Clint Eastwood's Cry Macho will release on HBO Max in addition to being in theaters, and here's what time it'll be available online. The film is based on a western novel of the same name written by N. Richard Nash. It tells the story of an aging ex-rodeo star, Mike Milo (Clint Eastwood), whose former boss hires him to escort his young son through Mexico to the United States. Throughout the journey, the duo imparts wisdom on one another revolving around what it means to be a man.

Like many recent films, Cry Macho will become available on a streaming platform simultaneously to its theatrical release. The move comes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but various releases have seen drastically different results. The release of Black Widow on Disney+ resulted in Scarlett Johansson's Disney lawsuit, but the Warner Bros. films that partnered with HBO Max have so far premiered without incident.

Cry Macho will be in theaters on September 17, 2021, and the film will become available on HBO Max the same day. To provide the most authentic and quality viewing experience possible for at-home audiences, HBO Max will make the movie available in 4K Ultra HD, HDR 10, and Dolby Vision. It will, however, only be available at no additional cost to certain subscription levels.

Cry Macho will be available to stream at no additional cost to HBO Max subscribers in the US who have the ad-free plan. Anyone who doesn't have an HBO Max subscription but still wants to see Clint Eastwood in Cry Macho from the comfort of their home can register on the streaming service's website. It might also be worthwhile for them to check if they already have access to HBO Max without knowing it. If HBO is included in their TV package, or if they have an AT&T wireless or internet plan, they may already have access to the streaming service.

Countless audiences will no doubt feel more comfortable screening Cry Macho at home, but viewers who still prefer the big screen will have that option available to them. Many fans could even argue that the partnership between Warner Bros. and HBO Max is perfect compared to the similar structure of Disney+ streaming new films since it's significantly cheaper while still offering a wide selection of content. An ad-free subscription to HBO Max costs $14.99 a month whereas Disney+ Premier Access is an additional $29.99 on top of the monthly subscription fee. However, viewers choose to watch, however, Cry Macho promises to be a fascinating neo-western marvel.
