Early Home Premieres FAQ
1. How can I tell which titles are Early Home Premieres?
You can find these titles in the Optik On Demand storefront, marked with a pink “Early Home Premiere” banner.
2. Why do these rentals cost more?
They’ve been made available to rent months earlier than usual. While you’d normally have to go to a theatre to catch these films, you can now watch them from the comfort of home, for less.
Note: Special early releases can be found On Demand in New Releases.
