It's strange how 1984 is this sort of epicenter in pop culture right now, between AHS and Wonder Woman. Like, I'd expect it from a year divisible by 5.
I'm sure that around the Holidays movie going will increase, but i'd still give a solid35-40% chance that this movie changes release dates again if we see No Time To Die and Sould under-perform and then some of those big movies in early December like Free Guyy, Top Gun 2 and Dune underperform. Although eventually, there comes a point where these need to be released. Can't go full 'The New Mutants' and hold onto it for 3 years.
Wonder Woman 1984 has been leaked for HBOMax, will release for no additional fee on Christmas Day, ontop of the Theatrical Release.
The video this was shown in was taken down by WB themselves--seems they may be prepping for an announcement this week.

Kind of whiffs of desperation on Warner's part. They must really want HBO Max to be successful to drop one of their biggest blockbusters. Either that or, as mentioned before, they don't see any hope for next summer. It could be a mix of the two.Tough time for female superhero’s if both WW1984 and Black Widow end up basically skipping theaters. Like, sure this would go into theaters, but whose gonna go if you can spend $15 for a month of HBO Max and watch it at home with the whole family?
My thought too.I'd suspect Column A/B.
COVID has really accelerated everyone’s move to streaming. I think this type of day and date release on theatrical/streaming will become the norm for all movies going forward.
I just don't think it will be enough to keep theaters going however. Like, how much money will AMC realistically be making from the Croods versus how much money Universal will make from it on PVOD? Why would anyone bother with the expense of five WW84 tickets when they can watch it online for a third of the price?COVID has really accelerated everyone’s move to streaming.

They probably go the Paramount route and sell it for their estimated break-even point to one of the major streaming services like Netflix or Amazon.I'm genuinely curious to see how Sony is going to handle things going forward. They don't have a proper outlet for streaming, and they have multiple high level films that are probably waiting for release. I'm also willing to wonder if NBCU/Comcast may be looking into Fast8, considering that's complete and finished.
Sony does own Crackle. It’s not that popular of a service and nor does Sony seem to be caring to go all-in on it, but if they are smart, they will rebrand it going forward and put more money towards it.‘Wonder Woman 1984’ to Debut Both on HBO Max and in Theaters
