Overview
- Multiple outlets say the film will be available to buy or rent on Tuesday, May 12, while Amazon MGM has not formally confirmed the U.S. date and the title is already purchasable in the U.K.
- The movie remains in theaters after the studio in mid-April delayed its streaming debut and brought it back to IMAX for one week to extend the big‑screen run.
- Forbes reports $655.7 million worldwide as of Sunday, with domestic and international totals essentially even and the film ranking second globally for 2026 so far.
- Reviews remain strong, with Rotten Tomatoes showing 94% from critics and 95% from audiences, which keeps interest high as it shifts to home viewing.
