Before the pandemic, the general performance and reception of the Disney-era Star Wars films was not great. They had cancelled plans for any more Han Solo films, the Boba Fett movie, and the Obi-Wan movie, as well as a rumored new trilogy by Rian Johnson. Disney was clearly taking a break from Star Wars films in theaters long before Covid 19. So I would not take this as a solid data point regarding the future of theaters. Time will tell. Let's look at how theaters are doing in August 2021.

For SW this isn't really news. Disney told us nearly a year ago that for SW the focus for the near future was going to be tv/streaming.
And we already knew they had a bunch of Marvel shows planned.
But even without such statements, why do you imagine they went to all the expense of building thier own streaming service? Surely they were planning on filling it with more than just thier back catolog....

Just found out the local Cinemark is actually open.
Last I knew it was completely closed except for private $99 group parties (good if you've got enough people to justify the cost, not so good for groups of 1_2...)
I ran into the one manager at the grocery store.
I guess their turnout for anything has been super low. Like 20 people for the same evening showing last sat. And low single digits for anything during the day.
So maybe I will get to see WW on the big screen vs adding HBOmax just yet.
I'll just wait until the 1st/2nd week of Jan & hit an early- mid afternoon showing on a Tuesday or something.
If there's even 5 other people that day there'll still be an acre of space between any of us.

I noticed my one was offering rent a theatre private group bring your on game console $250 NZD ($175 approx). Only 2 hours though.
Or hire a theatre up to 20 friends and watch some older movies.
Ended up with 6 people in it but it wasn't a AAA or even new release.
Apparently it's made less than 100k and it was a great movie so it's sad.
Finally info on when we in the UK can watch it via digital on-demand rental services (doesn't say which).

January 13th. That's nearly 3 weeks after the US, so I still predict this will be the most pirated movie in history.
WONDER WOMAN 1984: Warner Bros. Reveals When The DC Sequel Hits PVOD Platforms In The UK
Wonder Woman 1984 is currently only playing in cinemas in the UK, but with the U.S. getting the DC Comics sequel on HBO Max on Christmas Day, a PVOD debut has finally been confirmed for the country...

Yeah, they really need to figure out a better strategy for getting these streaming offerings to people outside the US. These days, people aren't prepared to wait 3 weeks and get it completely spoiled (while not being able to discuss it with their US-based online friends until it's too late). With an entire year with all of their movies? They'll lose so much money worldwide to piracy unless they come up with something better.
