Will I get a dvd when I paid nothing for it

[Dotty12340]

I just wanted to get a film for my dad through here as Xmas present and sky said the film and dvd were going to be released today. But I type in the film he wanted and it's said buy and keep HD digital and thought yes I will be send the dvd and then I click on my sky glass account and the film there but the confirmation email never said about the dvd is being sent out and I paid nothing for this film and want to know will I receive a dvd or not?

Morning @Dotty12340 

To the best of my knowledge, Sky no longer have an option to include a physical disc with any of the movie orders. 

"Buy and keep" refers to the fact you keep the digital download (as opposed to renting the movie)

but - no DVD.

Oh okay thanks 😞 I feel gutted about it now cause I don't know when 

Salem's Lot is coming out on dvd

I can't see a date for the new Salem's lot  anywhere @Dotty12340 

Movies (like this one) which change very quickly from Cinema release to official online streaming are often those which arrive quicker on physical disc no hoping for you there will be an announcement soon.

Given that went straight from a (notional) cinema release as part of a film festival in the US* to streaming on Max a week later, I'd imagine it's quite possible there won't be a physical media version at all.

Looks like it only narrowly escaped being another non-released tax write-off enjoyed only by Warner Bros. Discovery Inc corporate accountants...

* Presumably so it's eligible for the next award season, although from reading the reviews it seems unlikely anyone involved is in much danger of needing a bigger mantlepiece ; )

I did intend to write "so hoping for you" @Dotty12340  🙂

but will be interesting to see if @TimmyBGood is correct and a lack of demand will result in lack of a disc.
