    Default When the movie comes out, will you see it in the theater?

    I want to say first that this post is not a judgment on individual choices anyone makes; I'm just curious to know how many people plan to see the movie in the theater.

    Having known a few people who got very sick from COVID-19, I breathed a sigh of relief when the WW 84 movie was pushed to December and I didn't have to make a decision about whether I'd support the theatrical release by attending in person. Although I know a few people who have been to the movies and described their experience as safe and enjoyable, I'm just not ready to take that risk, no matter how much I want the film franchise to succeed and how much I really do want to see the film on the big screen.

    One option I've considered is buying a ticket to support the theatrical release but just staying home. Someone else I know is planning to rent a showing and just take the people in his "pod."

    Anyway, what about you? Will your favorite superhero get your butt into a theater seat, will you wait until an effective vaccine exists, or do you have another plan?

    Not until there’s a vaccine. This was one of only two movies I was looking forward this year to but it’s not worth the risk.

    I concur. Even Spike Lee said he wouldn't step foot inside a movie theater until there's a vaccine. And that dude makes a living from those places.
    Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.

    Yes, I would. I usually like to go to movies during down times, regardless. I hate crowded theaters. If there is a early showing, I would go with my mask and face shield. I simply wouldn't eat or drink anything.

    Regardless of whether a vaccine releases anytime soon, I would not feel comfortable being in a theater without a face mask until 2022 or 2023 at the earliest, so a vaccine does not necessarily stop me from wanting to go.

    P.S. One reason for this is I live near a locally owned theater that gets modest business, at best. If I lived near the massive AMC I used to live by, that would significantly change my mind.

    If they release the movie only in theatres I will NOT see it. If they incorporate a digital component in their release strategy I will PVOD it.

    I love Wonder Woman however I like the things that being healthy provides me much more. Further, I like being alive. When you die you lose an important part of your life.

    I would have before COVID. Unless something changes with Dish and HBO I expect I'll wait for the Blu Ray.
