Wonder Woman 1984 isn’t the only thing coming to HBO Max this December. However, when you’re talking about one of the biggest films of the year finally approaching its real, honest-to-goodness premiere date in a matter of weeks, it’s easily the biggest deal of the month. Like most of this odd year’s box office slate, the long-awaited sequel’s release schedule has experienced a number of shifts. While this has caused most studios to hold onto their big releases, Warner Bros. is taking the opportunity to lasso some traffic to its still-nascent streamer for the holiday season. If you feel like you must see Diana on the big screen, the movie is still coming to theaters the day that it hits the platform—that is, Christmas Day. Do we recommend heading to a theater while we’re still in the throes of a pandemic? Not really, but it’s your choice.
As for the rest of HBO Max’s holiday goodies, December marks the arrival of Steven Soderbergh’s new comedy film Let Them All Talk, starring Meryl Streep, Candice Bergen, Dianne Wiest, Gemma Chan, and Lucas Hedges. The Euphoria special, which centers on Emmy-winning lead Zendaya and Colman Domingo’s Ali, debuts while the show awaits the greenlight to safely head back into production. And if you’re stilling padding your holiday viewing list, Carrie Underwood is releasing a Christmas special called My Gift, where she will perform “a combination of beloved traditional favorites and new original material from her first highly anticipated Christmas album.” And as we all know, the best gift of all is a bunch of songs that someone sings in your general direction.
This month is also your last chance to see a few Batman films, the Austin Powers trilogy, and La La Land. But that’s fine, because Harry And The Hendersons arrives just in time to fill the void! Check out the list of things entering and leaving the platform next month.
