As part of the announcement, Gadot, Pascal and Wiig, along with co-star Chris Pine and CEO Patty Jenkins, appeared at DCFanDome, a free virtual event DC Comics held Saturday to showcase some of their upcoming projects.Wonder Woman 1984 is one of the most anticipated of these projects, with 2017s Wonder Woman a critical hit and an office hit, netting more than $ 821 million worldwide compared to a budget reported below $ 100 million. cnxps.cmd.push (function () {cnxps ({playerId: ’36af7c51-0caf-4741-9824-2c941fc6c17b’}). render (‘4c4d856e0e6f4e3d808bbc1715e132f6’);});The film was originally slated for a June 5 release. Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic shutting down theaters around the world, its release date has been postponed to August 14, only to be reprinted. At the time of this writing, the film is projected for a release date of October 2, according to multiple media reports. However, it is the fact that the film will only have a theatrical release, instead of being exclusively or simultaneously on digital release platforms. This is indicated in the trailer itself, which ends with “ONLY IN THEATERS.” Due to the coronavirus pandemic that forces theaters to close, many movies are released exclusively on online platforms, such as HBOMax and Disney +. Earlier this year, however, AT&T CEO John Stankey discussed which movies will be released by Warner Bros. (an AT&T subsidiary) would be released digitally, although some of the larger titles are likely to be released only theatrically. ‘ I think there may be some things we built for theatrical release that migrate to a [streaming] construct? Sure, ‘Stankey said, according to a report on tech news website The Verge. ‘Will it happen on a movie like that Tenet of Wonder Woman 1984? I would be very surprised. ”
