So why is Spiral: From the Book of Saw heading to digital so soon after it premiered in theaters?
No official reason was provided, but it undoubtedly has to due with the pandemic.
Yes, movie theaters have started reopening over the last couple months, albeit with new health and safety measures in place, such as the theaters operating at reduced capacity to allow for social distancing.
But even with the vaccine rollout, we’re still a ways off from everyday life returning to what it was like in the Before Times, and there are plenty of folks who aren’t comfortable just yet stepping back into movie theaters just yet, even with a lot of other high profile films heading to a big screen near you soon, like A Quiet Place: Part II and F9.
