When we saw the announcement that WarnerMedia chose to release Wonder Woman 1984 in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneously in the United States, we expected to see that the big theater chains would show it. They’d be crazy not to.
#1 AMC has confirmed as much within 24 hours of the announcement.
AMC Entertainment said in a statement attributed to president and CEO Adam Aron that it “will show this eagerly awaited movie on our big screens all across our global network.”
AMC Responds to ‘Wonder Woman 2’ Streaming Move: ‘Atypical Circumstances’ Call For ‘Atypical Windows’
Regal #2 theaters are still closed all over the United States. Will they reopen in time for Wonder Woman? Unknown. We haven’t seen any quotes about how they will handle WW1984 in their theaters. They were strongly against day and date releases for streaming. They like the legacy theatrical window.
Cinemark #3 in most number of studios also hasn’t weighed in yet. Again, they would be foolish not to screen WW1984.
Either way, moviegoers will get to see this movie — if they want — before the end of 2020. In a year when new movies intended for theaters are rampantly being delayed or sold to streaming, this is a good thing.

While good news.. I highly doubt there will be many theaters open at Xmas.. Some drive-ins sure..but I highly doubt any sit-in theaters as the virus is out of control and seeing pics of people not caring in packed airports..tells me all I need to know.

Sounds like it won’t be in 4K on HBO Max, but guessing a good amount of people will watch it there and not care too much. 1080p still looks pretty good.
