The news comes as cinemas begin to close around the world and the entertainment industry continues to wrestle with the ramifications of the global covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.
The decision from Warner Bros. to bump up Birds of Prey’s home release follows word from Universal Studios that several of its films that are currently in the middle of their theatrical runs would become available digitally as early as Friday, March 20.
Earlier today Birds of Prey director Cathy Yan claimed via Twitter she would not be opposed to the idea of making Birds of Prey available on VOD faster than intended.
While the spread of covid-19 has resulted in a huge number of release delays and stalled productions, more importantly there are number of things you can do to stay safe during this pandemic.
