Village Roadshow Suing Warner Bros

[Brad2912]

Not particularly theme park related (at present) but Village Roadshow is suing Warner Bros regarding issues with the release of Matrix Resurrections.

Some of the public comments already thrown out by both parties don’t point to any kind of future happy unions.

whilst unlikely to directly effect MW - I wonder if the relationship continues to sour or a protracted court battle ensues if it may make attempts at licensing and access to things such as the Batman collection for Legacy harder to instigate or troublesome in the future

Umm, no. People will go out and pay to see decent movies. I'll admit to watching it on HBO Max but honestly don't feel like I'd have gone out and paid to see it in cinemas. It wasn't that good tbh.

Home streaming services won't even let you use a dongle to screenshare off a phone to a TV using HDMI because it thinks you're trying to pirate the signal. Copy protection on digital streaming services has entered the 21st century - even if Village Roadshow haven't.
