When will ‘Elvis’ be on HBO Max?

Once “Elvis” is available on HBO Max, all subscribers will be able to watch the movie at no additional cost. HBO Max costs $10/month for ad-supported access to the entire streaming library. For ad-free streaming, you can upgrade to the $15/month plan, which also lets you download titles for offline viewing and stream select movies in 4K.
