MONSTER HUNTER Live-Action Movie Moves Up To Christmas Day To Challenge WONDER WOMAN 1984

Going to the movies on Christmas Day is something of an American tradition for many families in the U.S., but COVID-19's chokehold on the nation's movie theaters is putting that in jeopardy.

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. 

If you're venturing out to theaters this Holiday, are you watching Wonder Woman 1984 or Monster Hunter? Let us know in the comment section below.
 

Behind our world, there is another: a world of dangerous and powerful monsters that rule their domain with deadly ferocity. When an unexpected sandstorm transports Captain Artemis (Milla Jovovich) and her unit (TI Harris, Meagan Good, Diego Boneta) to a new world, the soldiers are shocked to discover that this hostile and unknown environment is home to enormous and terrifying monsters immune to their firepower.

@tmp3 - Isn't WW2 still getting a theatrical release, even if it isn't whats dumber, putting a big movie on streaming or putting them in theaters during a pandemic
tmp3
tmp3 - 11/19/2020, 1:38 PM
@dracula - What's dumber is not waiting until 2021 like most studios

@dracula - they are putting it in theaters so the cinema companies won't be pissed, the same companies still haven't foriven Universal for letting Trolls 2 skip theaters.

@m1doriya - well never say never. The last Resident Evil movie was crap and still made 160 milion compared to Wonder Woman 90 milion in china. And with this HBO Max you can be sure HD pirated copies for WW84 will find their way in china and the rest of the world. If anyone has the last laugh it will probably be Sony. What WB should do is release it 2 weeks before the US/HBO Max thing, then they might have a shot to make some money.

@Superheromoviefan - Can't wait for WW, but betting most will watch it on hbomax, but will sure fail less than monster hunter at the theatrical box office

Superheromoviefan - 11/19/2020, 1:38 PM
@dracula - monster hunter should be a fail, but ww deserves the success

@Superheromoviefan - What if WW sucks, lol
dracula
dracula - 11/19/2020, 1:46 PM
@Superheromoviefan - yeah, hopefully whatever happens, WW3 is still a possibility when this is all over
LameLuka
LameLuka - 11/19/2020, 1:54 PM
@dracula - Monster Hunter cost less to make and market than WW84 and will most likey get a sequel even if it only makes money in china and japan and flops everywhere else

@Superheromoviefan - you haven't seen in, who knows maybe it will end being better than WW84 let's wait and see.
Superheromoviefan
Superheromoviefan - 11/19/2020, 2:54 PM
@JustALurker -
monster hunter is made by paul w s anderson while ww84 is made by patty jenkins. with that information we can certain say that monster hunter will be at the best case if super duper lucky ok while ww84 at super duper unlucky worst case ok.

@Superheromoviefan - the only reason Monster Hunter exists is to make money in china and Japan, WW84 I hope its good but in a year like 2020 I will even take an okay movie.

JustALurker - 11/19/2020, 11:05 PM
@LameLuka - ah yes Warner Bros are making WW84 for a noble cause and not for money. Makes sense.

dracula - 11/19/2020, 1:35 PM
Wonder Woman VS a sifi channel looking video game adaptation.....

Both will fail in theaters thats for sure but Monster Hunter will fail more.

Can't wait to see WW84 on HBOMax

JustALurker - 11/19/2020, 2:46 PM
@dracula - no one will see them in theaters except for hardcore fans who want to support Patty.

What exactly is that thing in the thumbnail supposed to be?

It looks like the offspring of Genghis Khan and a cat.

@Feralwookiee - in the games there are some talking intelligent cats that help you out.
