Here's a great deal for anyone without a current HBO Max subscription. If you sign up now for the monthly ad-free plan, you'll save 50% off for the first six months. That will get you through the year, giving you day-one streaming access to the rest of Warner Bros. slate of theatrical releases, including Dune, The Matrix Resurrections, and more. This is a tremendous deal that anyone eligible should seriously consider. It's only available between now and September 26, so don't wait too long.
Get HBO Max Half Off for 6 Months
The normal monthly rate for a month of HBO Max's ad-free plan costs $14.99, but this deal cranks it down to $7.49 per month for the first six months. After that the price goes back up, but you can cancel any time.
Personally, if I could only keep one streaming service, I would choose HBO Max without question. From the vast selection of movies the service offers at any given time to the deep bench of iconic TV shows, it has something for everyone. It even has comedy specials, documentaries, and tons of programming for kids.
Here's a list of this year's same-day releases in theaters and on HBO Max. Each of these movies streams on HBO Max for 31 days and is available to all ad-free HBO Max subscribers at no additional cost (unlike Disney+'s Premier Access program).
Warner Bros. Same Day Premiers on HBO Max
- Reminiscence (streaming now through 9/19)
- Malignant (streaming now through 10/10)
- Cry Macho (streaming now through 10/17)
- The Many Saints of Newark – October 1
- Dune – October 22
- King Richard – November 19
- The Matrix Resurrections – December 22
Loads of other movies are on the service in addition to those. It has the Matrix trilogy. It has the majority of the DC cinematic universe films. It has Studio Ghibli animated features. There's a whole TCM collection that has many of the best movies ever made. It has Crunchyroll, Adult Swim, and Cartoon Network content as well.
And that's not even touching on the deep bench of HBO shows. The Sopranos. The Wire. Sex and the City. Curb Your Enthusiasm. True Blood. Game of Thrones. The Leftovers. Watchmen. Succession. White Lotus. Many of the best shows of the past few decades have been on HBO, and are available to stream right now on HBO Max.
If that sounds good, make sure you grab this deal before it goes away on September 26.
