Roku users will be able to stream Wonder Woman 1984 after all due to an agreement reported by Variety. According to reports, Roku agreed that HBO Max would not be sold through the Roku Channel, which was one of the major holdups in negotiations. The move closed a big hole in Roku’s offering.
“We believe that all entertainment will be streamed and we are thrilled to partner with HBO Max to bring their incredible library of iconic entertainment brands and a blockbuster slate of direct to streaming theatrical releases to the Roku households with more than 100 million people that have made Roku the No. 1 TV streaming platform in America,” Scott Rosenberg, SVP of Roku’s platform business, said in a statement.
Roku was one of HBO’s first major streaming partners with the HBO Go app. HBO Max will be available to any HBO subscriber who already pays for HBO (as a TV everywhere option) as well as well as customers who sign up for the app on its own. HBO Max will be home to Warner’s entire 2021 film slate as well as Wonderwoman 1984, which debuts on Christmas.
