Good news horror fans – one of the year's best horror movies, Weapons will be streaming sooner rather than later. The second film from Barbarian director Zach Cregger is just as twisty as his first feature, but tells a darker, weightier story.

It's performed well at the box office, too, pulling in almost $267m worldwide since its release in August, comfortably putting it in the top 20 of movies released this year so far.

But when is Weapons coming to streaming? And where will you be able to see it? Well, we have a confirmed answer now, so scroll on down to find out when and where Weapons will be available to watch from the comfort of your own home.

If you don't mind splashing the cash then Weapons is already available to rent and buy on PVOD platforms. If you've been waiting for it to hit streaming, however, we have some good news for you: it's coming very soon.

Weapons is distributed by Warner Bros, which means that the film will find its streaming home on HBO Max in the United States. We predicted a couple of months back that it would arrive on the streamer just before Halloween, "potentially October 17 or October 24, 2025."

Well, our guess was on the money. It has just been revealed over at Discussing Film that Weapons will be streaming on HBO Max from October 24. Great news for anyone who has been holding out to watch the movie at home. Halloween just got that bit spookier!
