With Max now on the verge of rolling out, Zaslav said he still sees big things ahead. "This is our rendezvous with destiny," he declared during a presentation in the same studio where movies such as "Casablanca" and "A Streetcar Named Desire" were made. Those movies, as well as other Warner Bros. films, will be available in Max, which Zaslav hailed as "the streaming version of must-see TV." Zaslav hinted that live sports events and news will be added to Max before the end of the year. Given that the Max app will bring more pedestrian programming from the Discovery networks alongside the boundary-breaking series that have been HBO's hallmark, Warner Bros. Discovery executives periodically emphasized HBO would remain the same groundbreaking network that recently caused a stir with the series "The Last of Us," and is currently making waves with the final season of "Succession."
