So far , Wonder Con is a cake walk for both Badges and Hotel rooms

The trick is not to wait too long after the announcement.

Usually after the registration you are thrown into the Hotel purchase screen

This is WB Home Entertainment. So that means it will be the TV shows. I didn't the the WB Pictures panel was disappointing at all. I loved the panel with Patty Jenkins and all the exclusive first-look Wonder Woman footage. Again, I'm not just in it to see the famous people. I appreciate the content and the people who write, direct, produce and the opportunity to see footage.

According the the Quick Guide, the Expanse panel is 1:30pm-2:30pm on Friday in North 200A... But it hasn't been updated on Sched at the moment. I noticed that the Smithsonian Star Trek Learning Experience that was scheduled 2:30pm-3:30pm in the same room has been cancelled on Sched... So I wonder if the Expanse panel might get moved into that time slot, or if there will be a different replacement panel, or if there will be nothing in the room for that hour?

If I go out of my way to be there and it's Sherlock Gnomes, I am going to break some s**t. I am really hoping it's A Quiet Place.

I came to see if anyone heard about this and what film it could be?

I looked at their upcoming releases and yeah, only see Sherlock Gnomes. Nope. I didn't know they were making another GI Joe btw.

It's one or the other. Vast difference between the two.You have a 50/50 shot, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's leaked. Just wait to see if it's an everyone movie or an adult movie.
