  1. Your blog is very helpful. Can't thank you enough for your work. I wonder it'd be too much work if you could highlight some high rating or popular movies as a viewing guide. I also rely on another blog for expiring titles on Netflix, and their highlights are very helpful. Just a suggestion :) I know it is already a lot of work.

    1. Hello. I have thought about your suggestion, and I am thinking of highlighting movies that have a score of 6.0 or better from Imdb.com.

    2. I was wondering if any of the rocky movies or creed are coming back because I was just about to watch them when they expired!

  2. Do we know when the HBO stuff is gone? I know the 19th is the anniversary of the deal but didn't know if it was then or at the end.

    1. There is no reliable information about the HBO content at this time. At the top of this page I linked an article from 4/30/18 that seems to believe the HBO content is safe.

      Here is an excerpt: "Shipping is far from Prime's only benefit. For example, you also get a Netflix-like streaming service, Prime Video. It's home to a pretty substantial library of movies and TV shows -- including, for a while longer, at least, HBO shows such as Veep and Deadwood. (About a year ago, HBO announced that its license deal with Amazon would be ending in, well, about a year. But there have been no subsequent announcements, so for the moment the HBO stuff streams on.)"

      I hope Amazon does make an announcement regarding HBO content, but we cannot count on that. Sadly, all we can do is check our Watchlists and check our digital news sources.

    If the HBO movies are going to expire this year on May 21, same as last year's notices, then we should see the HBO movie expiration notices next Monday, May 7. I don't know whether we will see any HBO TV show expiration notices this time, since no one has seen a Prime Video TV show expiration notice in many months.

  16. The deal between Amazon and HBO seems to have been renewed. The HBO movies in my list are no longer expiring.

    1. The only one showing an expiration notice on my list is Paradise Lost 3 Purgatory (2012). Who knows if that notice will stay....

      I have not seen anything in the news regarding a deal between HBO and Amazon Prime Video. So, I am going to wait a few days to see if notices return for the HBO titles. If we do not see the notices return, I will move our lists (of movies and shows) to a separate page on this blog.

    2. I want to believe. I'm thinking it's far more likely that there's some kind of Amazon glitch, but here's hoping.

    3. I scoured the interwebs trying to find some news on this. The only thing I could find was an article talking about Amazon Prime in Japan from the beginning of the year signing HBO in the US, not HBO Asia. If they were able to get HBO (including current programming like Game of Thrones), I don't see why Amazon Prime in the US can't get it too. So maybe a new deal was inked and HBO, again, had a change of heart and saw the benefit of leasing content to Amazon Prime.

      But, if that doesn't turn out to be the case, there was a quote in the article that could shed some light on the new expiration date.

      “As we see the progress and sub revenue acceleration in our digital business, I don't think you are going to see us extend or expand our relationship with our library programming on Amazon, and we have no plans to do that beyond the end of the date, which is the end of next year," said HBO Chairman and CEO Richard Plepler, speaking to investment analysts in May 2017.

      Based on that, it seems that the extension was til the end of this year. I don't ever really remember seeing it official that it was only a 1 year extension anyway.

      Here's hoping that did renew their agreements.

    4. I hope that second part about it actually being available til the end of the year instead of May turns out to be true. As for the first, they have that deal in place because HBO doesn't have its own streaming service in Japan like they do here. Apparently it's been better financially for them to just license to Hulu and Amazon than start their own HBO NOW Japan.

  20. So, has the former system changed? I think this blog used to know half a month or more ahead of time what was expiring on the 1st of the next month. Has that changed?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, Amazon has changed its policy recently. A few months ago (January, I think), Amazon changed its presentation and stopped providing notices altogether. Then, a month or two later, the notices reappeared but with only a two-week lead time.

      Amazon has always had a problem with some titles leaving with no notice, however. Sometimes they come back right away, sometimes they stay gone.

  24. Does this mean HBO and Amazon renewed their contract? That'd be swell, I'm getting sick of plowing through Curb Your Enthusiasm, even though it's probably the greatest thing ever. Also, thank you for your work, Shana. It's real helpful and I check this page out often.

    1. Hello Anonymous! I'm glad that this blog is helpful for you.

      About HBO:
      It looks like the HBO content has been renewed. All of the expiration notices for the HBO content have disappeared, and the HBO content that expired without notice has returned to Prime. Also, Unknown’s article (above) seems to suggest that the HBO content expires at the end of 2018. I hope this is true, and I will keep checking news articles in case anything changes.

    3. Thank you. I just noticed that. I searched under Prime Video which I thought would be a logical decision. I guess that Amazon is trying to hide it for some reason unless it's a glitch on their end. Very strange. Has Amazon done that before?

      Delete
    4. Yes. I have been unable to find movies on Prime Video that are Prime. What I've done is search for the title on IMDb or Instantwatcher and use their Amazon Prime link to find the expiring title. I don't have to do that very often, but it is frustrating when I do.

  55. Is anyone else getting these giant sized titles on their watchlist? It's really annoying.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I do not have large titles on the movie side. I have the same size movie posters that I've always had. I have 6 rows with 9 movie posters and one row (on the bottom) with six movie posters. On the TV show side, however, I do have bigger posters, but it had been that way for me for a while. It is 5 titles per row, with 12 rows.

      What do you see?

      Delete
    2. I have 20 rows of 3 movie posters. Both for movies and for TV shows, and the same format for my video library as well. It changed to this briefly a few days back, then a few hours later returned to normal. But as of yesterday it has stayed on this new, excessively large format.

      Delete
    3. I should mention that it is the same no matter which browser I use, Chrome or Firefox.

      Delete
    4. That sounds awful. I wonder if all of us will be switched over to the large format.

      Delete
    5. I've had the same thing as Anonymous where it showed up and then disappeared. It's back as of today. It's 20 rows of 3 and it's absolutely ridiculous. Change is almost always a pain with websites, but I'm not sure why Amazon goes out of their way to make their interface worse with each update.

      Delete
    6. Mine just switched. It's so annoying. It looks like they're trying to be Netflix instead of just being their own thing. You can tell they didn't think it all the way through because old movies that don't have a large image are just the small poster set inside a large empty rectangle.
