Why is Black Widow not available on Disney+Hotstar in India?
Marvel Cinematic Universe fans are unable to contain their excitement as the much-awaited film, Black Widow, is all set to release in theatres and on Disney+Hotstar in North America and several other countries today, July 9. It will be available on Disney+ under its Premiere Access section for $30 on the same date. But, Indian viewers may have to wait for some more time before they see Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow. WHY INDIAN VIEWERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STREAM BLACK WIDOW  After being delayed three times since May 2020, Black Widow will finally release, but, Indian viewers will not be able to catch the film at the same time as the rest of the world. The movie might take months to release in India. Given that theatres are shut in the country, the film's release was deterred in India. The film is expected to release in India on October 8, the same time it will be available for all Disney+ users. This can be attributed to the fact that there is no feature like Premiere Access in Indias version of Disney+. Outside India, all the Premiere Access films are made free in a matter of a few months. And, that is exactly when Disney+Hotstar will stream Black Widows for all Indian viewers. The concept of simultaneously releasing films in theatres and OTT was driven by a decision made by Disney+Hotstar's rival studio. Warner Bros. The rival studio had announced that all their films in 2021 would be both released in theatres and on HBO Max, on the same day.
