Warner Bros. Comes to a “Wonder Woman 1984” Compromise: Theaters and HBO Max on Christmas Day

Share

Warner Bros. has come to a Solomonic decision about Patty Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman 1984.” It will open on Christmas Day both in theaters and on HBO Max.

The pandemic has forced them do it, there was no way they could hold it anymore. And with many states having closed theaters, and COVID spreading, this was a wise move. See it at home or see it in the theaters.

Jenkins has posted a couple of notices on Twitter. One is below. The other is “We have plans to hold it in theaters for quite a long time, and hopefully long enough that it will still be there when theaters all over the world ARE open.”

Something to look forward to on December 25th. I will watch it at home. And see it again on the big screen when there’s a vaccine.
