“#Godzilla vs. Kong Release Deal Between WB & Legendary \u2013 \/Film<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\"godzilla<\/a><\/p>\n

Late last year, Warner Bros.<\/strong> made history by announcing their upcoming 2021 theatrical slate would also be going straight to HBO Max on the same day said films were intended to hit theaters. It was a bold, game<\/a>-changing move \u2013 and it was met with immedia<\/a>te resistance. Because as it turns out, the folks at Warners had neglected to inform the filmmakers and actors involved with their upcoming movies<\/a> of the decision.<\/p>\n

Legendary Pictures, which has an agreement to co-produce and co-finance films with Warner Bros., was perhaps the loudest voice against the idea, claiming they were very upset that upcoming Legendary\/WB films\u00a0Godzilla vs. Kong<\/em><\/strong> and\u00a0Dune<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>would be released in this matter. There was even talk of legal action. Now, a report indicates that Warner Bros. and Legendary are close to reaching a deal regarding\u00a0Godzilla vs. Kong<\/em>, but negotiations involving\u00a0Dune<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>are ongoing.<\/p>\n

The story about potential legal action involving Warner Bros. and Legendary surfaced in December 2020, indicating that Legendary planned to \u201csend legal letters to Warner Bros. to challenge the day-and-date release of its two films, on which Legendary wasn\u2019t consulted before the unprecedented streaming release plan was announced.\u201d The film production company was particularly angry with the studio over plans to release\u00a0Godzilla vs. Kong<\/em> and\u00a0Dune\u00a0<\/em>to HBO Max. And\u00a0Dune<\/em> filmmaker Denis Villeneuve<\/strong> even writing an article for Variety<\/a> in which he angrily stated: \u201cWith this decision, AT&T has hijacked one of the most respectable and important studios in film history. There is absolutely no love for cinema, nor for the audience here.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to a new article from THR, the negotiations between Legendary and WB over\u00a0Dune<\/em> are ongoing, but a resolution regarding\u00a0Godzilla vs. Kong<\/em> is app<\/a>arently imminent. As THR states, \u201cAn agreement means the parties are close to averting a potential legal confrontation over Warner Media\u2019s surprise decision to put its entire 2021 slate on its HBO Max streamer on the same date that the films open in theaters.\u201d They also add that \u201cThe movie will keep its May 21 release date in theaters, including IMAX, as well as HBO Max. Legendary will release the film in China.\u201d<\/p>\n

If the movie is still hitting HBO Max, just what\u2019s being resolved here? The answer: money. Legendary is likely set to get a bigger payday because of this situation. But what of\u00a0Dune<\/em>? That remains a trickier question. It also puts Warners in a tough spot, because if Legendary and those involved with\u00a0Dune<\/em> want to fight against the HBO Max release, and WB relents, it\u2019s going to set a precedent, and other 2021 WB films may want similar treatment. For instance, the THR story indicates that\u00a0The Matrix 4<\/em> director\u00a0Lana Wachowski is \u201cadamant about an exclusive theatrical run\u201d for the film, which is currently slated to hit HBO Max on\u00a0December 22, 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
