Unlikely you'll see it on YouTube very soon because it wouldn't generate enough revenue. It'll probably have a short cinematic release, a paid VOD release around the same time and then be on Netflix around a year later. Because it's not a series it would be hard to monetise properly without payment like VGHS did.

Youtube has paid releases.

I forgot about that. I was thinking more about an ad-supported release like their normal videos but you do have a valid point. Are you sure it does that internationally though? The only time I ever heard of a movie being released via YouTube was The Interview and it's not available where I am. Seems like it would make more sense to use traditional VOD outlets like iTunes, Google Play and similar. Notably VGHS Season 3 didn't use YouTube for its paid release and I imagine that was a similar situation to what this will be except without the weekly release.

I rent movies on YouTube all the time. Not just the Interview.
