time o before you sef collect your own beating
