Would you see Robin Williams' A Merry Friggin' Christmas in theaters or on VOD??

i would see it in theaters and refusing to renting it on demand on November 7 after Robin Williams' death. Why would Phase 4 release a unreleased Christmas movie who stars a great, late actor who died in a suicidal hanging in a same-day VOD/PPV theater release??? A Merry Friggin' Christmas should be a nationwide theater release, not in a same-day theatrical/VOD/PPV release slot for underrated great movies like Veronica Mars or Snowpiercer. all movies with great, late actors died always should go for nationwide theater release to tribute the actor's death from tragedy.

    Blame Piracy, I work in the Industry and Piracy contributes to more Independent films being released out of theaters. Its very complex and other factors come into the cause/effect of Piracy and film theft online.

    Regardless, this deal was probably made months before his death and very likely couldnt/wouldnt be changed now anyhow.

    RIP Robin Williams.

  • The deal to release outside of theaters was probably done and done well before he passed.
