Paul Thomas Anderson‘s One Battle After Another, the Leonardo DiCaprio-starring Warner Bros pic that has been leading the charge this awards season since hitting theaters in late September, will debut exclusively on HBO Max on Friday, December 19.
The Warner Bros streaming sibling revealed the news Monday about the streaming date, which comes a day before the pic premieres on the HBO linear channel. HBO Max will also stream an ASL version.
The pic, a mash of crime and political action thriller and dark comedy, centers on DiCaprio’s washed-up revolutionary Bob, who exists in a state of stoned paranoia and survives off-grid with his spirited, self-reliant daughter Willa (Chase Infiniti). When his evil nemesis (Sean Penn) resurfaces after 16 years and Willa goes missing, Bob scrambles to find her, battling the consequences of his past.
Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall and Teyana Taylor also star.
The pic, which opened September 26 and has surpassed $200 million at the global box office, has already been named Best Picture by the New York and Los Angeles critics groups and the National Board of Review and won the Best Feature honor at the Gotham Awards. It is up for 14 Critics Choice Awards and leads all films with nine nominations for the Golden Globes.
One Battle After Another is produced by Adam Somner, Sara Murphy and Anderson, with Will Weiske executive producing.
