Walt Disney Co. is moving its highly anticipated documentary about the Beatles from theaters to its streaming service, in the latest sign Hollywood is still unsure if consumers are willing to come back to cinemas in large numbers.

The Beatles: Get Back, a behind-the-scenes peek at the band in its prime, had been scheduled to hit theatres in August. It now will appear as a three-part series over three days beginning on Nov 25 on the company’s US$8-a-month Disney+ streaming service at no additional charge, the company said Thursday (June 17). It was originally scheduled to come out in theatres last year.
