The first stop for The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie in the home entertainment market will be on digital streaming via premium video on demand. Determining how soon the film will debut on PVOD is a bit tricky though, since Warner Bros. Animation produced the movie and indie distributor Ketchup Entertainment is distributing the film in theaters.
Given past Ketchup Entertainment releases, the company will likely distribute The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie on PVOD.
Ketchup Entertainment’s most recent release in theaters was the Michael Keaton and Mila Kunis family dramedy Goodrich, which opened in theaters on Oct. 18, 2024, and pivoted to PVOD about three and a half weeks later on Nov. 12.
If The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie follows the same release pattern, then viewers can expect to either purchase or rent the film on PVOD about Tuesday, April 8, since new films on PVOD tend to arrive on Tuesdays.
New films on PVOD tend to be available on a variety of digital platforms like Prime Video, AppleTV and Fandango at Home and generally cost anywhere from $19.99 to $29.99 to purchase or $14.99 to $24.99 to rent for a 48-hour period.
What Streaming Service Will Get ‘The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie’ First?
If The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie follows the same release pattern as Michael Keaton and Mila Kunis’ Goodrich, then it is likely that the animated movie will make its streaming video on demand debut on Max.
Since Max is Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming platform, it only makes sense that the WB Animation-produced film streams on the platform first.
Because Goodrich made its SVOD premiere on Max on Jan. 31, about three and a half months after it opened in theaters on Oct. 18, viewers can expect the same amount of time between the theatrical release of The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie and its debut on Max.
As such, The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie should arrive on Max anytime between June 27 and July 4, since new films on Max tend to debut on Fridays.
Subscribers can get Max for $9.99 per month with ads or $16.99 per month without ads. Also, viewers can subscribe to Max for $20.99 monthly without ads and the package includes programming in 4K Ultra HD.
