Warner Bros. Pictures has announced theatrical release dates for three films tonight and will release them directly to cinemas worldwide only, not alongside a simultaneous drop on HBO Max.
The three titles are George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” prequel “Furiosa” for June 23rd 2023, Dave Green’s animated hybrid comedy “Coyote vs. Acme” on July 21st 2023 and “The Color Purple” musical feature on December 20th 2023.
Toby Emmerich, Chairman, Warner Bros. Pictures Group, made the announcement very clearly stating the lack of a simultaneous HBO drop as is being done with the studio’s 2021 release slate and will be for next year only according to their stance.
The announcement comes ahead of the first film to adopt the dual release strategy, “Wonder Woman 1984,” arriving in both cinemas and HBO Max at the same time. At presently only around 40% of U.S. cinemas are open.
The studio also released a new poster for their upcoming “Tom and Jerry” movie which you can see below:
