For now, HBO Max gets easily the biggest title in its history — and theaters are in even deeper trouble.
That’s because after many delays, it appears that Wonder Woman 1984 — featuring Gal Gadot’s superhero in battle with Pedro Pascal’s Max Lord — will now premiere on HBO Max on Christmas, the same day it also premieres in theaters.
It got pushed to August, and then to October, and then to Christmas, where it will now open simultaneously in theaters and on streaming.
Since then, it’s bounced around the release calendar more than bullets ricocheting off Wonder Woman’s magic bracelets.
