WONDER WOMAN 1984… did well this weekend. We think.

This is, like, terra incognita territory, all right? “Wonder Woman 1984 opened to an estimated $16.7 million over Christmas weekend, the best three-day debut at the distressed domestic box office since the novel coronavirus began, according to Warner Bros.” Which gives you an idea of just how messed up the movie industry is, these days.

This still could’ve been possible in the November 2019 slot, but would also put the sequel’s legs up against SonicTerminator 6Frozen 2, and more. There’s still plenty of competition in the summer of 2020, but after the success the first film had in the same window, WB saw an opportunity to move Wonder Woman 1984 back to this time frame after removing Six Billion Dollar Man from their slate.
