The new Scooby-Doo animated film Scoob! is the latest movie to head straight to video on demand on May 15. Warner Bros. will make this animated film available for 48-hour rental at $20 or for purchase at $25 in the US and Canada. The film won't be immediately available to stream as part of Warner Bros.' HBO Max service.
Warner Bros. CEO Ann Sarnoff said that the COVID-19 pandemic had required the company to call for "creative thinking and adaptability in how [Warner Bros.] distributes content." And they aren't the only ones to do so. Earlier in the month, Universal Pictures brought Trolls World Tour straight to VOD services. Disney will be debuting its Artemis Fowl adaptation on Disney+.
