Movie studio Warner Bros. and HBO Max are launching a new division that will specialize in making movies specifically for streaming, the companies said Wednesday. The unit is designed to produce films for HBO Max, the upcoming streaming service owned by the Burbank-based studio’s parent company, AT&T Inc. Warner Bros. has not ruled out the possibility that some Warner Max movies will be released in at least some theaters, people familiar with the matter said. AT&T bought HBO, Warner Bros. and the rest of WarnerMedia in 2018. In addition to HBO’s series and Warner Max movies, HBO Max will feature shows such as new “Looney Tunes” cartoons, “DC Super Hero High,” “Grease: Rydell High” and “Dune: The Sisterhood.”
