Why is The Bob’s Burgers Movie coming to HBO Max?
The choice of streaming provider is the most intriguing part of this news. Fox created Bob’s Burgers before being acquired by Disney in 2019 and becoming 20th Century Studios. Hulu and Disney Plus both have access to all 12 seasons of the show, which is why you can find it on Hulu in the US and on Disney Plus worldwide.
Even though Disney tends to keep its hands firmly on the reins, the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned HBO Max, as far as we can determine, was not engaged with the movie’s debut on the service.
For the time being, we have no further reason for why the streaming rights for this film were not sold like the rights for any other film. Bob’s Burgers viewers will have to pay for two subscriptions in order to watch the show in its entirety. HBO Max costs $15 per month, whereas Hulu pricing starts at $7 per month with advertisements and at $13 per month without.
