If you want a snapshot of how much of an impact the wholesale closing of theatrical venues in United States has had on box office results, look no further than the 2017 release of director Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot as Diana (aka: Wonder Woman). The domestic box office haul was over $400 million.
By contrast, Jenkins latest teaming with Gadot, Wonder Woman 1984, has taken in just $40 million. Did Jenkins forget how to make a film? Has Gadot lost her sex appeal? Have audiences grown weary of super heroes? You know the answer to those questions … Covid-19.
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment announced this past week that a three-SKU helping of Wonder Woman 1984 will be heading home on Mar. 30. For the record, the ARR works out to 95 days, and, as mention, the box take was just $40.3 million.
Planned for release are Combo Pack editions for both the 4K Ultra HD (with Blu-ray) and Blu-ray (with DVD) formats, plus a stand-alone DVD selection.
Bonus features, which are limited to the Combo Pack SKUs, include a gag reel, five featurettes — “The Making of Wonder Woman 1984: Expanding the Wonder,” “Gal & Kristen: Friends Forever,” “Small But Mighty,” “Gal & Krissy Having Fun” and “Meet the Amazons” — and a pair of “Scene Study” segments — “Scene Study: The Open Road” and “Scene Study: The Mall.”
Elsewhere on the Blu-ray release calendar from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment during the month of March are director Richard Thorpe’s 1951 biopic, The Great Caruso, starring Mario Lanza … Oscar-winner for Best Sound (available Mar. 9), director Edward Dmytryk’s 1947 film noir, Crossfire, starring “Roberts” Ryan, Mitchell and Young, plus Gloria Grahame as the requisite “femme fatale” (Mar. 16), Boris Karloff stars in the 1945 plague-thriller, Isle of the Dead (Mar. 30) and closing out the quartet of new-to-Blu-ray releases is The Bermuda Depths (also Mar. 30).
