Can I watch a new movie without going to a movie theatre?

[Litargirio]

So I was trying to ask google if there is any website that would stream this new movie, Suicide Squad (not for free), since I can't go watch it in a movie theatre for many reasons, but all keep finding is content-devoid websites that promise to let you watch the movie for free, but ultimately can't find anything on topic.

 

Anyone know if there's any way to watch aformentioned movie without having to visit a physical cinema location?

 

Thanks for the help.

Technically no , there isn't a way for private viewing at home at the time of release, you have to wait till official online release on platforms such as itunes which usually happens about a month before the official bluray release, unless you're tight with some industry people they might connect you with some close officials & will allow you a private screening for a ginormous fees, usually celebrities are the ones who get this favor done & they obviously get invited to a private home theater somewhere or get hosted over at their own private home theater, as in a proper private home theater, not a shitty 22" pc monitor viewing,

I guess I'll have to settle for curling up in a corner and crying. Oh well.

There is a beta service where you get a set-top box for your TV, and you rent movies near or at cinema release (Around $50 per movie) - but I don't believe it's been released to the public yet. Some startup company doing it and trying to get studios on board.

DVD Player, Blu-Ray Player, Cable Box, Satellite Receiver, AppleTV, Roku 4, WD Live TV, VHS Player, etc.

 

A set-top box is a media device that sits on your media shelf and connects to your TV.
