the thing that worries me about this movie is Cheetah.. She doesn't look impressive in the trailer, imo. The weird thing is they've had plenty of time to do the look.

I think she looks good, only thing I'm not big on is the blonde hair but that's probably just because I'm used to red or no hair on the Barbara anthropomorphized Cheetah.

I agree. But, Patty Jenkins and the actors have talked about a heightened reliance on practical effects, so I can only hope that we get a good chunk of screen time spent with Kirsten Wiig in full makeup and prosthetics as Cheetah and a minimal amount of screen time with the ... not awesome looking CGI model spotted in the trailer. Failing that, hopefully Wiig makes a strong enough impression as Barbara pre-transformation that the CGI Cheetah doesn't detract too much from the character and her story.
The new Revlon feature thingy showed new footage & dialog between diana & barbara. Anyone see it?
I know some people on the internet are saying they are just ready for this movie to release already, and while I share some of that sentiment, I still hope they move this to June of 2021. I want a third Wonder Woman film, and I don't want financial underperformance as a result of covid to be a reason why we can't see a trilogy for Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman.
There are rumors - started by Grace Randolph, so grain of salt and all - that they will do a simultaneous theatrical and streaming release for Christmas. While a large percentage of me hates that idea, I've also come to peace with that as a prospect. It almost does make sense that during the dead of winter when people are presumably gathered and with their families but may be hesitant to leave the house for one reason or another, a streaming release at $30 could actually be successful. Not the preferred way I would want to see the film, but I've aleady decided my snacks, drinks and meal if that's the case.
Anyway, just needed to get that out. I'm so excited for Wonder Woman 1984 whenver and however we get it. Can't wait to see Wonder Woman, Steve, Cheetah and Maxwell Lord on the big or no so big screen in the upcoming months.

This is a concern for me as well, though I would hope that the studio wouldn't hold it against any film too much for underperforming during this entire situation

Sounds good to me. I'd pay to watch it (at home) on Boxing Day.

Patty has reiterated that WW84 will not go straight to streaming but will have a full theatrical release.

Eh, give it a week and they'll be on to something else.
Let's stay on topic, folks. The history of Cleopatra films isn't relevant to WW84.
[B]‘Wonder Woman 1984’: Warner Bros. Mulls January HBO Max Release or Delay to Summer 2021[/B]
[I]
Six weeks before “Wonder Woman 1984” is scheduled to open in theaters on Christmas, Warner Bros. execs are considering whether to push the highly anticipated superhero sequel to the summer of 2021, or keep the movie on its Dec. 25 theatrical debut and then put it on the HBO Max streaming service in early January, according to sources with knowledge of the plans.
The fate of the highly anticipated superhero film has been in limbo since the COVID-19 pandemic first hit in March, pushing the film’s theatrical release from June 5 to Aug. 14, then to Oct. 2, and finally to Dec. 25. But with COVID-19 cases spiking at alarming rates across the country, Warner Bros. is facing the the specter of another widespread shutdown, especially in major urban areas that drive the vast majority of the theatrical business. A cursory theatrical release could still support exhibitors on the knife’s edge of collapse, while also boosting subscriber growth for HBO Max, which has struggled to build an audience large enough to compete against Netflix, Amazon, and Disney Plus.
In its third quarter, WarnerMedia reported that HBO Max had 8.6 million total activations, with 38 millions subscribers to HBO and HBO Max combined. While that exceeded expectations for the year, HBO Max still trails its competitors by considerable margins. Placing a triple-A blockbuster like “Wonder Woman 1984” would be the biggest draw yet for the service, which hasn’t had a hit on par with “Hamilton” for Disney Plus or “The Old Guard” for Netflix. Considering that Disney’s stock price went up on Thursday after announcing 73 million Disney Plus subscribers through Q4 — despite also reporting a $710 million loss — it seems prudent for WarnerMedia to be laser-focused on driving growth for HBO Max.
“Wonder Woman 1984,” however, was supposed to be a billion-dollar grossing global sensation; any theatrical release next month would pale in comparison, a lesson the studio already learned the hard way with “Tenet.” With news that a COVID vaccine could be ready to disseminate through the first half of 2021, Warner Bros. brass are still considering pushing “Wonder Woman 1984” back into a summer release date, possibly in June (bumping a New Line Cinema horror title) or July (bumping the new “Space Jam” movie with LeBron James).
Pushing the theatrical release yet again was always a possibility for “WW84.” In a September interview with Variety about “WW84” costar Pedro Pascal, co-writer-director Patty Jenkins made clear that COVID was ultimately driving her movie’s fate.
“I don’t think anybody can be confident of anything right now,” Jenkins said. “We just don’t know what the course of COVID is going to be like.”
One thing that is pretty clear is that “WW84” will not skip theaters entirely. Jenkins has made no secret that she designed her movie for a big screen and feels strongly that it deserves to be seen there. And while a Warner Bros. representative declined to comment on “speculation” regarding the future of “WW84,” they did have one clear statement: “‘WW84’ will be in theaters.”
Bloomberg first reported the possibility of an HBO Max release for “WW84.”[/I]

Well, I guess an HBO Max release in January would make a nice belated Christmas gift. :p
I'm starting to think the 84 in the title doesn't mean what we think it means...

We’re all going to be as old as Gandalf before this god damn movie is released.
I don't know if I want to go to the theaters and Christmas I don't want to get sick just going to be tons of people there to see this movie

It is a sad paradox that in a year where people are inside more than ever, we do not have new movies to watch that have already been produced. :(
I really wanted to see this movie too.

This is great news that at least we will be able to finally see it next month.
It's going to hurt the movie's profitability, but I would hope WB has the good sense not to hold it against the movie considering it's a situation out of everyone's control.
Guess I have a reason to get an HBO Max subscription now.
At least for a month. :p
I guess they couldn't wait more
I hope Wonder Woman 3 gets good box office numbers with Circe as the villain
Can't wait to watch it in theaters, though it'll only be available on the 26th here so I have to wait just a tiny bit more

Well that sucks. Seems like for one reason or another, WW always gets the short end of the stick. This movie won't do a good profit if they realese it this year.
This is disappointing. I've been looking forward to this movie for two years but I'm not going to risk my life to see it and I'm not getting a subscription to a streaming service just to see one movie.
Looks like they're working on a program to rent out their own theaters to help protect against covid.

You can always cancel the subscription service, and if it's like other services it's about the price of a movie ticket (or less) anyway.

I’d assume most of the heads at WB would know this movie wouldn’t perform as well going to streaming as it would have if COVID had never blown up. Guess we can all just hope it does well enough on MAX.
What is the point in releasing it now? In this context it will not make a good profit. So what is the point?

There's a lot of good stuff on HBO Max, though. I'd say where it comes to content, it beats all the other streaming services.

I certainly hope that there is a WW3 (and with Circe!!!)
I hope that the studio does not cancel their plans for a [I]Wonder Woman 3[/I] when they see WW84 underperforming in theatres and when the overall money they make on streaming does not even come close to what they could have made in theatres in a COVID19-free world. I mean, at this point everyone knows that all films in theatres are either underperporming or flopping, and they should not hold it against future WW movies. It is easy to think "that goes without saying! Of course they will do a WW3! They know this is an extraordinary situation and it does not refelct on people's interest in Wonder Woman the character!" but, we all know that Wonder Woman has never been treated (by the powers that be) as well as Superman and Batman. There has always been a double standard when it comes to movies/franchises starring women, and it sucks!
I love the way they give the choice to the countries with HBO Max but if your in country without it like the U.K. you get no choice. So they can F off I won’t be seeing the film fall stop. I thought the decision on Tenet was down to the director but maybe not.
If Disney make something available on Disney+ then that’s fine as most countries can see it. But HBO Max has such a limited global reach that it effectively means it doesn’t get seen. Much new material on the service has never been picked up over here in the U.K. as it relies on someone like SKY picking it up as they have a first look deal, and often they just don’t seem to have any interest.
