One month ahead of schedule, the movie will be available on Netflix in the United States.
Coming soon to theaters, Sony’s highly anticipated new Marvel film will also be available on Netflix in a few select territories beginning in 2024. Here’s a summary of when we anticipate the film to release in various countries, including the US, where it will be available on Netflix much sooner than anticipated.
The film, which stars Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor, Sydney Sweeney, and Dakota Johnson, is set in the expanding Sony Spider-Man Universe of motion pictures, which are all based on Marvel Comics. Johnson plays the paramedic Cassandra, who gains psychic skills that enable her to predict future events in the world of spiders.
Madame Web has not exactly received great reviews thus far, as you have no doubt observed. It is presently rated 19% on RottenTomatoes, where the majority of reviews bemoan the film’s flaws and lack of originality while also criticizing the narrative and performances. It’s dubbed “Cats: The Movie of superhero movies” by Rolling Stone.
When can US users stream Madame Web on Netflix? By 2024
First, the United States, where Madame Web will be available on Netflix for eighteen months after its theatrical run concludes, is where we should start. We are aware of this because to a significant agreement reached in 2021 between Netflix and Sony, which allowed Netflix to acquire the full theatrical slate for 2022 and beyond.
This will be Marvel’s third film to debut in the US on Netflix within this initial timeframe. The first was the second Spider-Man Spider-Verse film, while the first was Morbius, which will leave Netflix in February 2024.
While not every Sony film has debuted on Netflix in precisely the same way, most of them have done so on or around 120 days following their theatrical debut.
If Madame Web had been given those 120 days, the movie would have been on Netflix US on June 13, 2024, but it will arrive on the streaming service even sooner.
It is already official that starting May 14, 2024, Madame Web will be available for streaming on Netflix.
In this initial window of 2024, more Sony films, such as Anyone But You, It Ends with Us, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, and The Garfield Movie, will be available on Netflix US.
Is Madame Web going to be available on Netflix worldwide?
Internationally, especially in several US-like regions, Sony films are available on Netflix. However, they generally show up a few years after the movie’s original theatrical premiere.
Similar to the US, Netflix India has the first window contract; therefore, it should be added in June 2024.
New Sony films are added to Netflix in South Korea, Israel, and certain European countries within a year of their theatrical debut, so it should happen sometime in 2024.
When Sony films expire in the US, which would be late 2025 in the case of Madame Web, Netflix appears to be obtaining them in the UK.
In 2-4 years, the film should be available for streaming anywhere else.
