It was originally slated for an April 2020 release into Australian cinemas; however, the release was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, which forced the shutdown of the many cinemas for some time.[1] Instead of delaying the theatrical release, the film opted instead to release directly onto digital platforms on 6 May 2020.[2]
The home-video release was planned for 3 June 2020.[citation needed]
