Why ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ Is Heading to Streaming for Its Big Christmas Release

The studio behind the new “Wonder Woman” movie was hoping to attract big crowds at the theater, but that’s not possible thanks to COVID-19. Instead, “Wonder Woman 1984” will be released on Christmas day, and will be the first film to ever stream on HBO Max and open in movie theaters on the same day. The follow up to the 2017 hit starring Gal Gadot is expected to make history as the biggest streaming debut ever, as the film will be available to stream at no extra cost for a month.
