WarnerMedia recently announced all of their Warner Bros. films that will be hitting the theatres (and their streaming service on HBO Max) in 2021. Whilst some of these films were originally set to hit theatres this year, others were set to premiere in 2021 since the start.
Last month, the studio also announced that it would be releasing Wonder Woman 1984 with this strategy on Christmas, with most fans assuming this was an original situation to ensure as many people as possible could see a film that had already faced several delays.
Ann Sarnoff, Chair and CEO shared, ‘We’re living in unprecedented times which call for creative solutions, including this new initiative for the Warner Bros. Pictures Group…No one wants films back on the big screen more than we do. We know new content is the lifeblood of theatrical exhibition, but we have to balance this with the reality that most theaters in the U.S. will likely operate at reduced capacity throughout 2021.’ So, without further ado…
