Scooby-Doo Reboot SCOOB! Headed Straight to Premium VOD
Warner Bros. animated Scooby-Doo reboot Scoob! was originally set to hit theaters on May 15th. But today we hear the movie will be skipping theaters altogether and will be released instead on PVOD on May 15 in the U.S. and Canada for a 48-hour rental period for $19.99.
This works out f*cking GREAT for me as I’m tired as hell of watching an endless loop of Frozen 2, Onward, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Trolls: Heavy Metal Music is Evil with my little ones. Some good old Scooby and Shaggy are just what they need!
Warner Bros CEO Ann Sarnoff says: “While we’re all eager to be able to once again show our films in theaters, we’re navigating new, unprecedented times which call for creative thinking and adaptability in how we distribute our content. We know fans are eager to see Scoob! and we’re delighted we can deliver this feel-good movie for families to enjoy while they’re home together.”

Scoob! is directed by Tony Cervone and reveals how lifelong friends Scooby and Shaggy first met and how they joined with young detectives Fred, Velma and Daphne to form the famous Mystery Inc. Now, with hundreds of cases solved and adventures shared, Scooby and the gang face their biggest, most challenging mystery ever: a plot to unleash the ghost dog Cerberus upon the world. As they race to stop this global “dogpocalypse,” the gang discovers that Scooby has a secret legacy and an epic destiny greater than anyone imagined.
