Spider-Man: No Way Home Leaks Online, Sony Advances Digital Version Release Date
Spider-Man: No Way Home is already illegally available for download, a pirated copy from the Blu-ray appeared 24 hours ago. This prompted Sony to bring forward the release date for the digital version.
Already leaked the Blu-ray of Spider-Man: No Way Home
A team, which goes by the name EVO, managed to obtain the Blu-ray and took the opportunity to offer the film on a torrent site. Then there was a snowball effect and the copy appeared on all other torrent, direct download and streaming sites.
This is a more than important leak since the film will not be released before April 12 in the United States and April 27 in France. In this case, the leak is from the US Blu-ray. Moreover, American sellers on eBay are already offering to buy the Blu-ray and receive it now. Unsurprisingly, the sellers don’t say how they got the discs a month before the release date.
A theory circulates: Sony would have changed its plans. You should know that films are generally released on Blu-ray three months after their theatrical release in the United States. In the case of Spider-Man: No Way Home, this corresponds to March. However, the Blu-ray will finally be released on April 12. The theory given is that Sony had originally planned to release the Blu-ray in March, but would have revised their plans to add outtakes and other elements, which would explain the release in April. Thus, the records circulating at the moment would be those of the first batch. But nothing is confirmed at this stage.
Digital release a week early
Upon arrival, Sony announces that Spider-Man: No Way Home will finally be available on March 15 in the United States on digital platforms like iTunes, Amazon and others, instead of March 22. Sony thus hopes that many people will buy the digital copy rather than downloading the film with its pirated version.
In France, the digital copy is scheduled for April 14 and DVD / Blu-ray / Blu-ray 4K will arrive on April 27. It is impossible to advance the release date because of the chronology of the media.
