In a surprising about-face, AMC Entertainment CEO and President Adam Aron released a statement in support of Warner Bros.’ decision to release Wonder Woman 1984 online at the same time as its theatrical release.
We hope movie lovers enjoy Wonder Woman 1984 during the holidays this year at AMC.”
There is the fact that Wonder Woman 1984 will release in theaters alongside its HBO Max release, so theaters will be getting at least some of the money from audiences.
AMC has been a particularly fierce opponent of studios wishing to release their movies online before a theatrical release.
