Thanks, Todd!

My Blu-ray copy just arrived from Amazon.

Due to the pandemic, In the Heights was the first movie I saw in theaters in 261 days. The audience I saw it with on its opening night was sold out (up to capacity limits at that time) and everybody seemed to love it. So I have to admit that I was surprised to see audiences in general reject the film. Hopefully more people find it in the future.

Looks like the code from this movie is NOT porting over to Prime Video at the moment.

Apparently, it takes about an hour or more for some codes to populate from Movies Anywhere to Prime Video.

A Best Picture Oscar nominee for sure.
