As we all know, for Christmas, Patty Jenkins and co. have decided to premiere the much anticipated Wonder Woman sequel earlier than its 2021 release date, which was announced last week. Jenkins announced that ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ will release on HBO Max for streaming in all the countries that the platform is available in. The streaming will start on Christmas (on 25th December) and will continue to stream for a month.
While this is happening, the movie is also set to be premiering globally, in theaters (as well as select theaters in North America). And it is expected to start from 16th December onwards. A few hours ago, Warner Bros. had dropped the world wide release plan for the film and it is as follows:
Wednesday, December 16 — Belgium, Bulgaria. Egypt, Estonia, France, Greece, Holland, Iceland, Indonesia, Portugal, South Africa, Switzerland, United Kingdom

Those who may have noticed, the film is set to release here, in India on 25th December 2020. Hopefully more theaters will have opened up by then and we will have our safety protocols stepped up a notch. This film will be Warner Bros. 2nd biggest film to launch during the pandemic, after TENET. We hope Wonder Woman does as well as the Christopher Nolan epic (as well as it can during these difficult times) in the global market.
