"Like a lot of businesses, theaters are in a tough spot right now," Jason Kilar, WarnerMedia's chief executive, said to the Times. said that even with the prospect of a COVID-19 vaccine giving hope for the new year, the studio expects movie theaters will not recover until at least the fall of 2021. Locally, the Regal UA Riverview theater closed permanently due to the pandemic, and the Narberth Theater recently started a GoFundMe campaign in an effort to survive.

When movie theaters shuttered because of the pandemic earlier this year, it foreshadowed an uncertain future for the business.

Lin-Manuel Miranda's latest "In the Heights," Clint Eastwood's "Cry Macho", the next "Conjuring" horror movie, and "Sopranos" prequel "The Many Saints of Newark" will appear in theaters and the streaming service simultaneously, as well. These movies will only stay on the streaming service for one month, before following normal release schedules for DVDs, iTunes and television and then eventually filtering back into HBO Max.
