HBO Max giveth, and HBO Max taketh away. WarnerMedia's streaming service has become a big go-to for new movies this year thanks to the day-and-date streaming release of the biggest Warner Bros. movies, but the catch is they're only available for a 31-day window during their initial streaming release, which means you also want to keep an eye on what's leaving HBO Max if you're running behind on the latest releases.
In October, two recently debuted films are leaving: Clint Eastwood's neo-western Cry Macho and James Wan's gloriously deranged horror film Malignant. Trust me, if you haven't caught Malignant yet, you absolutely need to see Wan's wild new horror original before it's gone, and you've got until October 10 to watch it online.
And of course, there are also all the regular comings and goings of library streaming titles. If you're looking to watch more Spooky Season favorites before they're gone, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Dreamcatcher, It, the Final Destination movies, The Conjuring 2, Freaks, Thirteen Ghosts, and The Witches all leave HBO Max in October, but the good news is they don't expire until the end of the month!
