Even if you can't come to theatres to watch Wonder Woman 1984 this Christmas Day, you'll still be able to watch it at home. Warner Bros. Pictures is pushing through with its "hybrid release strategy" in Canada as it'll be available for video-on-demand rental the same day it will debut in movie theatres. This move comes after Warner initially announced that WW84 would only be available in Canadian cinemas, even though many of them are closed because of COVID-19 restrictions.
Due to "varying market restrictions," Warner decided to go with this new release option so it can reach more viewers. Wonder Woman 1984 will come with a $29.99 rental price for 48 hours. But Warner hasn't mentioned which platforms will carry the film. The studio shifted the movie's December 25 premiere to its HBO Max streaming service in the US, causing quite a stir there. HBO Max isn't available here, though.
