Despite having unlimited access though, the film would be available for regular users to watch for free 3 months after the movie's original release date, meaning that they never owned it in the first place.
Explanation
The statement suggests that while a film may be accessible through a service (like Regal Unlimited), after a certain period, it becomes available for free, implying that users do not 'own' the film. This is partially true. Streaming services often operate on a model where after a limited time, films that ran on a paid subscription basis can be released as free content or made available on various platforms. For instance, both Regal Unlimited and Disney+ follow similar release patterns where members can access current films in theaters but do not own them outright as they would a physical copy. Additionally, the mention of a 3-month window aligns with practices seen in the industry, where films can be moved to free streaming platforms after their initial subscription period. Hence, while the claim about the 3-month wait is relevant in specific contexts, it does not universally apply to all films across streaming services, indicating some nuances in the statement.
Key Points
- Films are often available for free after a certain period post-release.
- Streaming services like Regal Unlimited do not provide ownership rights to films.
- The timeline of release for free viewing can fluctuate based on the service and the film.
