Why are these movies suddenly coming to Netflix? Well, in recent months, we’ve seen many movies from Warner Bros. Discovery land on Netflix on the first of the month, with the majority being the wave of titles from Project Popcorn. Over the past few months, we’ve seen the likes of The Many Saints of Newark, Dune, and Don’t Worry Darling added, with the most recent being Godzilla vs. Kong, which dropped on November 1st.
Netflix also notably struck a deal with HBO in the summer that’s seen multiple titles from the network join the streaming service over the past few months.
All of the movies will continue to reside on Max while also on Netflix.
In other DC / Netflix news – we’ll soon be seeing the release of Dead Boy Detectives, and we’re slowly learning of new castings for the second season of The Sandman, which will hopefully re-enter production in due course.
