Melissa McCarthy’s new movie will debut not in theaters but on HBO Max
... [+]
. The PG rated comedy, helmed by Ben Falcone and starring Melissa McCarthy, has been slotted for a Christmas theatrical release for a while, but we haven’t seen so much as a poster. Well, hot on the heels of Warner Media announcing that HBO Max would get exclusive streaming rights to 21 Studio Ghibli movies, which is worth its weight in gold in terms of positive media coverage over the next few days, they now have their first high-profile straight-to-streaming movie.
The film “tells the story of Carol Peters , to whom nothing extraordinary ever happens. But when she starts getting snarky backtalk from her TV, phone and microwave, she thinks she’s being punked. Or losing her mind. In fact, the world’s first superintelligence has selected her for observation, taking over her life…with a bigger, more ominous plan to take over everything. Now Carol is humanity’s last chance before this artificial intelligence-with-an-attitude decides to pull the plug.
