Not only that, but chances are, like New Mutants and all other unreleased Fox movies, it's contractually obligated for a theatrical release. Also, remember that HBO gets first dibs on streaming new Fox movies, so Disney Plus and Hulu are out of the question until HBO gets their run. Though it could maybe get enough of an audience considering it's only 1 of 2 new horror movies releasing in October and this one is actually R rated, unlike Come Play.
