‘Wonder Woman 1984’ sets PH release date to January
Warner Bros. has unveiled the new global release dates for Wonder Woman 1984. After months of scheduling and rescheduling due to the global pandemic, the company announced that the superhero film will debut in both in theaters and HBO Max on December 25.
According to Variety , U.S. viewers will be able to watch the film on both platforms, but it will have a staggered rollout in cinemas worldwide.
The Philippines is a trickier affair, as cinemas still have not opened (save for drive-in variety), with numerous theater workers having lost their jobs in the past few months. The official announcement has pegged the Philippine release at January 8, but it still depends on whether cinemas will be allowed to open at the time.
HBO Max is currently not available in the Philippines, although HBO GO–a similar but fundamentally different service–is still available .
Despite the situation, foreign films are still not allowed to open during the Christmas season due to the Metro Manila Film Festival, which is going digital.
