Film's Digital Leap Paves the Way for a Coordinated Companion Series Premiere

This film is arriving in people’s homes at an unprecedented pace. After its theatrical debut a little over a month ago, the movie has been released as a digital download in the United States. Although the swift move to a digital release might slightly impact box office takings, Devoted supporters appear to be absolutely delighted with the option of watching it from home. For the director, however, the decision was clear and well-considered.

During a recent interview, the filmmaker detailed how the timing of the digital release was carefully planned to match the launch of the new season of another related series. He explained that he had initially expected the connected series to debut in the coming month, but various factors beyond control accelerated its release. His priority was to ensure that everyone interested in the film could enjoy the viewing experience even if they missed the theater screenings ahead of the companion series.

Some key points of the release strategy include:

• A tight schedule aligning the film’s digital availability with the companion series premiere.
• Allowing wider accessibility, especially for those unable to visit theaters before the series airs.
• Adapting to unexpected changes in the release timeline while keeping the audience’s convenience in mind.

The new season of the related series is set to begin on August 21. Meanwhile, the digital release schedule for audiences outside the United States remains uncertain, meaning that international viewers will need to wait for the chance to see this action-packed story on the big screen.
