Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait until it becomes available to rent or purchase on digital platforms like Vudu, Apple, YouTube and Amazon, or becomes available to stream on Max.

WHEN WILL GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE BE STREAMING ON MAX? WHAT IS THE GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE MAX RELEASE DATE?

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is being distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures — meaning it will indeed join Max. Since the company no longer drops its movies on the streaming platform the same day they’re released in theaters, we are going to have to wait at least 45 days before we can watch from the comfort of our living rooms.

While there is no official streaming release date yet, The Color Purple, another Warner Bros. movie, was released in theaters on Dec. 25 and didn’t make its way to Max until Feb. 16 — nearly eight weeks after it debuted. If Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire follows the same trajectory, it’s possible we won’t be able to stream it until late May 2024.

WILL GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE BE ON NETFLIX?

Warner Bros. Discovery films typically head right to Max after their release, however, it is completely possible that Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire will join Netflix at some point in the future. This is due to a deal penned between the two streaming giants that gave Netflix the streaming rights to eight DCEU movies along with other Warner Bros. Discovery projects like the original Dune and Meg 2: The Trench.
