Yes, I noticed the same thing with "Invasive," which was scheduled for 
release on Friday at 3 am but was available late Thursday night. I 
remember when I first started listing Tubi movies that there was a 
question as to whether they were released on the stated date or the day 
before. It looks like it's the latter.

I briefly tried to figure that out but it's not clear. The trailer is 
from the BBC from 2023, and the IMDb also lists 2023 release dates for 
Canada and Germany. IMDb lists production companies in the US (Cartoon 
Network), Canada (First Generation Films) and Italy (Red Monk Studio). 
It looks like an independent production, but it must have had some 
outside money behind it.

BTW, Friday at 9 pm seems to be their time for showing their occasional 
(at least right now) premieres.
