Tournament Of Champions Available To Watch At Home?

"Escape Room: Tournament of Champions" will be released exclusively in theaters, as noted on the Sony Pictures Releasing website. This means that there isn't an option to watch "Tournament of Champions" at home at the same time it arrives in theaters. Many movie studios, including Warner Bros. and Disney, have implemented this release method in order to get their films to as many viewers as possible, but Sony isn't following suit with the "Escape Room" sequel. This was a conscious decision as well, as the studio and director think the visceral thrills will be more effective in a multiplex (via CinemaBlend). Sony even shifted the film's release date several times to accommodate a theatrical release.

According to director Adam Robitel, "Tournament of Champions" is the type of movie that needs to be seen alongside other people. "The Latin root of the word horror means 'to bristle on the back of the neck.' It's the one genre that has a physical and physiological influence over the audience," Robitel said in an interview with CinemaBlend. "It's manipulating them. People love to be afraid in groups. They love to go on dates, to scream and grab their popcorn."

With that in mind, it's safe to presume that "Escape Room: Tournament of Champions" won't be available to watch at home for at least 90 days, which tends to be the standard amount of time between movies going from theaters to households (via Variety).
