Just as the Academy is preparing for its big night, HBO has announced exclusive Latin American rights for nearly half of the nominated films.


Following several agreements with major production and distribution companies including Sony, Disney, Warner and Universal, HBO has confirmed TV and streaming rights*to air 21 of the 50 nominated films across the Latin American region.

After tomorrow’s Oscars gala and throughout the rest of the year, the movies will first premiere for HBO/MAX subscribers, and then become available on HBO Go. HBO’s video-on-demand service works as a TV everywhere or standalone platform, depending on the territory.

The 21 movies set to premiere on HBO throughout Latin America are Sony’s 20th Century Women, Land of Mine, The Lobster, Passengers, Manchester by the Sea and Arrival; Disney’s Doctor Strange, Moana, Star Wars Rogue One, Zootopia and The Jungle Book; Warner’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them, Suicide Squad and Sully; Telefilms’ Hacksaw Ridge, Lion and Moonlight; and Universal’s Hail, Caesar!, Kubo and the Two Strings, Loving and Nocturnal Animals.
