Free movies on Plex - missing?

Online Media Sources

Hi, I recently received emails from Plex and several notifications on the iOS app about movies available to be streamed for free on Plex. However, when I open the movie links in the email, click on the notifications or try searching for the movies in Plex I’m not able to find any way to stream them. There are other movies available for streaming but none of the latest ones Plex advertised. Haven’t seen anyone else post about this problem though so not sure if it’s just me who is affected.

Examples:
Hannibal
Cashback
Horrible Bosses 2
Also the ones from A24:

Any idea why it won’t let me stream?

I can find Hannibal using a Chrome browser on Linux (I know nothing about IOS)

Just guessing, as I don’t use the free content.

But where are you based?

It could be that the specific free content is not available in your region.

These titles are unfortunately only available in the U.S. for streaming (through Plex).

Oh, I’m in Europe so that explains it. Thanks for letting me know!

In that case, I think it’s poorly done by Plex not to inform about it being US only. Even a small disclaimer in the emails would’ve been enough and less confusing.
