Spider-Man: No Way Home hits streaming online in an exclusive contract with Starz and Jurassic World: Dominion is now available on Amazon, 5 weeks after its theatrical release.
Spider-Man: No Way Home now streaming on Starz
Spider-Man: No Way Home is now available on Starz.
Nearly 8 months after its theatrical release, Spider-Man: No Way Home is finally streaming online, but Disney+ subscribers will have to wait quite a while if they want to watch it without a Starz subscription.
As part of an exclusive deal with Sony, Starz nabbed the box office hit with an 18 month exclusive contract. Which would mean No Way Home wouldn’t hit Disney+ until next Christmas, if ever.
Directed by Jon Watts and starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jacob Batalon, Jon Favreau, Jaime Foxx, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Benedict Wong, Tony Revolori, Marisa Tomei, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire, Spider-Man: No Way Home is Sony’s highest-grossing movie in history.
Jurassic World: Dominion hits streaming services one month after theatrical release
Jurassic World: Dominion is now available on Amazon.
Jurassic World: Dominion hit theaters June 10, 2022, 66 million years after the Cretaceous Period and just 5 weeks ago.
After reeling in negative reviews, the 3rd installment in the Jurassic World series fell pretty hard, and in a hurry. After a sharp drop in its second week, Dominion managed to haul in just $8.4 million in its 4th week. By comparison, Top Gun: Maverick managed to stay in 3rd place, raking in an additional $15.5 million in its 6th week.
The blockbuster is scheduled to hit Peacock four months after its theatrical release for free, which would put it somewhere in October, but it is a bit surprising that Universal decided to give it a VOD release so soon.
Directed by Colin Trevorrow and starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Laura Dem, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill, DeWanda Wise, Mamoudou Athie, BD Wong, and Omar Sy, Jurassic World: Dominion is the final chapter in the Jurassic World series and follows Owen Grady and Claire Dearing into a future where dinosaurs live cooperatively with humans yet a new threat emerges when Dr. Lewis Dodgson (Campbell Scott) pursues experiments that have disastrous consequences.
