However, this seems to be grammatical confusion on the part of Disney. With this title card, they mean that Hamilton is streaming exclusively on Disney+ from July 3 rather than just streaming on that date. This was confirmed by Disney’s press release announcing that the Hamilton ‘movie’ release date had been pushed forward a year.
