Can you stream it with a subscription?
U.S. subscription streaming sits on Netflix. Netflix started the film on September 20, 2025, about three months after theaters, under Sony's Pay-1 first-streaming-window deal, according to Tom's Guide streaming window breakdown.
Access requires an active Netflix plan and carries no extra rental fee. That makes U.S. Netflix members the only group with subscription-streaming access.
Where can you rent or buy it digitally?
The film reached U.S. Premium Video on Demand on July 29, 2025. Premium Video on Demand means early paid home viewing before subscription streaming.
Sellers include Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home. Initial pricing was $19.99 to rent and $24.99 to buy, according to Bloody Disgusting PVOD pricing report. The purchase option included 4K Ultra HD where offered. Buyers keep access in their store library, while renters face a limited viewing window.
Is the disc worth it for collectors and borrowers?
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment issued 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on September 23, 2025, according to Screen-Connections disc release details. The discs include bonus featurettes.
Discs suit repeat viewers, people with slow connections, and fans who want extras. They also enable two lower-cost paths: buy used or borrow from a public library.
Is there a legal free option or U.K. stream?
There is no legal free standalone stream in the U.S. Non-subscribers must rent, buy, borrow the disc, or use a library service. U.K.
viewers face a narrower choice. They remain limited to rental or purchase on Prime Video and Apple TV. Check your local store page before paying, since availability and picture quality vary by retailer.
