Warner Bros. Offers 31 Classic Films Free on YouTube

Warner Bros. Entertainment has recently made 31 full-length films available for free on YouTube, a strategic move to generate ad revenue from its extensive catalog. The selection includes a mix of classic and lesser-known titles, such as 'Mutiny on the Bounty,' 'The 11th Hour,' and 'Mr. Nice Guy,' with no subscription required for viewing. This initiative marks a departure from the company's previous attempts to monetize films through subscription services and reflects a shift in strategy under CEO David Zaslav. While some films are geo-blocked, the majority are accessible to viewers in various regions, a deviation from common practices that often limit access. The playlist has sparked speculation about Warner Bros.' long-term digital strategy, especially since many of these titles are not available on its subscription service, Max. Overall, this move has been welcomed by audiences who appreciate the availability of classic films without payment barriers.
