“So, tomorrow is the 10-year anniversary of ‘Hamilton,’ and we’ve been celebrating all year. But we have one more way to celebrate. We filmed most of the original cast performing in ‘Hamilton’ in 2016, and we always wanted to release it theatrically, but then the pandemic hit, and so we decided to release it on streaming so that everyone could see it at home whenever they wanted. But, Sept. 5, you will be able to see ‘Hamilton’ in movie theaters nationwide and in Puerto Rico.”
A Disney+ Hit
For those who don’t know, Disney won a bidding war for the rights to a filmed version of Hamilton in 2020.

Months later, a proshot performance of the hit musical premiered on Disney+.
The film would later be named one of the best films of 2020 by the American Film Institute and nab a pair of Golden Globe nominations and 12 Primetime Emmy nods.
