Wonder Woman 1984 has been delayed indefinitely.(Update: Moved to Christmas 2020)
- Thread starter IDontBeatGames
- Start date
Yeah, if WW84 is moving to later in the year then Dune will prob move to next year altogether.
First it was October, then it was November.
I guess Tenet scared the shit out of them. If movies are going to stop coming out I'm not even sure there is a point to have movie theaters open. They are ultimately going to need a government bailout.
Edit: or maybe I have that backwards. Either way, I don't think this comes out this year. October is not going to look any worse than November or December, if anything we expect Winter to rise the cases.

Says it's postponed to a date later this year. Still probably taking the Dune slot when they eventually announce Dune's delay.

Things are going to be worse in November. It will be delayed again.
For me, this is the one that will really sting :(
But there's no other choice.
I've seen tons of WW84 merchandise at the neighborhood pharmacy. Curious when we'll stop seeing planned cross promotional materials for films that are delayed.
It also meant they need to keep Tenet out longer to make more money so they didn't want WW to come out and cannibalize each other
Just a reminder that Tenet was 'Delayed Indefinitely' until WB set a new date like, a week later.
My guess is that both this & Dune get pushed to 2021. Tenet showed what the market honestly is for a new release in theaters right now - and it just isn't enough to justify releasing a tentpole.

Can't delay it "again" when it's delayed indefinitely, at this point that keeps it safe from another "delay" announcement. They'll likely keep it this way and just announce it when the time is right and it seems like movies are back in business
I don't get why WB is launching anything this year to begin with. Or any of the studios for that matter.
Yeah I guess they were not too happy with Tenet
I'm selfishly glad for this. I was crushed that I wouldn't get to see Dune in the theater.

studios need to embrace digital for the time being, one of the first things i want to do is go back to the theater after the vaccine.
being home is no substitute for going out, and i think studios dont get this. this isn't a thing where digital will kill theaters, its that theaters will literally kill people right now

I still can't believe that they used a 200m dollar film as social experiment.
My soul...
This won't come out until next summer. Things will only get worse covid-wise as the weather gets colder. If they want to make before-times level profits from the cinematic release, they're going to have to keep this movie in their back pockets for a long time.

Yep they definitely marketed that October date. I mean I guess there is nothing stopping them from changing the date despite advertising but has there ever been anything like that happen where a company advertises the date through products and the like, and then changes the release significantly?
Discussions are possibly going on at WB about releasing WW84 Digitally

How badly has it done? I haven't kept an eye on the box office of the movie.
Very wild that they decided to release a Nolan film during all this.
With new restrictions here in the UK, I imagine James Bond will also be delayed.
The last that I checked it still hadn't cleared the films production budget WW. It did respectably overseas but too many major US markets aren't even allowing theaters to open and the few that are have reduced capacity. It was an awful decision to make for a film that would have been packing theaters during normal times.
