Sean Baker’s Anora has captivated audiences with its compelling narrative, leaving fans eager to know its digital release date and when it will be available to stream online. With its Palme d’Or win and status as a major awards contender, many are excited to watch the film in the comfort of their homes.
So, here’s everything we know so far about when Anora could have its digital release for streaming on VOD platforms.
When will Anora get its digital VOD release date to stream online?
Anora is expected to land for streaming on digital VOD platforms in mid-December 2024.
The film premiered in select theaters on October 18, 2024, and expanded to a wide release on November 8, 2024. According to past trends, films by Neon, the distributor of Anora, typically arrive on premium video-on-demand (PVOD) platforms, such as Apple TV and Google Play, 38 days after their theatrical debut.
For example, Infinity Pool transitioned to PVOD in just 19 days, while Anatomy of a Fall took 71 days. Given the awards season momentum of Anora, the film is expected to follow a similar trajectory to the latter. If so, fans can anticipate the digital streaming release of the movie around mid-December 2024.
Neon’s strategic approach to maximizing box office and PVOD revenue suggests that Anora could adopt a slightly longer theatrical run to capitalize on its critical success. Once it completes its PVOD run, it is also expected to stream exclusively on Hulu. This is thanks to Neon’s ongoing partnership with the platform.
Historically, the transition from theaters to Hulu has varied. While Infinity Pool reached the streaming platform in 129 days, Anatomy of a Fall took 161 days. This timeline indicates that Anora may not stream online until March 2025, possibly after the Oscars.
Fans eager to stream the movie online will need to wait for further announcements. However, its anticipated mid-December PVOD release will provide an earlier opportunity to watch the critically acclaimed drama at home.
