New A24 motion pictures can have an unique residence sooner or later: Max, HBO, and Cinemax.
(That’s technically three locations, and it’s type of bizarre to be “exclusive” to three locations, however they’re all owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, so okay.)

Discovery — has their very own streaming service that they want to preserve folks subscribed to, which implies they often preserve all of their very own productions unique to their streaming service. There aren’t too many large-scale moviemakers left on the market who don’t have their very own streaming service — and A24 is among the most notable amongst them.
