December has always been one of Hollywood's blockbuster months. Hit films like The Lord of the Rings trilogy, "Avatar" and Disney's Star Wars films have all brought in big box office numbers during the holiday season.
This year will continue the trend with two of the year's most anticipated films going toe to toe over the Christmas weekend as "Wonder Woman 1984" and "Soul" vie for viewers' time. It's a classic blockbuster battle that we've seen many times over the holidays. But this year there's one big difference: This showdown won't be at the box office, it will also be streaming into living rooms.
