Not again! Wonder Woman sequel delayed to Christmas Day
It’s been
a topsy-turvy year, to say the least, and the film industry is among those
feeling it hardest.
News came
today, the sequel to Warner Bros hit, WonderWoman, will be delayed by almost three months from its October 2 premieredate amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Wonder Woman 1984 will not hit theatreson Christmas Day, December 25. The studio said, “We’re very proud of the film and look forward to bringing it toaudiences for the holidays.”
With most
studios delaying the release of new movies until…well, until people will
actually be able to watch them, the box office has been a pretty quiet since
around March.
Only one major movie, the US$200 million budget Tenet, has been released since most theatres shuttered. And while it did relatively well overseas, the movie found the going hard in the large US market where about a quarter of theatres remain closed.
