I am debating doing a month of HBO Max to watch that new Tony Hawk doc. Batman makes that decision much easier.

All WB movies hit HBO Max 45 days after the theatrical release. Disney and Paramount are doing the same thing.

Spoilers? Hasn't been ruined for me yet.
I get HBO Max with my internet so I'll give it a watch for sure.

Took much longer for Spiderman but I went to the cinema on that one in full pandemic.

Spider-Man is a Sony movie.

It still didnt hit the TV's on Disney plus in 45 days which Im making a point nor did the other recent Disney superhero movies like Shang-chi or the rest.

Tony Hawk documentary is excellent. If you grew up in the 80s and saw the rise of Hawk, this doc is for you.

I'm a massive skateboarding fan so it's not even optional for me.

Yeah because
I've watched them on Disney+ months ago...

Wut? My point was, The Batman, a huge name in the movie cinema, releasing so soon on TV is not a standard. It's a surprise, a welcomed one to be sure, but still quite a shock considering it did well enough in theaters. HBO Max is going hard on Netflix/D+.

45 days is the earliest for home release but studios can extend that time frame whenever they want if it's worthwhile. Most movies make the majority of their box office within the first month anyway.
Sounds like you went to a crap cinema.
Shang Chi cinema - September 3rd
Shang Chi Disney+ - November 12
Eternals cinema - November 5
Eternals Disney+ - January 12
Over 2 months for both films.

This was probably an issue with your theater having the bulb too low. I’ve had this issue but The Batman was perfectly clear to me. And I forgot my glasses.

Spider-Man is the better theater experience but The Batman is the better film.

Agreed although I wish they had delved into his personal life a bit more as an adult. He kind of alluded to infidelity but he’s been married 4 times which is a hint that the clean cut nice guy image he portrays may not be all there is to him. They didn’t explore that enough.

They focused on his professional stuff and his dad mostly. But it is still a great doc. I think it would be hard for him to sign onto a doc that talks about all his failures as a husband. He admitted to them, just didn't go into any details. Basically he lived like a rockstar when he was on the road.

Shang Chi was 45 days. Spiderman isn't a Disney movie.

Every MCU movie DISNEY (not Sony) has released in 2021 came to Disney+ 45 days after the theatrical release. This applies to all Disney and Fox movies going forward.

I knew it was April 20th but I still went and watched it again last week because I wanted to see it on the big screen one more time. It's got a gorgeous looking movie, and even 4k HDR movies on my 65 inch OLED dont come close to that experience.
I remember coming home after watching Godzilla vs Kong and Dune, and playing them on my tv and the sense of scale pretty much disappears. It no longer feels epic. I can set my surround system to max and subwoofer to 10 and all the vibrations still dont come close to the theater experience.
Maybe I will buy that new vizio soundbar that blasts sound off of the ceiling because 5.1 surround barely makes a difference in most cases.

Cool. I've been curious how I'll feel about the movie on second viewing.

Round about April 25th
Hbomax quality is actually pretty poor. Dune on physical disc is FAR superior to what was shown on hbomax. The amount of detail lost on hbomax was really disappointing.
If you really like the movie and it’s dark like Dune or the Batman buy the disc.

Will digital HD suffice or still wait for the blu ray? Was thinking about getting it on iTunes. (I know I know I'm old)

Many “Whelps”! Handle It!
Of all of the streaming services it has become my favorite for finding something to watch on the weekends. It also helps that it has John Oliver and Bill Maher's shows, though they're both fond of taking months off at a time which can be frustrating.

No they have not. I already gave you at least one example, Shang-Chi, I think Eternals as well. Also Batman is not just some movie. it's a huge name. Cmon it takes a fucking quick google to know you're wrong. Fuck it I'll do it for ya:

Thats not 45 days. Thats almost 3 months. Small window but not even close to Batman.
Lets do Eternals.
Eternals (film) - Wikipedia
where the fuck are those 45 days?

It’s all a conspiracy against DC when post COVID WB, Disney, Fox, and Paramount all moved to 45 day theatrical windows. It was a big deal when they had to suck AMC’s dick to get an OK for it.
