WONDER WOMAN 1984‘s Christmas Day 2020 theatrical release will stay intact. AND…
Warner Bros. also announced that it will debut on HBO Max on the same day it will open in U.S. movie theaters. The film will stream on HBO Max for a month at no additional cost to subscribers.
Internationally, where HBO Max is not available, WW84 will premiere on December 16th (a week prior to the U.S. debut).
Here’s what WW84‘s director Patty Jenkins had to say…

And a few words from Warner/Warner Bros. Pictures…
“As we navigate these unprecedented times, we’ve had to be innovative in keeping our businesses moving forward while continuing to super-serve our fans,” said Ann Sarnoff, chair and CEO of WarnerMedia Studios and Networks Group, which includes Warner Bros. Pictures. “This is an amazing film that really comes to life on the big screen and, working with our partners in the exhibition community, we will provide that option to consumers in the U.S. where theaters are open. We realize that a lot of consumers can’t go back to the movies due to the pandemic, so we also want to give them the option to see Wonder Woman 1984 via our HBO Max platform.”
“We appreciate how patient audiences have been and given the great anticipation around WONDER WOMAN 1984 we are grateful to be able to make this terrifically entertaining movie widely available in these challenging times,” said Toby Emmerich, chairman of Warner Bros. Pictures Group.
Personally, I’m going to do my best to see WW84 in a theater. Unfortunately, there will be no press screenings here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area due to COVID-19, but most theaters around me are open. I did see TENET in the theater back in the Summer, so I do know that the theaters due make it a safe experience when visiting them to see a movie. Regardless, BOF will review WW84 and will also discuss the film on a BOF Podcast and an episode of The BOF Social Hour (vlog). – Bill “Jett” Ramey
