Why the Second Chance Happened
The studio initially canceled the movie’s theatrical plans. That decision drew a strong response, and the film received a second chance as a result.

The Digital Price
Pre-orders are available now on Prime Video and Apple TV. The price applies to both platforms, so viewers have two options to choose from.
The release date is set for September 29, 2026, at 12 midnight EDT.
