When Will The Fall Guy Release On Streaming?
The Fall Guy Will Stream On Peacock
Universal has not yet confirmed when The Fall Guy's streaming release date is. It is expected that the film will stream on Peacock when the time comes thanks to Universal's involvement. Based on the studio's history, there is a rough window for the streaming release that can be predicted. Universal typically waits between three and four months to move theatrically released movies to streaming. Based on current trends and recent examples, The Fall Guy could be released on streaming in August 2024 following a successful theatrical run.
If The Fall Guy exceeds box office expectations, its estimated streaming release date could be pushed back.
When Will The Fall Guy Release On Digital?
It Will Be Released On PVOD Later
Those wanting to watch The Fall Guy at home will have an earlier opportunity through its digital release. Universal has not confirmed when the 2024 action movie will debut on most major PVOD services. The studio tends to wait about one month on average, with most Universal movies going to digital after 18 or 32 days, typically depending on box office success. That should mean that there will be an opportunity to buy or rent The Fall Guy in June 2024 assuming it is a box office hit. If it stumbles, a late May 2024 digital release is possible.
