Where is it streaming by subscription?
Current U.S. guides still list the film streaming by subscription on Disney+ and Max, plus Max Amazon Channel and DirecTV, according to the current Poor Stuart's Guide listing. That matters if you already pay for one of those apps. Pick the app you keep rather than starting a second subscription for one film.
The shared streaming window began June 7, 2023, on both Disney+ and Max. Warner Bros. Discovery said it was the last title under the prior HBO output deal, according to the Warner Bros. Discovery announcement. Disney's version includes bonus content featuring filmmakers, cast and crew.
Where can you rent it?
Viewers without those subscriptions can rent digitally on Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, Fandango at Home, Google Play/YouTube and Vudu, according to the Moviefone watch guide. Rental prices typically start from $3.99.
Rental is the lowest one-time cost for a single viewing. Check these details before you pay:.
- Choose HD or 4K when offered for a large TV.
- Check viewing window and expiration after you press play.
- Compare checkout prices because storefronts can differ by format.
Where can you buy a digital copy?
The same retailers sell it as a digital download. Prices start around $9.99-$14.99, with an earlier listing around $19.99 in up to 4K with Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos. Buying gives indefinite rewatch access without a subscription.
Buy only if you expect to rewatch a long effects-driven sequel. One rental is cheaper for a single night. A purchase makes sense for fans, households sharing one library, or viewers who want extras and high-quality formats.
Is there a legal free option, and what about 4K?
There is no legal free on-demand option, according to the ComingSoon.net guide. That report also notes that neither Disney+ nor Max/HBO Max offers a free trial for the title.
Your practical choices are subscribe, rent or buy, or borrow a library disc. For picture quality, the film is available in 4K on Disney+, Apple TV Store and Amazon Video. Owners of a 4K TV should use one of those apps rather than an SD-only option.
