Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal star in Materialists, a new romantic comedy from director Celine Song, reviving the genre on the big screen. Released in the US on June 13, global fans must wait a bit longer for its worldwide debut.
Materialists OTT release
Materialists is gearing up to enchant global moviegoers with its highly anticipated theatrical rollout on August 16.
Defying the conventional timeline that typically bridges a film’s cinema run to its streaming debut, this romantic comedy is taking its time before hitting OTT platforms, leaving digital services devoid of the title for now.
Multiple reports have quashed speculation about a Netflix release, citing the film’s unique distribution strategy. Brought to life by the acclaimed A24 studio, which recently forged a landmark content partnership with Warner Bros.
Discovery, Materialists is primed to find its streaming home on Max, the go-to platform for A24’s forthcoming releases. Insiders hint that the star-studded Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal vehicle is almost certain to make its digital splash on Max.
Though the film’s creators have yet to unveil precise details surrounding its OTT launch, industry buzz, as reported by Economic Times, points to a likely premiere on Max under the “Pay-1” window agreement between A24 and Warner Bros. Discovery, promising fans a vibrant rom-com experience when it finally streams.
Under such agreements, films usually hit streaming platforms after completing their theatrical run, following availability for digital purchase or rental.
Materialists' Explosive OTT Launch Hype
A24’s recent release, Babygirl, employed a similar release strategy, arriving on Max for streaming roughly four months after its theatrical premiere.
If Materialists adheres to a comparable timeline, reports indicate it could be available for digital purchase or rental by July 2025. Likewise, the film is expected to stream on Max around October 2025, according to the same reports. However, these projected dates are speculative and may shift based on the film’s box office performance.
For those planning to watch Materialists on OTT, Max offers subscription plans starting at $9.99 per month with ads or $16.99 per month for an ad-free experience. Additionally, Max is included in Disney+ bundles, which combine Hulu and Max for a comprehensive streaming package.
Materialists
Set against the vibrant backdrop of New York City, Materialists weaves a captivating tale of a love triangle involving three characters portrayed by Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal.
Johnson stars as a matchmaker torn between her former lover and her perfect match.
The film also features Zoe Winters, Marin Ireland, Dasha Nekrasova, Louisa Jacobson, and Sawyer Spielberg.
Materialists serves as the next project from director Celine Song, following her Oscar-nominated gem, Past Lives.
