I downloaded the movie after seeing it in theatre to once again enjoy it from the comfort of my home. Seeing 2160p, I thought it's going to be a webcam rip but the title says webrip. Where is this leaked from that has Dolby Vision on a movie still in theatre?

IIRC digital cinema files are usually DRM locked in a special format and are also imperceptibly watermarked somewhere throughout the video. They're distributed to cinemas usually on physical hard drives/SSD's. I don't know anything about the security details other than that, off to YouTube it is!

I think I also remember from a reddit thread many moon ago that they need to be internet connected somehow, and can only be played on a scheduled time slot.

I know a cinema manager, and yes they (new releases) all need internet acces and are time locked aswell
