Wonder Woman 1984 is reportedly set to lose its Christmas release date. With most cinemas in the US' biggest markets (New York and Los Angeles) and most of Western Europe (now in a second lockdown) closed, Warner Bros. and the Wonder Woman 1984 team — star Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins, who are also producers on the DC film — are planning where next to take the Wonder Woman sequel. The report suggests that June 2021 is a “logical” spot, as the first film opened in that month, and Wonder Woman 1984 was set for June 2020 before COVID-19 began playing spoilsport.

December 25, that would put it around November 13 next week.

There's contrasting info on the probability of Wonder Woman 1984 ending up on pay-per-view. Cinema exhibitor insiders told Deadline that Warner Bros. has “flirted” with the idea of releasing the movie online 17–21 days after premiering it in theatres, while studio insiders claimed there is “no such plan in the works”, given the first Wonder Woman movie made over $800 million at the box office. That said, even if Wonder Woman 1984 does go to pay-per-view, this would not necessarily apply to India.

If — or more likely when, as it seems — Wonder Woman 1984 does move, it would clear out the Hollywood year-end release calendar with it. Deadline says Free Guy (currently slated for December 11) and Agatha Christie adaptation Death on the Nile (December 18, it also stars Gadot), if Wonder Woman 1984 vacates its Christmas window.

Monster Hunter is slated to release in India in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu on December 30.

Wonder Woman 1984 is expected to move to June 4, 2021, where Warner Bros. currently has The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. If it picks that date, the Wonder Woman sequel will open a week after the next recently moved to the end of May, and a week prior to Ghostbusters: Afterlife (June 11, 2021).
