FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Warner Bros. Pictures Canada announced today that Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ highly anticipated “Godzilla vs. Kong” will receive a hybrid day-and-date release in Canada, due to the continued varying market restrictions resulting from the pandemic. While the studio remains committed to providing moviegoers with a theatrical experience wherever possible, with fewer markets reopening than previously planned, the decision was made to allow Canadian audiences to enjoy the epic action adventure film on the big screen and in the comfort of their own home through Premium Video on Demand (PVOD).
“Godzilla vs. Kong ” will be released in available theatres and for rental via PVOD beginning on Wednesday, March 31. The film will be available on participating digital platforms where you rent movies for $24.99 (price listed Canada SRP).
ABOUT “GODZILLA VS.KONG”
From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures comes the long-awaited showdown between two icons in the epic adventure “Godzilla vs. Kong,” directed by Adam Wingard.
Legends collide in “Godzilla vs. Kong” as these mythic adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphaned girl with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond. But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction across the globe. The initial confrontation between the two Titans—instigated by unseen forces—is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the core of the Earth.
