Can a nostalgia-packed superhero flick convince people to leave their couches and head to the cinemas? “Wonder Woman 1984” seeks to answer that question.
Movie theater owners are hopeful that the “Wonder Woman” sequel, which arrives Christmas Day, will lure a key demographic back to cinemas despite continued surges in coronavirus cases.
But, the ongoing pandemic isn’t their only concern. On the same day that “Wonder Woman 1984” debuts on the big screen, it will also be available to stream on HBO Max.
″‘Wonder Woman 1984’ represents the first test of a simultaneous big screen/small screen release of a title of this magnitude,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore.
Box office analysts have mixed opinions about how well the film will perform at the domestic box office. “Wonder Woman 1984” underperformed last weekend in its international debut, hauling in around $38.5 million. This was well below the $60 million that the industry had forecast.
“While many will be choosing to stay home this holiday and watch the film, fans and families in markets where safe and able to do so could turn out in relatively fair numbers, though a far cry from what they would typically be for a blockbuster superhero sequel opening on Christmas.”
