Whatever box office dollars can be squeezed out on Christmas Day in the United States were likely going to line the pockets of Warner Bros., as the studio surprised many by remaining committed to releasing Wonder Woman 1984 on Christmas Day (while also simultaneously releasing the film on HBO Max).
However, WB just got a bit of competition as Screen Gems has moved Paul W.S. Anderson's (Resident Evil film franchise) Monster Hunter up 5 days from December 30 to the 25th. This comes after the film was previously moved up from April 23, 2021.
Earlier today, an international trailer from China was released which showcases much more promising footage than the previously released trailer. This one focuses less heavily on the modern military element in the film and presents a movie more familiar to those who recently played Monster Hunter: World from Capcom.
