Is ‘Nope’ Streaming on HBO Max or Netflix?

Things may be bad, but at least Jordan Peele is back with another horror banger. Nope is opening in theaters this weekend and promises to deliver all the laughs and thrills of Peele’s previous two films, Get Out and Us.

Peele, who wrote and directed the film, reunites with Get Out star Daniel Kaluuya, who stars alongside Keke Palmer as two siblings who inherit their father’s ranch after he is killed by an object falling from the sky. Brother and sister attempt to catch evidence on film of UFOs in the area, and in the process get mixed up in some pretty messed up situations. Yeah, nope!

Also starring Steven Yeun, Brandon Perea, and Michael Wincott, Nope is sure to be a movie that gets audiences talking this summer, and you don’t want to miss it. Read on to find out where to watch Nope and when to expect Nope on streaming.

WHERE TO WATCH NOPE MOVIE:

UPDATE, 8/25/2022: As of Tuesday, August 25, Nope is now available to rent on premium video-on-demand on digital platforms like Amazon Prime, Vudu, Google Play, and more. The movie costs $19.99 to rent, and you will have access to the film for a 48-hour window after hitting play.

WHEN WILL JORDAN PEELE’S NOPE BE STREAMING?

UPDATE, 8/25/2022: As of Tuesday, August 25, Nope is now available to rent on premium video-on-demand on digital platforms like Amazon Prime, Vudu, Google Play, and more. The movie costs $19.99 to rent, and you will have access to the film for a 48-hour window after hitting play.

Nope is a Universal movie, and previous Universal movies like The Northman landed on VOD about one month, or 45 days, after opening in theaters. If Nope follows a similar pattern, you can expect to be able to rent the movie on VOD in mid-September 2022. You should also expect to see Nope on Peacock Premium around the same time.

All this is to say: We don’t know when exactly Nope will be on VOD. But we can expect Nope to be on Peacock in 2022, because starting with the 2022 film slate, Universal movies are now going to Peacock Premium as soon as 45 days after opening in theaters. That said, it could be later than 45 days—Nope is a highly anticipated movie, and if the film is doing well in theaters, Universal may want to keep it in theaters for longer than 45 days.

WHEN WILL NOPE BE ON PEACOCK?

There is not yet a Peacock streaming release date for Nope. That said, we can make an educated guess as to when Nope will be on the streaming service. Another recent Universal movie, The Northman, began streaming on Peacock Premium after a 45-day theatrical run and was also available on VOD the next day.

If Nope follows a similar streaming release strategy, you can expect Nope to release on Peacock around the first full week of September 2022.

WILL NOPE BE ON DISNEY+?

No(pe). Nope is a Universal movie, not a Disney movie, and therefore will never be streaming on Disney.+

WILL NOPE BE STREAMING ON HBO MAX?

No-pe. Nope is a Universal movie, not a Warner Bros. Also, HBO Max will no longer be streaming theatrical movies in 2022. (Last year, Warner Bros. opted to simultaneously release its theatrical slate on streaming, meaning HBO Max subscribers could watch movies like Matrix Resurrections at home. This year, however, Warner Bros. theatrical movies will have a 45-day theaters-only run before moving to HBO Max.) It’s possible that Nope will be on HBO and HBO Max someday, but it will not be any time soon.

IS NOPE STREAMING ON NETFLIX?

Nope will not be on Netflix any time soon. However, the movie may eventually go to Netflix, albeit not for another 4 years. A deal between Universal and Netflix gives the streaming service access to live-action films from Universal Filmed Entertainment Group about four years after they open in theaters. In the case of Nope, that means July 2026. That’s a long time to wait, so if you want to see the movie ASAP, your best bet is to go to a movie theater or wait for it to come on Peacock.
