Description:
After the big box office success of Barbenheimer, when can we expect to
stream Barbie and which streaming service will we be able to watch it on?

FULL STORY ======================================================================

If you're wondering when Barbie be available to stream at home, then unfortunately nothing concrete has been revealed yet. But we can make some educated guesses based on previous release schedules.

While Warner. Bros Discovery (WBD) has not yet made any official
announcement, given that it owns Max (formerly known as HBO Max), it is
almost certain that we can expect Barbie to stream on the service when it finishes its box office run.

So, if you've been considering which of the best streaming services to sign
up for, then this could tempt you to become a Max subscriber. Unless, you're in the Oppenheimer camp, then you might want to look to Peacock instead. When will Barbie be released on Max?

Margot Robbie's Barbie movie was released in cinemas on July 21, using this as a date to work forward from we can look at previous WBD release schedules to start to predict when it might be available. So, if recent streaming release schedules are anything to go by, then we could expect Barbie to
arrive on Max as soon as September 27.

This is based on recent WBD movie launches. Looking at box office successes like Creed 3 and Evil Dead Rise which premiered in cinemas on March 3 and April 21 2023, respectively, and were later released on streaming services on June 9 and June 23 2023 we can expect that Barbie might take anywhere
between 64 and 98 days to land on Max.

With Shazam! Fury of the Gods, for instance, the movie started streaming 68 days after its theater premier although that was notably a flop after receiving bad reviews. But it marked a big switch up from when WBD had been releasing films simultaneously on HBO Max and theaters during the pandemic.
It has since gone back to giving its blockbusters some solid box office time before making them available to stream.

A fall release makes sense for Barbie , then probably later in September, or early October. But this could easily be changed like the many shows and films that have been affected by the writers strike . Amid the Hollywood writers
and actors strikes, many release schedules have been tweaked just recently Hulu and Sony delayed new movie and TV show releases over the strikes however, it's unlikely Barbie will be delayed. If anything, it might come to the streamer soon, because there may be a lack of original new Max movies and shows. Why we can't wait to explore Barbie Land at home

This summer has been a whirlwind of box office blockbusters, with Barbie raking in $356 million in its opening weekend, making it the biggest debut ever for a film directed by a women and completely revitalizing the cinema.

Its been a big hit with all types of audiences for Greta Gerwigs (who also wrote and directed Lady Bird and Little Women ) hysterically earnest and entertaining approach to a movie about a toy that was a big part of so many youngsters childhoods. The new movie even surpassed Christopher Nolans Oppenheimer in the opening week, and after seeing both I can see why it has more mass appeal.

I unfortunately wasnt able to see Oppenheimer in the IMAX but I did watch Barbie in Dolbys screening room in Soho Square to much delight it made Ryan Goslings musical number (which was already filled with big Kenergy) come to life with Dolby Atmos surround sound. It's likely to make the cut for one of the best Max movies .
