Barbie Streaming Release Status
Release by Warner Bros., Barbie will eventually make its way onto Max, its newly titled streaming service.
2023's WB DC release, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, hit Max on May 23, 67 days after its theatrical opening on March 17.
However, that 67-day turnaround may not be an accurate comparison as Shazam! 2 may have been pushed forward to hit Max on its first day after being rebranded from HBO Max.
Another 2023 WB film, Evil Dead Rise, became available on Max 63 days after its theatrical release.
However, both of these first-half 2023 films grossed less than $150 million worldwide at the box office.
Barbie will be a different story, almost certainly passing $150 during its global opening weekend.
Factoring in the expectation for this colorful summer flick to be a massive box office hit, it may be a while until it hits streaming.
90 days after its theatrical release, and what the studio hopes is a long run in theaters, October 19 could be a possible release date for Barbie on Max.
Otherwise, expect the film to hit streaming in September at the earliest and October at the latest.
