Is Emancipation coming to DVD and Blu-ray?
Emancipation starring Will Smith is now available to stream. Will this movie come to DVD and Blu-ray? Here’s a look at the chances.
Will Smith is back on our screens with a harrowing tale. More and more movies are bringing us the realities of the past, and if you find the truth of the past uncomfortable, good. The stories are needed.
Smith plays Peter, a slave in the south who is beaten almost to death. He decides to escape the plantation, knowing that if he’s caught he’s a dead man. He isn’t just running from those hunting down escaped slaves, though. He has to survive the harsh Louisiana marshes.
All this to get to the north, where he has a chance of being a free man. Can he make it? What exactly does he face on the way? You’ll need to watch the movie to find out.
Will Emancipation come to DVD and Blu-ray?
We usually look at when the movies will head to DVD and Blu-ray, but this one isn’t getting a normal release. It’s not heading to theaters around the world. Instead, it’s an Apple TV+ Original Movie. This could mean that it doesn’t get a DVD and Blu-ray release.
Apple TV+ is a streaming platform. It will want to keep content as exclusive as possible, so it may not release the movie on DVD and Blu-ray. This encourages people to pay once and watch th movie whenever they want. However, with the topic of the movie, it could end up getting a DVD release date to get in front of as many eyes as possible.
It probably won’t get a Digital release. This would take too many people from Apple TV+, which doesn’t make sense for a streamer.
