We just got done telling you that Hollywood doesn’t make flashy, expensive adult dramas anymore when along comes Warner Bros.’ King Richard, a $50 million bio-pic/Will Smith star vehicle that seems poised to finally deliver the one-time master of the July 4 blockbuster the Academy Award he’s been chasing since 2001’s Ali.
Advance reviews of the drama, named for Richard Williams, father of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams, who drove his daughters to international sports superstardom, are stellar—with Smith singled out for particular praise for his performance as the devoted, driven dad determined to turn his daughters into global icons. It’s the kind of movie that had a good chance at becoming a box office sensation back in the day; however it fares box office-wise with its simultaneous theatrical/streaming debut on Nov. 19, it looks like a Will Smith comeback is assured following a decade of wandering from one box office misfire to another.
HBO Max also adds more intriguing fare in November, including Sort Of (Nov. 18), a new Canadian sit-com in the Schitt’s Creek vein following the non-binary child of Pakistani immigrants; 8-Bit Christmas (date TBA), a period coming-of-age drama about a teen’s effort to secure his choice holiday gift—the latest video game system (as a child of the ‘80s, I deeply relate); a Head of the Class reboot (Nov. 4); and a bunch more.
Here’s the list of everything coming to (and leaving) HBO Max in November 2021. Titles with (HBO) next to them are available on HBO and HBO Max; everything else is exclusive to HBO Max (though King Richard, like all of the streamer’s day and date premieres, won’t be available to customers on ad-supported plans).
