In a statement, Nolan calls HBO Max `the worst streaming service` (which is objectively not true) and calls out the decision as evidence of WarnerMedia's dysfunction:
`Some of our industry's biggest filmmakers and most important movie stars went to bed the night before thinking they were working for the greatest movie studio and woke up to find out they were working for the worst streaming service. Warner Bros. had an incredible machine for getting a filmmaker's work out everywhere, both in theaters and in the home, and they are dismantling it as we speak. They don't even understand what they're losing. Their decision makes no economic sense, and even the most casual Wall Street investor can see the difference between disruption and dysfunction.`
Last night, Nolan's first words on the matter broke as he took aim at WarnerMedia's decision not to tell any of the filmmakers involved about the HBO Max move before their big announcement. And now two additional statements go even further: Nolan is pissed off.
