Right now, the only place to watch The Bad Guys is at a movie theater, but you won’t have to wait long to catch the film on streaming. Read on to find out how to watch The Bad Guys and when to expect The Bad Guys streaming on Peacock and Netflix. WHERE TO WATCH THE BAD GUYS:For now, the only way to watch The Bad Guys is to go to a movie theater. The Bad Guys will open in theaters in the U.S on April 22, 2022. You can find tickets at a theater near you here. After the movie’s theatrical run, you will be able to stream The Bad Guys on Peacock, the NBC Universal streaming service, and then, eventually, on Netflix. You’ll also be able to rent The Bad Guys on digital platforms like Amazon Prime, iTunes, YouTube, Google Play, and more. WILL THE BAD GUYS BE ON HBO MAX?No. The Bad Guys is a Universal Pictures movie, not a Warner Bros. movie, and therefore will not be streaming on HBO Max when it opens in theaters. Also, HBO Max will no longer be streaming theatrical movies in 2022. Last year, Warner Media opted to simultaneously release its theatrical slate on streaming, meaning HBO Max subscribers could watch movies like Matrix Resurrections at home. This year, however, Warner Bros. theatrical movies will have a 45-day theaters-only run before moving to HBO Max. WHEN WILL THE BAD GUYS BE STREAMING? WHEN WILL THE BAD GUYS BE ON PEACOCK?While there is not an official Peacock release date for The Bad Guys, we can expect The Bad Guys to be on the streaming service after 45 days in theaters. Therefore, you should see The Bad Guys on Peacock as early as mid-June 2022. This is because, starting with the 2022 film slate, Universal movies will come to Peacock Premium as soon as 45 days after opening in theaters. (That said, it could be later than 45 days.) The Bad Guyswill stream exclusively on Peacock for four months. IS THE BAD GUYS ON NETFLIX?Not yet. However, The Bad Guys will be on Netflix after its four-month run on Peacock, thanks to a long-running deal between Netflix and Universal Filmed Entertainment Group that gives Netflix exclusive rights in the U.S. to the media company’s animated feature films. Therefore, you can expect to see The Bad Guys on Netflix around October or November 2022, depending on when the film launches on Peacock. You will also be able to rent The Bad Guys on VOD, but it’s less clear when that will be. Recent Universal movies No Time To Die and The 355 both landed on VOD about one month after opening in theaters. If The Bad Guys follows a similar pattern, you can expect to be able to rent the movie for $20 on VOD in late May 2022. That said, other Universal movies, like the M. Night Shyamalan thriller Old, took over two months to release on digital, so take this estimate with a grain of salt All this is to say: We don’t know when The Bad Guys will be on VOD. Stay tuned for more information. |
