‘Eraser: Reborn’ To Be Released This March, 25 Years After The Original Film

25 years after the blockbuster hit, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will have you on the edge of your seat with the release of Eraser: Reborn, the follow-up to the 1996 blockbuster.

HBO Max And Discovery+ Will Soon Be One Big Service

Discovery is in the final stages of acquiring Warner Media from AT&T. So, what does that mean?

But the main thrust is going to be harmonizing the technology platform. Building one very, very strong combined direct-to-consumer product and platform, that’s going to take a while.” HBO Max already hosts several channels on its service including TCM, DC, Adult Swim, and others. It would be fairly simple for HBO to just add more sections for Discovery properties such as the Travel Channel, HGTV, and the other 80 plus
