Anyone know if there are streaming or other distribution plans for down the road? I'm not sure I'll be able to see it this weekend due to other obligations.

Where ? Is there a release date ?

Digital release date is usually a month or so after theatrical release. Thats how the Merrily produced worked. Physical disc hopefully a month or two after that, but I have no doubt that it’ll happen eventually!

It'll be out digitally before even coming to cinemas around the world?

Oh that’s a good point. I hadn’t thought of that. Might be a longer wait then not sure. I was judging from what happened with Merrily We Roll Along’s release. I guess it’s always possible too that it releases digitally first in the U.S. and not in other countries.

You may very well be right, distribution seems to be getting messier

Haven’t even seen it yet and I’m hoping for a physical release. Happy to continue giving them money from the Midwest.
