HBO Max next month (August 2021) plans to add 121 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup, including two ‘same-day’ theatrical releases that will be available in 4K.
The new titles will include The Suicide Squad, a Warner Bros. theatrical release that will debut on the same day on HBO Max. The sequel to 2016’s superhero film, Suicide Squad, stars Margot Robbie, John Cena, Idris Elba, Joel Kinnaman and Sylvester Stallone, and will be offered in 4K HDR and Dolby Atmos.
Another same-day release in August: Reminiscence, a Warner Bros. sci-fi film starring Hugh Jackman as a jaded military veteran who recovers people’s memories until he discovers that one recovered scene contains the clue to a murder. The movie will also be available in 4K HDR and Dolby Atmos.

Also notable in August: The series finale of The White Lotus, the original HBO Max black comedy starring Connie Britton, Alexandra Daddario, Jennifer Coolidge and Steve Zahn; and Godzilla vs. Kong, which stars Alexander Skarsgard, Millie Bobby Brown and Rebecca Hall, but the real stars are the digitally created monsters who have haunted our theaters, and much of cinematic Asia, for decades now. Godzilla vs. Kong will also be in 4K HDR and Dolby Atmos.
