Nowadays the movies you’re loving in the theater today are usually released in digital 3 months after their theatrical release date (or sooner!)
And if you pre-ordered Deadpool in digital HD, you already know the digital versions are often released a week or longer before the same films come out on disc. Friends are rushing out to buy their copy of Deadpool on Blu-ray today, but you were able to screen your digital copy nearly two weeks ago!
You probably decided to buy at least one of these films immediately after seeing it in the theater, so why not get your pre-order in now and be assured of getting your digital copy the day it’s released? Note that your payment method will not be charged until the day the pre-order is released and added to your digital library.
