Why the Launch of Max in Southeast Asia Is a Game-Changer in Warner Bros. Discovery’s Biggest Target Market

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief After a strategic launch in Japan in September and an end-of October debut in the much smaller New Zealand market, Warner Bros, Discovery’s Max streaming platform gets a much bigger rollout in seven more East Asian territories from Tuesday. “Asia Pacific is probably our single biggest region in terms of opportunity for growth, largely because of Max,” JB Perrette, president of streaming at WBD tells Variety. In five Southeast Asian territories (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand) as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan, Max will be switched on in place of a low-tech stopgap service HBO Go. That predecessor has operated since 2010 and was long ago technologically superseded both by rival services and by WBD’s own Max. Max, which emerged from the 2022 combination of Warner Bros., with its historic movie studio and its HBO pay-TV service, and Discovery with its software architecture and a vault of unscripted programming, began operating in the U.S.

Chris Martin kisses tarmac before boarding plane in Sydney

Coldplay’s Chris Martin surprised onlookers yesterday (November 11) by kissing the tarmac at Sydney Airport before boarding a plane heading to Auckland, New Zealand – you can view footage below.He has been seen doing a similar ritual before when he landed in Malaysia last year ahead of the band’s show there and in Indonesia on their previous tour.Martin has never said why he kisses the tarmac on airport runways, similar to what the Pope often does, but it has been suggested that it may stem from a near-death experience he suffered on a plane in 2005.He previously revealed that he almost died when his plane hit a dust storm flying over West Africa not long before it was supposed to touch down in Ghana.“It was so terrifying, the plane was all over the place,” Martin told The Sun at the time. “Once a year, for a week, all this dust blows over from the Sahara Desert.

Tiptoeing Towards Regional Coproductions, Asian Governments Take Funding, Reform Steps

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Governments and agencies across Asia are taking steps to expand and extend the cross-border film coproduction movement. A seminar called ‘From Eurasia to Global Collaboration’ on Thursday, the third day of the Taiwan Creative Content Fest, represented a handy recap of funding and structural developments from four countries: The Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Turkey. Alex Sihar, from Indonesia’s directorate of culture, part of the ministry of education, described an ongoing process intended to put the industry on a more professional footing. “While we have a long history of filmmaking and a very diverse culture, our films until recently have had very little international exposure, there has been little knowledge transfer and no incentives for location shooting or co-production.” Film policy was previously stretched across multiple ministries, but is now to be overseen by a film department under the education ministry, which is newly separated from educational matters.Co-productions are to be further encouraged and the country’s matching fund (which doubles up on funding available from the likes of the World Cinema Fund, TAICCA and Purin Pictures) is likely to be expanded. Indonesia is also a founder member of the Asian Film Alliance Network (AFAN, alongside Mongolia, Singapore, Taiwan, The Philippines, South Korea and Malaysia). Marylo Christine H.
