Disney earns rights to show in theatres, stream Broadway hit 'Hamilton'

In what's possibly the biggest finished film acquisition, Disney reportedly outbid its competition to earn the rights to release the critically-acclaimed Broadway hit Hamilton in cinemas and on its streaming service. Disney supposedly paid US$75 million for worldwide rights to the official recording of the original two-hour, 40-minute show with the original cast. The show was recorded two weeks before the original cast left. 

Hamilton will continue its traditional theatrical run before it hits Disney+. As for the cinematic release, the schedule is set for the fall of 2021. According to Tommy Kail, director of the stage play and the film, the movie version will be composed of clips from three live performances and some setup shots without the audience to achieve multiple angles that will guarantee the filmgoers a great experience.
