The pandemic has changed many human experiences and one of the latest ones is the change in the way we watch films. Warner Bros had announced that “Wonder Woman 1984” would debut on HBO Max, on Christmas, at the same time it debuts in theaters.
The studio has now announced that it was deploy the same release strategy throughout 2012. It will release its entire slate of 17 movies, both on HBO and in theaters on their respective release dates.
These movies are:
- The Matrix 4
- Dune – remake
- in The Heights – musical adaptation
- The Many Saints of Newark ( The Sopranos prequel)
- The Suicide Squad
- The Little Things
- Judas and the Black Messiah
- Tom and Jerry – a remake
- Godzilla vs Kong
- Mortal Kombat – video game adaptation
- Those Who Wish Me Dead
- The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do it
- Space Jam: A New Legacy

Warner Media chair and CEO, Ann Sarnoff said that this model was a “unique one-year plan.”
“We’re living in unprecedented times which call for creative solutions, including this new initiative for the Warner Bros. Picture Group,” Sarnoff said in a statement. “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 2012.”
