Warner Bros.’s Wonder Woman 1984 , the only big movie still scheduled to be released (发行) in theaters this year, will come out on AT&T Inc.’s HBO Max the same day it appears in cinemas, an unusual approach that shows how much the coronavirus pandemic(submitting疫情) has affected Hollywood.
The film will appear in the U. S. theaters and HBO Max on Dec.25, nine days after it starts appearing at cinemas in international markets, Warner Bros., said in a statement Wednesday. HBO Max subscribers will have a month to see the movie at no additional cost.
The film’s director, Patty Jenkins, confirmed the move earlier in a tweet, saying that fans should see the movie in theaters if it’s safe to do sootherwise, they can enjoy it at home.
Releasing a would-be hit like Wonder Woman 1984 to home and theater audiences meanwhile would have been unthinkable earlier this year, and for decades before that. However, the pandemic has made it impossible for studios to generate the kind of returns at the box office they need to recover their investments in big films. Cinemas in two of the biggest moviegoing markets in the US-Los Angeles and New York City-are closed entirely.
Against this background, several major movies from other studios were shown online this year, including Walt Disney Co.’s Mulan. The studios have been typically charging about $20 to see those films at home. Wonder Woman 1984 won’t have an extra fee, but it will require fans to sign up for HBO Max, which costs $15 a month.
