I am so glad I'm not the only one who thought of THIS October when I first saw this!

Am too pretty surprised this is coming as early as it is, but I’m all for it. Hope they release it to home dvd/Blu-ray with a lot of extra features

Some articles mention home distribution is included in the deal with Disney

I am just amazed that this will be a traditional wide release and not a Fathom Event premium ticket. This will truly be a new test for the filmed stage production business model. If this even comes close to grossing more than $30 million in sales, I see the model becoming significantly more common. Yes, Disney paid $50 Million for the rights, which I will find it difficult for them to recoup from a theatrical run. To do this Hamilton's theatrical run will have to gross a minimum of $100 Million domestic or $150 Million in international grosses just to break even, and that's before a likely additional $20 Million+ marketing campaign. I think the key thing in the agreement is that Disney will also be collecting the revenue from all ancillary markets. It is kind of crazy to think that Disney paid about same amount for the rights to distribute Hamiltion's filmed performance, as most film studio's spend on a modern movie musical.
