Fans have been waiting years for its arrival, and on Monday, Zack Snyder’s Justice League came ten days early for some HBO Max subscribers.
In a surprising turn of events, some subscribers were able to access the Snydercut while attempting to watch Tom & Jerry, the new CGI live-action hybrid film from director Tim Story.
The Justice League error first came to light when Doug Bass of Charlotte, North Carolina noted it on Twitter. Bass told The Hollywood Reporter he attempted to watch Tom & Jerry, but instead was able to access one hour of Justice League before it was cut off. When Bass went back to play the film, Tom & Jerry played.
Several other users have noted this error, and THR was able to access Justice League via HBO Max. For Bass, seeing a bit of Justice League was a nice surprise on a Monday afternoon.
“I just wanted to put on Tom & Jerry for background noise while I worked, and instead I watched an hour of an amazing movie,” says Bass.
Reps for HBO Max were not immediately available to comment.
