Spider-Man: No Way Home and Ghostbusters: Afterlife, for example, will be available on HBO Max and HBO channels across Central and Eastern Europe as part of a content agreement between Sony Pictures Television and WarnerMedia.

Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and North Macedonia are among the countries included by the agreement. Next month, HBO Max, a streaming service, will take over from HBO Go in the region. It's already available in 46 countries, with plans to expand to Europe later this year.

Other Sony blockbusters, such as Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Uncharted, and Morbius, as well as features like Happiest Season, The Broken Hearts Gallery, and Monster Hunter, are all part of the collaboration.

The move is a continuation of a previous agreement in which WarnerMedia's channels have been used to distribute a number of titles in the region.

"As our industry navigates its way out of the pandemic, it is fantastic to consolidate our relationship with our partners at WarnerMedia through this new expanded deal across Central Europe," said Mark Young, Executive Vice President, Networks Distribution, Sony Pictures Television EMEA. "It is a tremendous way to present the breadth of the SPE features and television series including the biggest and most anticipated new release titles on our slate."

Hannes Heyelmann, Executive Vice President, Programming, WarnerMedia EMEA, added: “The extended partnership with Sony Pictures Television allows us to make available even more fantastic titles for audiences to enjoy as part of a rich, diverse and compelling offer.”
