Warner Bros. has confirmed its intention to release expected to be at some point in the future.
There was, of course, a report back in March claiming Wonder Woman 1984 could Tenet, has yet to budge from its previously-scheduled release date in mid-July, even as it remains unclear whether theaters will even be reopen for business by then.
In new statements to WarnerMedia is "rethinking the theatrical model" in the wake of the ongoing health crisis. As Stankey explained to THR, that doesn't mean the studio is anticipating releasing the majority of its films straight to streaming moving forward:
Theatrical films have always been a major part of the our ecosystem. I fully expect that as we evaluate our business going forward, we will continue to champion creative work that is worthy of the theatrical experience.
As has been pointed out before, films like Wonder Woman 1984 and Tenet are dependent on their performance at the international box office to make a profit, and it would be extremely difficult-to-impossible for them to gross the same amount via on-demand rentals. Because of this, it's safe to assume those movies will eventually make their way to the big screen, even as WB continues to rethink whether certain delayed titles would be Trolls World Tour.)
That being said, it's anyone's guess when theaters will actually reopen their doors at this stage. Chains like Cinemark are hoping to begin showing new movies around the middle of July (Connie Nielsen has expressed her doubts about theaters being up and running again by the time the sequel's mid-August release date rolls around. Still, whenever that does happen, audiences can look forward to getting to enjoy WB's latest big-budget spectacles in all their glory on the big screen.
