It&#8217;s a question many X-Men fans have asked after various delays of director Josh Boone&#8217;s highly-anticipated X-Men horror thriller film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">20th Century Studios (now owned by Disney) has an existing contract through 2022 with HBO for streaming rights to <em>New Mutants<\/em>, including <em><a href=\"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/films\/darkphoenix\/\">Dark Phoenix<\/a><\/em> and a host of other films. It would be impossible for the studio to release the film on their own paid subscription platforms as that would directly compete with HBO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A potential option would be for Disney to put the film up for sale on video on demand services with a price point of $19.99 or higher, but given the size of the film and it&#8217;s potential worldwide earnings, waiting for theatrical box office profits makes the most sense, business-wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the tragic worldwide Covid-19 pandemic continues, cinemas are now looking to reopen this Summer. Disney has yet to set a new date for the film, but given their promotional budget is almost used up, expect a release sooner rather than later; we definitely don&#8217;t expect it to be pushed back into 2021&#8230;assuming the Corona virus doesn&#8217;t come roaring back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s good to just have patience. Boone and the cast worked very hard for what they imagined to be theatrical film. Let&#8217;s wait to experience the movie as it was meant to be seen&#8230;on the big screen! Given the situation and the fact that many might not feel comfortable going to the movie theaters, it probably won&#8217;t take long for the film to reach streaming\/Blu-ray\/DVD home video after its theatrical release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHY CAN&#8217;T WE GET THE NEW MUTANTS ON DISNEY+ OR HULU?!?
