I was wondering if they were going to delay the release date because of it. That's too bad, but thank you for sharing the news.

If the movie theaters aren't open by May, the problem goes way deeper than Scoob. Studios need to start seriously reconsidering whether theatrical distribution will still be sustainable in the future.

Sad news, but hopefully this will be over soon so it can be released.

I knew this would happen after the new Bond movie postponement. That was inevitable, the crisis will not end in one month. Cinemas in the most important markets for Scoob! will be closed until summer at earliest. My bets are October or November around Halloween or December, just before Christmas. Earlier dates are uncertain. Stay healthy!

I love how they made a reference to Mean Girls in the last clip on the Instagram account

Guess WB didn't have any faith in it, otherwise they'd have saved it for theaters. Good riddance.

I was really anticipating Scooby's return to the big screen, so these news are bittersweet. Also, there's no information about its release outside US and Canada.

sending it to on demand is probably a signal it likely wouldnt have done well at the box office.

so if they make it work like one more dtv movie. It means that this year we will only have a normal dtv and the second one will be used for next year so they can save themselves from doing a second one,apart from the courage movie that was being made. a whole round business.

Don't mean to offend anyone, but I don't know where all the "this would have bombed at this box office" comments are coming from. It's clearly a financial decision based on the COVID-19 pandemic closing all theaters, and not indicative of the movie's quality. It was probably based on the fact that they had already promoted the film so much, and the lack of certainty of how long it will be before theaters reopen.

Not sure if that's necessarily true, but it's a possibility. Don't forget that we got three DTVs in 2018 with Daphne & Velma going direct to video as well.

It’s not the same process as a DTV. It kinda works as going to the movies. Instead of buying to ticket, you rent it. Although in this case you can also buy it but you don’t have the physical version yet. And yes, I agree that they might not have had as much faith in the movie as they would with other bigger releases like Batman for instance, which they would try to push it for as much as they can. but this is just a way for them to amortize the financial crisis, which still means the more revenues the better. So I’m this case they’re actually relying on Scoob!’s performance on digital so they do have some faith it would bring them quite some money. Look at Trolls 2, for instance, the first was very successful so they must have had some faith to distribute it on demand instead. I’m pretty there are also other reasons like the fact that this is a cartoon meaning it’s most likely the safest bet for studios especially since families desperately need that distraction for their kids. There’s a lot of thought that goes into this
