Movies that went from theaters exclusively to digital (no blu-ray or DVD)

[Lum]

I'm not very versed on digital movies. Bullet points are the easiest way to present my question.

What movies fit all of these criteria?

• Theatrically screened in the US
• Available digitally in the US
• No confirmed plans for a US physical release

Edit: it seems Pokemon Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution was shown at Anime Expo, not conventional theaters.

Lucy in the Sky has not received a physical release in the states

HoneyBoy is Amazon Prime exclusive.

I bet Artemis Fowl does not get a disc release

Honey Boy did recieve a bluray exclusive to HMV a month or so ago. I had a friend from the UK buy it and ship it for me.

I'm not sure films like Artemis Fowl and Lucy in the Sky count for this threat. The former was going to play in theaters but moved to Disney+. The latter played I think only for some festivals but never a proper theater release that I know of (due to the bad reviews), instead going to HBO.

If you include them, there's a whole bunch of other similar films on Netflix and Amazon that never got a disc release.

I think Life Itself (some awful looking movie from couple years ago that seemed to have a good cast but was destroyed by critics and a bomb) was one semi-recent film that had a wide theatrical release and never got a disc release.

I would imagine My Spy will not get a Blu-ray release since its a Amazon exclusive now.

The Disneynature documentary Penguins got a wide release in theaters last year, but Disney hasn't shown any indication they plan to give it a physical release.

Lucy in the Sky got a theatrical release, just not a very big one. I saw it in a theater with AMC A-list.

Life Itself got a bluray in Canada from VVS Films.

Pretty much all of Amazon's theatrical movies recently.

I saw Beautiful Boy in theatres quite a few times. Glad it got a release in Canada though so I got that.

Saw Honey Boy and Late Night in theatres and no home video releases here.

the DisneyNature documentary "Penguins" surprisingly did not get a physical release, despite all of the other DisneyNature documentaries getting one (pre-Dolphin Reef/Elephant)

"All Is True' from Kenneth Branagh was released on dvd only in the UK, with Prime having a 1080p version of it for rental. Same for Deathrace: Beyond Anarchy; we got a damn dvd copy and Amazon nabbed the film for renting on Prime. I imported my blu ray copies of both films from the US...
