Fans who are awaiting the debut of next summer’s “Space Jam 2” starring LeBron James will be able to watch it from the comfort of their own homes, so long as they are HBO Max subscribers.
HBO Max announced on Thursday that they will have same day box office releases on their service starting on Christmas Day and through 2021, including the release of the “Space Jam 2.” The remake of the legendary Michael Jordan-Looney Tunes movie starring LeBron James and Don Cheadle will release on the app on July 16, the same day that it’s scheduled to release in movie theaters. HBO, of course, is owned by Warner Bros.

The announcement from Warner Bros. and HBO is a major one for the movie industry as the pandemic has kept crowds small or realistically non-existent for movie theaters. Until there is some level of control with the virus, movies, especially blockbusters like ‘Space Jam 2,’ will have to find success on the small screen.
