Jersey in the British Channel Islands, and I want to stress I would happily and very gladly, givingly, support this movie day 1 if I have an available option to do so.
But, to the best of my knowledge, HBO Max is not available in Britain, nor is there a streaming service that are distributing its IPs to this territory in lieu of its service, whilst our local cinema (a Cineworld complex) closed down during lockdown last year, then the land was sold for redevelopment whilst it was shut, so it's never going to reopen. We're a 9 miles by 5 miles island in the British Channel, we're not a priority in anybody's books and there's no other options unless I go to the mainlands (either the UK or France), but I can't due to travel restrictions due to covid.
I LOVE MK and have since 1992, and SO want to support the new movie day 1 financially, I don't care if it's rubbish (the trailers alone prove it'll be better than Annihilation already and that's good enough for me after 24 years of waiting) and want to help in any way I can to let them know there's demand and adoration for live action Mortal Kombat productions. But I live somewhere where sadly on release date I don't believe I have any option to see it legitimately and support it financially, except through shitty elicit means and I really don't want to. I'll pay for it gladly the day it releases, but I don't see any options that are available to me to do so. And by that same token I'm not waiting 6 months for that opportunity, I want to see it in 3 weeks time with the rest of you but sadly for me that means I can't do so in a financially supportive way because it seems there's no means to do so at present. I will pay for it the moment I can, even if I thought it was crap when I do see it, I've waited since 1997 for a third movie, I want there to be more (hell I've got all the UK DVDs of Conquest, the Australian DVDs of Conquest AND the US DVDs of Conquest... because I'm clearly insane), no matter how this one turns out, but I've also sadly not been given many legitimate options to see it on April 16th 2021.
Give me a territorially-viable option on 16th April Warner Bros and I'll happily give you my debit card numbers, however if they're not available to my territory, sorry but I'll be googling putlocker mirrors until you give me the opportunity to say thank you with my money for real. You've restricted my options to be financially supportive on day one, it's nothing to do with me not wanting to.
