Something extra will be under the Christmas Tree this year…
Instead of delaying the inevitable, Warner Bro’s officially announced that the surefire blockbuster hit Wonder Woman 1984, would hit theaters and the HBO Max streaming platform simultaneously on Christmas Day.
This pandemic is gutting the film industry as far as theaters are concerned, but in my personal opinion this really is best case scenario. Unlike Mulan that gave the middle finger to theaters and went exclusive to Disney+ (with a hefty $29.99 price tag), Wonder Woman 1984 will give theaters a chance to fill some seats. I for one subscribe to HBO Max and still plan to see it in theaters assuming it hits my local IMAX (fingers crossed!). Maybe I will even come home and watch again from the comfort of my couch.
HBO has weathered the storm quite well as far as subscribers, but have said that the vast majority of people have yet to activate their no additional cost HBO Max subscription. The hope is that Wonder Woman 1984 will change that.
Directed by Patty Jenkins, Wonder Woman 1984 stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Pedro Pascal, and Kristen Wiig.
