Burbank, CA – March 20, 2020 – Warner Bros. will make the current theatrical release “The Way Back” available via digital EST in the U.S. and Canada on March 24th, with international markets to follow, in order to meet increased demand for in-home entertainment options in light of the current global health crisis. The announcement was made today by Toby Emmerich, Chairman, Warner Bros. Pictures Group.
“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,” said Emmerich. “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.”
“The Way Back” will be available to own in high definition and standard definition from select digital retailers, including Prime Video (U.S. only), Apple TV, iTunes, Google Play, YouTube, DirecTV, FandangoNOW, PlayStation, Vudu, Microsoft Store on Xbox and Windows, and others for the suggested retail price of $19.99.
As previously announced, Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Birds of Prey” is also releasing on digital EST March 24th in the U.S. and Canada, with international markets to follow.
