I love trailer galleries, as well as TV spots.

I was going to buy this digital for $19.99 on release day, but it seems cheaper to buy the disc at $17.99 and redeem the digital code. Preordered.

On iTunes, the digital is 4K/Dolby Vision and Atmos. It's been my experience beforehand when I buy a Blu-ray that has a digital code, once redeemed, it would only be in HD and not 4K.

Furthermore, I suspect that $19.99 digital purchase price on release day will most likely be $9.99 in the near future, perhaps as early as April.

That's valuable information, Robert. Had no idea, though I believe you told me that would happen to Lionsgate releases in the past.

I came back to this thread because Amazon sent me an email stating that my order would not be shipped until April 4th.

Makes no sense at the date on the product page is still March 14th.

So, given the delay in shipping and the fact I can have it 4k/Atmos on digital, I am canceling my physical disc order.

Thanks again for alerting me about this.

You said it Ron!! I just finished watching it and I am an emotional wreck.

One of the most powerful films I have ever seen. Brendan Fraser gives a tremendous performance. I
Never pay more than $9.99 for a
Digital film but I’m making an exception for this one.

It’s my favorite film of the year. WOW!!
