The Shining Rises Among HBO Max’s Most-Watched Films in the US
Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film The Shining is one of the most-watched movies on HBO Max in the United States.
The film stars Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall and adapts Stephen King’s horror novel.
King famously disliked the adaptation, criticizing its main characters and saying it lacked warmth.
The film was a modest box-office success and received a poor critical reception when it was released.
Its reputation has since changed, and it is now widely regarded as a major horror film.
Interest in King adaptations has risen during the Halloween season, alongside a new Carrie series directed by Mike Flanagan.
The available information does not say what will happen next with The Shining on HBO Max.
