It says something about the state of the industry in general and the state of WarnerMedia in particular that the announcement of Warner Max, a “unique joint venture” that will produce up to 10 movies a year for the HBO Max streaming service, was not greeted with joy in the town.

With Warner Max, an effort is underway to convince the two entities to cooperate. The thinking at Warners is that HBO Max will have a competitive edge because it will utilize Warners infrastructure, including physical production.
