Pretty unprecedented as tickets have been on sale for a while (since they went on sale for Part 1). It’s not Warner Bros film, really, they’re distributing it but they don’t own the rights. Still though, I’m sure WB is disappointed as they expected a Sound of Freedom break out.
What I expect to happen is Part 2 goes straight to VOD.
They had a pay it forward gimmick, which led to questions and controversy. It undeniably struck a chord with a certain audience though, and made the rounds on right wing online spaces.

Haven't seen it and really not in the mood for such a thing in theater. It sounds like a TV series broken into four chapters of three hour each. Even ends with a teaser for the next one. I...
Haven't seen it and really not in the mood for such a thing in theater. It sounds like a TV series broken into four chapters of three hour each. Even ends with a teaser for the next one. I honestly don't get that approach to film making. I will happily wait for it on VOD.

The Fear Street movies, which were released back to back on Netflix back in 2020 also had this idea. They were originally going to be theatrical releases, released a month apart each, but instead were sold to Netflix and released a week apart. Those were all better received, so I think there was more potential in those being financial successes so the idea could have worked. I just don’t think three hour western epic was the genre to do it with.
Maybe Costner tried to relive the Dances With Wolves idea. I think there were three different ways to watch that one, I'd have to look it up, but there was definitely a movie cut and a multi part...

I think there were three different ways to watch that one, I'd have to look it up, but there was definitely a movie cut and a multi part series cut.

Haven't heard about a multi part cut. It was definitely released as one single movie, at around 3 hours, and later an extended version at 4 hours. Very long films is one thing, but four parts of assumingly 3 hours each - that is something else. LOTR could do it because it was an established trilogy. This doesn't have that benefit.
I looked it up. It aired over 3 nights on Sky back in the mid 90s. It must have been the 3hr movie, just cut up to air on TV in a normal hour time slot.

Wasn't the success of Sound of Freedom kind of sketchy? I remember hearing stories of sold out showtimes that were strangely empty.

Ahh, I remember recieving tickets for my family from my dad, and I didn't go because I thought it looked terrible.
