When Will ‘Brittany Runs a Marathon’ Be on Amazon Prime?

Jillian Bell was always a treasure on Workaholics as the much-needed feminine energy on stoner bro show, and now the Bell finally gets to take the lead in Brittany Runs a Marathon, a new comedy from director and writer Paul Downs Colaizzo. In it, Bell plays Brittany Fogler (based on the real-life Brittany O’Neill, a friend of Colaizzo’s), a floundering 27-year-old woman who starts training for a marathon after her doctor tells her she needs to lose weight. Supporting cast members include Michaela Watkins, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Lil Rel Howery, and Micah Stock.

After a critically-praised Sundance premiere in January, Amazon Studios snatched up the film for distribution and paid a staggering $14 million to do so. Now the streaming service will finally see if that investment pays off, as the film opens in theaters this weekend. It’s been a while since Amazon has had a big hit in theaters; Mindy Kaling’s highly-anticipated Late Night made only $15 million at the domestic box office, which was less than half of what Kumail Nanjiani’s 2017 romantic comedy The Big Sick made. After Bob Berney, the head of theatrical distribution and marketing at the studio, left the company in June, rumors swirled that Amazon would be changing up its theatrical release model. But—as you’ll see below—that’s not the case for Brittany Runs a Marathon.
