Pushing Wonder Woman sequel to 2020 is a HUGE mistake

**Slowpokeking** · 10-23-2018, 04:21 PM

I think it's a very wrong move by WB.

Wonder Woman is their most popular heroine for now, and one of the founders of the Justice League. Pushing back the most popular heroine, one of the JL leaders' movie for a villain one was just nonono.

I hadn't heard about this-- so WW 1984 is pushed back to 2029? Why?

Wonder Woman would have shared a month with Frozen 2. It would have no chance at making long term money sticking to it's original date.

That's not a train of logic that was applied to Aquaman, and that is in far more desperate need of a date move than WW.

Come on, although Aquaman is definitely facing stiff competition none of it is going to be anywhere near Frozen 2, that's going to be pretty much the only movie people go to see the month it comes out.

DC should have moved the film up imo

Yeah Frozen is the most popular Disney feature post the golden age and it's one of it's biggest modern properties in the main animation line. Disney almost never does a theatrical release for a sequel. Films like Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, the Little Mermaid all never got their sequels to be real full feature releases. It will be huge. Anything that goes up against it is screwed. Maybe Wonder Woman make smoney, but it's potential is hurt badly.

It's easy to put in in another spot on 2019. WB got tons of movies.

There are rumors - true or not - that WB is expecting a very similar response to Aquaman that they got with Justice League and much like Justice League they're simply releasing the movie knowing it's not going to do well just to get it over with.

With Wonder Woman, you're getting a 3-year gap between films, which has been the norm for Marvel more or less with their films. Seeing as Wonder Woman is the only successful film both commercially and critically in the DC filmverse, it makes sense to give it a proper release date to ensure continued success for the character.

Delays... delays everywhere.

It's probably possible but I wouldn't buy to much into that rumor.

Are they doing this because of the election? They want hate purchasing to stick it to the right?

If Aquaman fails, they can just write it off because it's Aquaman.

A Wonder Woman failure would be more disastrous, I think.

I don't believe that rumor at all. I expect Aquaman to have better reviews than JL(although I liked it myself) but do wonder if it can beat the domestic gross of JL with the stiff competition.

So according to some sources the reason Wonder Woman is delayed is because Wonder Woman will be the Flashpoint movie instead of the Flash movie being the Flashpoint movie and the Flash movie will
just be a Flash movie. This is to reboot the DCEU and explain the new Batman and Superman, when those movies ever get made. So this requires extensive reshooting for Wonder Woman. Also probably
why the Flash movie is delayed until 2021.
