- The movie is available to purchase or rent on Prime Video, Apple TV, and YouTube, with no subscription streaming option yet.
- HBO Max has confirmed a later streaming window through its A24 partnership, though a premiere date has not been announced.
- The story takes loose inspiration from ping‑pong legend Marty Reisman and his 1974 autobiography The Money Player rather than presenting a strict biopic.
