HBO Max Loses Disney-Owned Sci-Fi Titles
5.0
In recent months HBO Max has lost many Disney-owned 20th Century Studios science-fiction films as Disney reclaimed streaming rights, shrinking the platform's sci‑fi library. The service still added recent titles including Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and The Watch, but those films may also return to Disney's services. Subscribers should monitor catalog changes and consider alternatives like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video.
Key Points
