Topic	Wait, Prey is Hulu exclusive?
Smashingpmkns 08/04/22 1:25:56 AM #21:	Compsognathus posted... The movie was produced by 20th Century Studios, a Disney subsidiary, so I would very much doubt it would be on HBO Max unless HBO Max was paying Disney for it. The reason Prey is on Hulu is the same reason any movie premiers on a streaming service: An attempt to increase and maintain its subscriber-base with exclusive content. Disney wants people to subscribe to Hulu. This is probably further influenced by the fact that the "middle market" for movie theaters has yet to return. So an R-rated prequel to a cult-franchise wasn't going to be doing big bucks anyway. Nah it's very much a thing. Fox movies end up on HBO Max for whatever reason. Some legacy deal from before the acquisition. The movie is airing on Hulu to avoid that and to also cut marketing costs. Disney has been pretty much screwing all Fox productions over since the acquisition. Just to back this up, I think every movie on this list that had a theatrical release ended up streaming on HBO Max and not a Disney owned streaming service: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_20th_Century_Studios_films --- http://i.imgur.com/x04tPRZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/t7T392I.jpg <cite>Smashingpmkns posted [p:967059695] in Wait, Prey...
