The ninth film in the popular Fast & Furious franchise, F9 has shattered pandemic box office records since it hit theaters on June 25. Now, fans who are unwilling or unable to venture into the cinema will be able to watch the action blockbuster, as F9 comes to VOD on Friday July 30.

　　Universal has taken advantage of a deal with cinema chains that shortens the traditional theatrical release window, allowing it to release films as premium-priced videos on demand much sooner than it would have before the pandemic. Under the current deal, movies like F9 that make over $50 million over their opening weekends must maintain theatrical exclusivity for at least five full weekends.

　　JUST IN: #F9 will become available to watch at home on-demand beginning this Friday on digital platforms like Vudu. Here is Vin Diesel talking about meeting Paul Walker on the first #FastAndFurious film, which also just celebrated its 20th anniversary.pic.twitter.com/gPYJVnP6Ut

　　With that condition now fulfilled, F9 will be available on VOD platforms like Vudu from Friday, Rotten Tomatoes' Erik Davis announced in a tweet. As reported by ScreenRant, the movie will most likely release at a price point around $20, though this is liable to vary in different territories.

　　GameSpot's review of F9 scored it 9/10, with reviewer Chris Hayner saying: "in the latest installment, Fast 9, the franchise takes the final step in accepting how ridiculous the premise has become. And, thankfully, it works like a charm."
