We have seen movies shift release dates all year. The entire time, everyone has been wondering which movie would be the huge shift, the one where studios would possibly cut their losses and begin to shift the entire industry toward day-and-date.
This was not going to be a move taken lightly. Mostly for the echoing ramifications and entire industrial wave it would make.
Well, that move is here.
Warner Bros. has moved Wonder Woman 1984 from exclusively theatrical to a day-and-date premiere on Christmas. That means if you are not comfortable attending the theater during the pandemic, you can watch the movie at home.
This decision was not made lightly. The film's director, Patty Jenkins, lamented the fact that not everyone would be able to see the movie in theaters. But this is definitely a business decision. The movie shifted from the summer to the fall to Christmas, and there were rumblings it could go until late next year.
