Another room after the aisle
PR Newswire carried the note on October 1. The Wonder Project channel is $8.99 a month or $89.99 a year after a seven-day free trial. Beside Young Washington, the collection lists Elkhorn Season 1, Sarah’s Oil, A Great Awakening, Audrey’s Children, and Dolly Parton: Here I Am. The slogan on the sheet is “You know the name. Discover the story.”
None of that is the first time a stranger could watch the movie at home. Digital HD landed August 11. Guild members already stream it on Angel. The Blu-ray and DVD hit September 22, and Angel’s shop marked the combo sold out. Thursday is Wonder Project putting its own July hit on the Prime add-on it controls, not a new cut or a new Friday.
What Wonder is building
Erwin’s statement in the release goes back to the origin story he has told before: he could not get a Hamilton ticket in New York, started reading Washington instead, and decided the early soldier years were the movie. He also said he is proud the film now has a home on Wonder Project as the tentpole of the history collection. That is the producer-studio claiming the catalog after Angel claimed the Independence Day corridor.
Erwin announced 1776, the Revolutionary War sequel, from Mount Vernon the weekend the first film opened. Writing has started. No cast refresh. No Friday. The open question is whether Wonder Project’s $8.99 channel becomes the place people finish Young Washington before that sequel exists, or whether the next Washington Friday still has to be sold the old way: seats, then discs, then whatever app is left.
