Is there any benefit to preordering a movie on AppleTV? (alien.top)

I really enjoy the hunger games franchise and after I saw the ballad of songbirds and snakes, I got excited that in a few weeks/months I’ll be able to add it to my library and have all the movies. But I saw it was open to preorders the night of release? Is there bonuses or extras for preordering, a price reduction? And does anyone know when it is going to be available to watch.

I’d say for 99.9999999% of the time there’s absolutely zero benefit to preordering.

It’s not like the old days where you had to preorder to secure your VHS or DVD in the store just incase they run out on release day.

You get notified the moment it becomes available. So handy if you forget.

No there really aren’t any benefits other than getting the movie as soon as it’s available. Unless I just really loved a movie and can’t wait to watch it again, I’ll wait for the first price drop. You will usually see one 3-6 months after release

I can’t wait to own it so maybe I should pre order it!

Just buy it on the day of release, it’s not like they’re gonna sell out beforehand Lol

I only add it to Up Next as a reminder that I want to rent it when the price drops.
