Good! The very first release is already the ULTIMATE. We should expect no further incursions into pockets.

 

[Jake Lipson]

Disney calls all of their UHD releases "ultimate." I wouldn't read much into that. However, this doesn't seem like a title that they would double dip on anyway. Given all the delays and the Armie Hammer issue, they're probably just happy to be finished with it.

This is is also going to stream on Hulu and HBO Max at the same time as the digital purchase date. So I'll just watch it with a subscription I already have. I had actually heard somewhere that it was going to stream a little earlier, but now I can't find that source.

I went to see it this past weekend--my first film at the cinema in two years!--and didn't love it. Not a patch on the 1978 or 2004 adaptations.

Any ideas about where to pre-order?

Any ideas about where to pre-order?

Not Amazon. They aren't reliable when it comes to Disney pre-orders and haven't been since 2016.

Best Buy has it listed now.

Any ideas about where to pre-order?

I added the inactive Amazon links to the Pre-order Listing. I suspect those links will be active in the next couple of days.
