Warner Bros. has unveiled international release dates forWonder Woman 1984after announcing last week that the superhero sequel would arrive in the U.S. on Christmas Day in select theaters as well as on HBO Max.
However, HBO Max isn’t yet available overseas, soWonder Woman 1984will begin rolling out in theaters on Dec. 16 in major markets such as France and the U.K. That’s more than a week before American audiences will be able to watch the comic book movie from the comfort of their homes (or phones).Varietyreports that Warners made that decision in an effort to avoid piracy, which is bound to happen as soon as a film begins streaming.
Roughly half of all theaters in the U.S. remain closed due to the surge in COVID-19 cases , as are hundreds of theaters across Europe, though movie theaters in France were recently given permission to reopen on Dec. 15, the day beforeWW84opens in that country.
