Movies: Wonder Woman:1984 : Xmas day release

[Do Make Say Think]

Another trailer that gives away way too much.

Ah well, not like I was going to see it. Superhero fatigue is real AFAIC.

 

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

Oddly, I thought Pedro Pascal in this was Nathan Fillion. Huh.

 

[Voight]

Kinda feels like they're trying to rip of Thor Ragnarok's energy a bit. If it works, I'm down.

I really hate Pine being back though. As was said above it really cheapens one of the best parts of WW and the character's general arc.


Wouldn't explain why he didn't age.

good genes lol

I have no idea what this movie is about, besides being about Wonder Woman.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Yeah aside from Pine’s character being back (which was already reported), then I have no idea what else we learned about where this story is going.

 

[Osprey]

It seems like it might involve time travel. That's the simplest explanation for Pine's character returning. Perhaps, instead of killing him, the explosion somehow sent him forward in time to 1984, where Wonder Women discovers him after living the last 66 years grieving over his death. Whatever the explanation, it appears as though it'll partially play out like a time travel movie with Pine's character being a fish out of water in a 1984 that's futuristic and strange to him. I suspect that a lot of the movie's humor will revolve around that. It could be funny to see a character from 1918 react with wonder and confusion to 1984 technologies and fashion that are now terribly old-fashioned and obsolete to us.

It's unfortunate that DC trailers always lead to letdowns

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Not a lot of love showing off Cheetah in the trailer. Wasn't she one of WW's biggest rivals?

 

[johnjm22]

I like the use of Blue Monday in the trailer.

Seems this is the version used in the trailer:

I'd definitely watch it.

 

[Jumptheshark]

looks like a few companies are considering VOD this summer for their big movies

 

[ItsFineImFine]

I don't see any big movies coming out on VOD, only smaller/mid-budget ones. Those big movies are the ones that are an actual cashcow in terms of ticket revenue.

John Campea did some math on this. This is/was expected to be a billion dollar movie at the theaters and in order ot make similar money on VOD, it would need be in the range of ~16 million buys at something like 20ish dollars IIRC. Question becomes where could they get something like that because DC Universe isn't available globally and I'm not sure if HBO Max is either.

Agreed.

WW 1984 has been postponed until at least August, officially.

 

[beowulf]

Has been delayed yet again to October 2nd now.

That's a shame.

$20? I want to see it but I don’t think I’ve paid $20 for a movie in my life.

You must not live in California. Here the average ticket price is over $15. Plus gas and concessions.

A trip to the movie theater can easily be $100 for a family.

$20 seems like a pretty good deal considering the whole family can sit down and watch it.

Pretty sure I can get imax tickets under $20 haha. Here it’s around $10 and they’ll have certain days where it’s $5 or less.

 

[Mario_is_BACK!!]

In my part of South Carolina tickets aren’t that crazy but it’s easily $20 for my wife and I to get tickets to new releases. If they offered VOD for that much on opening weekend during all of this I’d gladly slap down that much for, say Wonder Woman or Black Widow (probably the only movies I’d be going to see release wise even without this nonsense).

 

[Osprey]

Edit: I'll move what I just wrote to the new thread that you just started, Mario, since it seems more appropriate there.

 

[ORRFForever]

I keep reading how awful it is. Straight to VOD works for me. Hopefully the franchise will die after that.
