What time does Hamilton come out on Disney+ Hotstar?
Viewers can start streaming Hamilton on Disney+ Hotstar on July 3, which is a day prior to the 4th of July celebrations. The Disney+ Hotstar Hamilton release time is 12:00 am PT, which is 3:00 am ET. For viewers in India, Hamilton on Disney+ Hotstar will be streaming from 12:30 pm IST. The film Hamilton was scheduled to hit the theatres in October 2021, but following the COVID-19 pandemic, the makers and producers took the decision of releasing Hamilton on Disney+ Hotstar.
It was reported by a popular entertainment portal that Disney shot the entire Hamilton film within three days. Moreover, some changes had to be made in the editing process. The reports suggested that a few curse words had to be edited to so that Hamilton on Disney+ Hotstar could maintain its PG-13 viewer rating.
How long will Hamilton be on Disney Plus Hotstar?
For how long will Hamilton be on Disney+ has not been specified by the company yet. When the Hamilton film trailer was released, there was conjecture that the film will only be available for one day, which is July 3, 2020. At the end of the Hamilton trailer, it was written 'Streaming exclusively July 3’, hence these speculations began making rounds.
However, the streaming platform soon clarified that exclusively means that it will be streaming exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar starting on July 3. The film’s creator Lin Manuel Miranda even confirmed the news with a tweet. But, it is important to note that in the past, Disney+ Hotstar has taken down many movies that it had previously made available.
The reason could have been unfavourable licensing deals. However, some productions and media experts are guessing that Hamilton on Disney+ Hotstar will remain on the platform for a long time. In an interview given to a well-known business portal, a Disney spokesperson revealed that the company had spent up to $75 million for exclusive, worldwide rights for the recording of Hamilton the film. Hence, it seems highly unlikely that the platform would pull the show from its line up after making such a bulky investment in it.
