Wonder Woman 1984 to get fast-tracked home release in UK

Warner Bros announces plans to release Wonder Woman 1984 via home entertainment services in the UK next month.

Warner Bros has confirmed that Wonder Woman 1984 will have a home entertainment release in the UK on January 13.

The film came out in the UK on Wednesday but with much of the country now living under tier three restrictions, where cinemas must remain closed, only a limited proportion of the country have the opportunity to see it.

In the US, the movie is being released straight to HBO Max on Christmas Day - and it is thought that a similar proposed deal with Sky in the UK fell through, prompting Warner Bros to opt for a fast-tracked on-demand release.

In a statement, the studio said: "In recognition of varying current market restrictions and to service the massive fan interest in Wonder Woman 1984, this film can be enjoyed by fans and families on the big screen where available in cinemas now, and in the comfort of their own home through Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) in the UK and Ireland starting on January 13.

"The film will continue to be available in cinemas where they are open, whilst also being available to watch at home for a 48-hour rental from participating digital retailers."

The movie - a sequel to 2017's Wonder Woman - was made on a budget of $200 million (£148 million).
