HBO stands for “Home Box Office,” and despite the premium cabler’s hard focus on prestige television series in recent years, the network has always kept a foothold in the world of feature films. Warner plans to take advantage of that pedigree on the new streaming platform with classic hits like Titanic, Magic Mike, Chicago, the first two The Hobbit films, When Harry Met Sally and You’ve Got Mail.
Titanic, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, was once the reigning box office champ. The film follows two young lovers who meet on the “unsinkable” ship during its ill-fated maiden voyage. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Desolation of Smaug are the first two entries in Peter Jackson’s return trip to Middle-Earth, which exhaustively adapts J.R.R. Tolkien’s YA classic of the same name. HBO Max subscribers will also gain access to When Harry Met Sally and You’ve Got Mail, two timeless films from queen of romantic comedy Nora Ephron.
HBO Max isn’t just focused on the oldies. The June listings also include recent blockbusters like sci-fi epic Ad Astra and psychological thriller Dr. Sleep, the long-awaited adaptation of the sequel to Stephen King’s The Shining. If you missed these theatrical runs, there’s no better time to catch up.
