Max extends deal with Criterion Collection, keeping classic movies available
The beloved classics in the Criterion Collection fit perfectly on Max, and will continue to stream there going forward.
The Criterion Collection is jam-packed with classic movies, arthouse flicks, and titles that true cinephiles consume non-stop. Having a reliable streaming partner for the Criterion Collection is a must for true movie lovers, and a new deal between it and Warner Bros. Discovery will secure that streaming future for multiple years to come. The two companies announced on Tuesday that they had extended their licensing deal, allowing Max to continue streaming Criterion Collection films.
Key Details:
- The new deal extension between Max and the Criterion Collection runs for multiple years.
- Classics like “Seven Samurai,” Charlie Chaplin’s “Modern Times,” and more are available.
- Max also offers Warner Bros. movies, A24 and Studio Ghibli films, and much more.
Max was already the streaming home of the Criterion Collection before the latest announcement and will continue serving in that capacity for multiple years to come. The streamer and its library, already packed with high-quality prestige TV shows from HBO, is the perfect fit for the Criterion Collection’s hundreds of films.
“We are excited to continue to bring the Criterion Collection’s catalog of top-quality films to our audiences,” said Royce Battleman, EVP of Content Acquisitions, Warner Bros. Discovery. “Both the existing and new additions to the collection provide Max viewers with the opportunity to experience cinematic excellence as part of our offering.”
For the past 40 years, Criterion Collection has been committed to publishing important classic and contemporary films from around the globe in editions that offer the highest technical quality. Its collection transcends questions of genre and medium, crafting a content library that even the most discerning movie fans can’t ignore.
Lovers of top movies will want a Max subscription to watch the Criterion Collection, but that’s not the only high-quality movie library they’ll find on the streamer. Max carries Warner films like “Dune,” Studio Ghibli movies, A24 films, Turner Classic Movies, and more, and that’s before even getting into its expansive TV library.
Subscriptions to Max start at $10 per month, or customers can pay $17 to go ad-free. The service also offers live news on the CNN Max hub, and sports through the Bleacher Report add-on.
