More and more films are being made available online as early as possible, especially since public gatherings (like going to movie theatres) are being banned because of COVID-19. One of the latest films to be hitting video-on-demand platforms early is Warner Bros.' The Way Back. The Ben Affleck-led film will be available digitally on March 24. The critically-acclaimed sports drama hit theatres in the US on March 6.
"With audiences largely unable to view films in theatrical release under current circumstances, we have decided to provide the alternative of early digital ownership of our currently released titles to people looking for great entertainment options," Toby Emmerich, chairman of Warner's film group, said in a statement. "So, while we remain big fans of the theatrical experience and hope audiences are able to return to cinemas in the near future, we understand that these are challenging times and offering this option simply makes sense."
