Ok. @vanetti, there’s this. But no mention of ‘in theatres’. I know I just need to find my chill about this, as it will become clear eventually, but yeah. Will it be in theatres the SAME day as it airs on tv???
my biggest hope is that we get a midnight release in theaters and then we get to watch it AGAIN LATER ON TV
