PUSHED BACK

‘Wonder Woman 1984’ and ‘In the Heights’ Debuts Postponed by Warner Bros.

The move comes as the U.S. box office records zero revenue for the first time in history amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Warner Bros. studio is postponing the debut of Wonder Woman 1984 and In the Heights due to the coronavirus pandemic. The move comes as the U.S. box office records zero revenue for the first time ever as the virus grips the nation and has forced the closure of movie theaters across the country. Wonder Woman, initially set for a release on June 5, will now debut in theaters on Aug. 14. The release of In the Heights, the adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit musical that focuses on the Dominican-American community in New York’s Washington Heights, is postponed indefinitely. “When we greenlit Wonder Woman 1984, it was with every intention to be viewed on the big screen and [we] are excited to announce that Warner Bros. Pictures will be bringing the film to theaters on Aug. 14,” said Toby Emmerich, chairman of Warner Bros. Picture Group. “We hope the world will be in a safer and healthier place by then.”
