Why is Scoob! skipping its cinema release?
Scoob! is just one of the many films opting for a VOD release instead of the cinema as the continued lockdown means we're all stuck at home and unable to visit the cinema right now.
The film kept its release date, but due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it will be made available online via video on demand services in a similar way to other early-release films, including family flick Trolls: World Tour.
"We know fans are eager to see Scoob! and we’re delighted we can deliver this feel-good movie for families to enjoy while they’re home together. While we’re all eager to be able to once again show our films in theaters, we’re navigating new, unprecedented times which call for creative thinking and adaptability in how we distribute our content," Warner Bros chair and CEO Ann Sarnoff said.
Scoob! cameos
You'll also spot a few other faces, like Simon Cowell, who shared a pic on Instagram showing off his cameo. Ken Jeong is also making an appearance.
