Noob question about newly released movies... (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Okay so for context: I've never really downloaded movies right after release, the movies that I've downloaded were all released at least few months before the time of download, so I don't know how movies releases work.

So when a movie is released, how long does it take for there to be a high-quality pirated version of it? I can't seem to find the movie on an online platform even if I were to pay for it. Are movies exclusive to an actual theater when they first get released? Right now I'm searching for that movie that was just released and all I find is HDCAMs. Does this mean that someone just secretly recorded it in a theater?

Oh btw, the movie I'm talking about is about a scientist that was involved in (at the time) a secret government weapons program during WW2. The movie was released very recently. (Hey, I didn't mentioned the name of the movie, I hope I'm not breaking the rules 😉)
