Wonder how much more they take in the 17 day window. I think it’s way too short, but has Fast 9 and whatever else been available after just 3 weeks?

Universal said anything that makes over $50M opening weekend would wait a bit longer (30 days I think) to hit digital.

I can't wait to see Old online at midnight.

For the past 2-3 years it's been 60 days for 90% of movies. They were always on Vudu 2 months after theatrical.
