This is just from a local source but it's easily searchable. Looks like Wonder Woman 1984 will be released in theaters AND on HBO Max (for free for the first month, ETA: still need a subscription for HBO Max just no added cost beyond that) at the same time in December. After the first month is up it will revert back to just being available in theaters for at least a few weeks before going the On Demand rental. It's def. a different way of doing it but I really like they are trying to get a big movie in the theaters.

This seems like a big win for those who mentioned they would go see a movie in a theater if given the opportunity.
Seems like a good structure to set up and will be interesting to see how it performs
Personally we won't be seeing that any time soon - not going near a theater the way things are going and don't have HBO max (and don't want/need another streaming service)
also starting to realize there are very few things I can think of that I would be willing to pay extra to see early
