HBO Max will reportedly drop to $10 per month if you accept ads - Engadget

When AT&T debuts HBO Max's new ad-supported tier in June, it will cost $10 per month, according to CNBC. To put that price in perspective, Hulu starts at $6 per month, and Netflix's basic plan will set you back $9 every 30 days. HBO Max was already on the more expensive side, with its standard subscription coming in at $15 per month. If CNBC's reporting is accurate, it looks like the new tier won't change that about the service.

We've reached out to AT&T for comment, and we'll update this article when we hear back. In the meantime, we'll point out that WarnerMedia, which operates the streaming service for parent AT&T, has talked a lot about how the tier will work. During AT&T's recent investor day event, WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar said, "the main difference [between the two tiers] will be with the theatrical premieres." Paying for the more expensive package will get you access to day-and-date premieres of Warner Bros movies. With the studio debuting all of its films on HBO Max in 2021, that's a big deal. HBO shows also won't carry ads, whether you're on the less expensive tier or not. Beyond that, "everything else will be the same," according to Kilar's past statements.

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her...
