Ari Aster’s ‘Eddington’ Sets HBO Max Debut for Nov. 14, With HBO Premiere Nov. 15

The Cannes-lauded satire reaches streaming after a theatrical run that fell well below its reported $25 million budget.

Overview

  • HBO Max confirms the film will begin streaming on Friday, Nov. 14, with a linear HBO premiere slated for Saturday, Nov. 15.
  • Outlets list conflicting times for the HBO telecast (8 p.m. ET vs. 8 a.m. ET), so viewers should check the official schedule closer to air.
  • Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal lead the cast in a May 2020-set standoff in Eddington, New Mexico, framed as a politically charged COVID-era drama.
  • The A24 release earned about $12.8–13 million worldwide after a $4.3–4.4 million opening weekend, trailing its reported $25 million net production cost.
  • Written and directed by Ari Aster and produced with Lars Knudsen under Square Peg, the film premiered at Cannes to a reported near seven-minute ovation.
