Now that It ends with us has been in theaters for over a month, many are wondering when it will finally be available to stream on Netflix.
Starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni (who also directed). It ends with us has been a major box office hit, grossing over $325 million worldwide as of writing.
The film is still playing in select theaters worldwide due to its success, meaning fans may have to wait longer than originally expected for its digital and streaming releases.
When will it end when we publish digitally?
Like other Sony Pictures projects, It ends with us will eventually be streamed on Netflix, but before then fans will have the option to buy and/or rent it digitally through services like Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.
Other recent Sony Pictures releases followed the general 30–60 day theatrical-digital window, with less financially successful releases becoming available for digital purchase closer to the 30-day mark, and more successful releases waiting 60 days or close to 60 days.
For example, here are some recent Sony Pictures movies and their theatrical and digital release dates, as well as how many days were between each project’s two releases:
- No hard feelings
- Theatre: 23 June 2023
- Digital: August 15, 2023 (53 days later)
- Anyone but you
- Theater performance: 22 December 2023
- Digital: February 20, 2024 (60 days later)
- Madame Web
- Theatre: 14 February 2024
- Digital: March 15, 2024 (30 days later)
- Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
- Theatre: 22 March 2024
- Digital: May 7, 2024 (46 days later)
- Bad Boys: Ride or Die
- Theatre: 7 June 2024
- Digital: July 23, 2024 (46 days later)
- Fly me to the moon
- In the theater: 12 July 2024
- Digital: August 13, 2024 (32 days later)
As mentioned, the theatrical-digital windows of each listed film depended largely on how well they performed at the box office.
By seeing how It ends with us has performed so well that fans can probably expect its window to be at or around the 60-day mark, which would mean its digital release date would be October 11.
It is also important to note It ends with us is still playing in some theaters, making it even more likely that it won’t be available digitally until later.
When will it stop when we start streaming on Netflix?
Similar to its theatrical-to-digital window, Sony Pictures has also recently followed the general theatrical-to-streaming concept of adding its movies to Netflix about 120 days after they were originally released in theaters.
However, there have been some deviations, such as Madame Webwhich began streaming just 90 days after it was released in theaters, but the shortened window was due to the film’s poor box office performance:
- No hard feelings
- Theatre: 23 June 2023
- Netflix: October 22, 2023 (121 days later)
- Anyone but you
- Theater performance: 22 December 2023
- Netflix: April 23, 2024 (123 days later)
- Madame Web
- Theatre: 14 February 2024
- Netflix: May 14, 2024 (90 days later)
- Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
- Theatre: 22 March 2024
- Netflix: July 22, 2024 (122 days later)
It ends with usThe success will likely affect its Netflix release date, as Sony Pictures likely wants it to be available exclusively on digital platforms for as long as possible.
So fans can finally wait It ends with us will begin streaming approximately 120 days after it was released in theaters.
Since it premiered on August 9th, December 9th would be exactly 120 days later. However, Netflix is likely to wait a few days for its premiere on the platform on Friday, so its possible exact streaming date could be Friday, December 13th.
It ends with us is currently playing in theaters and is expected to be available digitally on October 11.
