A new rumor claims Apple\u2019s F1 movie will be available to own digitally on Friday. However, there are two reasons to be skeptical.<\/p>\n

The source of the rumor is the aptly named website When To Stream<\/a>. It claims that F1 will come to PVOD, or premium video on demand, starting this Friday. Forbes notes<\/a> that the website is \u201ctypically accurate for its PVOD reports,\u201d but neither Apple nor Warner Bros. has announced a date.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s F1 movie is already out of the average 45 day window between the theatrical release date and PVOD release date, so the August 22 date isn\u2019t unexpected.<\/p>\n

However, the F1 movie has been the sleeper hit of the summer. Apple re-released it in IMAX on August 8 and other large format screens on August 15. <\/p>\n

Still, it\u2019s not unheard of for movies to be released on PVOD while still showing in some theaters. <\/p>\n

In Apple\u2019s case, though, there\u2019s a hefty $600 million<\/a> global theatrical revenue target they\u2019re chasing. Releasing the movie for purchase at home gives moviegoers one less reason to throw money toward theatrical release revenue.<\/p>\n

Separately, a Blu-ray forum<\/a> points to a physical media release on October 7. Both the August 22 and October 7 dates are unofficial and unconfirmed. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the bigger question on everyone\u2019s mind is when the F1 movie will arrive for streaming on Apple TV+ subscribers. Our best guess still points to sometime in October.<\/a><\/p>\n
