That's ballgame for Space Jam 2: hit movie A New Legacy leaves HBO Max on August 15. The 25-years-later sequel, starring LeBron James and a tune squad of CG-animated Looney Tunes, will be removed from HBO Max after streaming for 31 days as part of Warners' year-long Same Day Premieres strategy. The live-action and animated event movie has been available to stream since July 16, the same day Space Jam: A New Legacy opened in theaters and tipped off for a $31 million opening weekend at the box office. It leaves alongside R-rated Batman villain origin story Joker (2019), among the most-streamed titles on HBO Max.

The Space Jam sequel "pumps up the jam for a new generation," reads an excerpt from Aaron Perine's spoiler-free review for ComicBook, which praises the "spectacular" visual effects and cameo-crammed basketball action that the whole family can enjoy.

Like previous same-day premieres Judas and the Black Messiah and Tom & Jerry, which streamed for 31 days before leaving HBO Max, Space Jam: A New Legacy will return to the service as a library title after 139 days (on January 1, 2022). A full list of titles leaving HBO Max in August 2021 is below:
