According to Rolling Stone,
a source at MGM revealed that “the decision was based on theatre
closures in China, South Korea, Japan, Italy, and France, plummeting
box-office numbers in international markets, and a desire to ensure the
film has a successful worldwide release”.
The source
said, “The film wouldn’t have its greatest chance of success because
there are too many unknowables at this point. This is a global film;
this is the first time the movie’s been in a marketplace in five years.
We really believe in the theatrical experience. We want this to be a
theatrical experience in the same spirit of the other films.”
