A milestone countdown begins for Epic Universe this week. We’re 100 days away from the opening of Orlando’s first new theme park in a generation.
It’s a fine time to reboot and enroll in Epic 101, a course that reviews what we know and what we don’t know about Universal Orlando’s expansion, which Mark Woodbury, CEO of Universal Destinations & Experiences, has referred to as “the most technologically advanced park we’ve ever done.”
The park was announced at Orange County Convention Center in 2019. Universal has shared details along the way about its rides, shows and hotels, but burning questions remain.
When and where
Epic Universe is under construction between Sand Lake Road and Universal Boulevard, just north of the convention center. That’s about 2.5 miles southeast of Universal Orlando’s existing theme parks, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, as well as Volcano Bay water park and Universal CityWalk. Epic is on “the other side” of Interstate 4.
Universal will run buses between its original parks and hotels and the Epic area. There will be open-air parking available near Epic for visitors only going to the new park.
The grand opening of Epic Universe is scheduled for May 22, the Thursday before Memorial Day.
The theme team
Epic Universe will be divided into five lands. Visitors will enter through Celestial Park, which includes a coaster and a carousel. Other lands are Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic and Dark Universe, which features classic monsters such as the Creature From the Black Lagoon, the Mummy and brides of Dracula.
Alicia Stella, owner of Orlando ParkStop website, has been monitoring the park since before construction began. Some people are confused by the “five immersive worlds” push, she said, thinking that means five parks — and five tickets.
It doesn’t. The rounded gateways, which Universal calls “portals,” are the walkways from Celestial Park to the other four lands, which are all part of Epic.
“People think all of the worlds are individual theme parks because they have their own portal entrance and because they’re being advertised in individual commercials,” Stella said. “It’s like ‘Do I need a ticket for each world?’”
The portal layout, which will funnel Epic crowds into lands, concerns Tharin White, lead producer of EYNTK.info, an Orlando-based travel website.
“I don’t know what happens when you have to go through a single portal to get into Super Nintendo World, to then go into a second single portal to head into the Donkey Kong Country,” he said. “To me, that just sounds like bottleneck after bottleneck after bottleneck.”
Construction continues on Epic Universe theme park, which is scheduled to open May 22. The attraction will be a few miles southeast of the other two Universal Orlando park, near Orange County Convention Center. (@bioreconstruct)
Big rides on way
Yes. There will be four roller coasters across Epic. Mine-Cart Madness, in the Donkey Kong Country subsection of Super Nintendo World, already has a talking point: A moment where the car appears to leap over a gap in its broken rail.
Hiccup’s Wing Gliders will fly over Isle of Berk; Curse of the Werewolf will be a coaster with spinning cars in Dark Universe; and Stardust Racers, operating in Celestial Park, will be a dual-launch racing ride.
Wizarding World won’t have a coaster, but it will feature Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, a ride that follows the trial (and escape) of Dolores Umbridge, a cruel character from the Potterverse.
Dark Universe will have big thrill ride. Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment will boast more than a dozen animatronic figures in an adventure that’s set beneath Frankenstein Manor.

Tick, tick, tickets
Tickets are now on sale for Epic Universe, but there are limited options so far.
You can buy multiday Universal Orlando tickets, which come with a one-day pass for Epic Universe.
Or if you are a Universal annual passholder, you can buy one-day tickets for Epic. Ticket prices vary by date, and this category is sold out for the first 17 days that Epic is open. The lowest posted price through the rest of 2025 is $122.
More Epic tickets, including one-day tickets, will be sold before the park opens, the Universal website says. That’s also true for Universal Express, the resort’s system for skipping lines. But whether they’ll be available months, day, weeks or even hours before opening isn’t known yet.
Preview mode
When Universal announced the first phase of ticket sales last fall, it mentioned “soft opening opportunities” for passholders. No more information has been shared.
Typically, employee previews would precede those events. There are signs of that happening. Some team members are being trained on the site, a Starbucks is open inside the park, although not to the general public, and industry watchers expect vehicle test rides to start next month.
“It certainly seems like team-member previews are imminent, because they’re doing mock dinner services at some of the restaurants,” Stella said.
Annual pass it on
Florida residents currently can purchase annual passes online that are valid for Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure for $530 with an option to add Volcano Bay for an extra $110. (The resort has an additional $100 discount on this figure for Floridians.)
Universal has not shared details about future annual passes and if they would include access to Epic Universe.
“Is it going to be an add-on, kind of like Volcano Bay?” White said. “Does every single pass skyrocket as soon as they decide to add it?”
Tech talk
Officials and promotional materials have touted Epic as being technologically advanced. Several customer-facing bits of tech, including animatronics, robotic drones, facial recognition and ride systems have been mentioned.
“I think it runs the gamut, but I think it starts with the guest experience of what they’re going to see and how they’re going to be brought into the immersion,” said Dennis Speigel, CEO and founder of International Theme Park Services.
Super Nintendo World will include an interactive feature using a Power-Up Band wearable device to unlock additional content.
“I think technological advancement is going to be very important to the guests,” Speigel said.
Meal motifs
Restaurants will be heavily themed within Epic Universe. Among the eateries will be Mead Hall, a viking-driven establishment in Isle of Berk, and Das Stakehaus, which will be run by servants of vampires, the story goes, in Dark Universe. Toadstool Cafe in Super Nintendo World will lean into its mushroom theme with ingredients and decor.
And, yes, butterbeer will be sold in the Wizarding World, just as it is in the installments at Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios.
Hot new hotels
Three hotels are planned for the Epic area. Stella Nova opened last month, and Terra Luna opens next month. They are close to the theme park, but not as close as the Grand Helios, which will have a dedicated entrance into Epic Universe, not to mention an exclusive view and a rooftop bar.
White, who stayed at Stella Nova recently, timed the bus ride to CityWalk and Universal’s other parks at 14 minutes.
“I basically compared that to going from staying at one of the hotels at the Magic Kingdom and riding over to Animal Kingdom,” he said.
Getting there
A multimillion-dollar extension of Kirkman Road from Carrier Drive down to the Epic site, plus an elevated traffic circle with dedicated bus lanes for the resort, were designed to help with traffic woes around the populated tourist corridor.
But our experts expect roadway snarls.
“I still think Universal Boulevard is going to be like, you know, 20% busier than it has been, and it’s already pretty bad during certain days,” Stella said.
“I feel like that’s one of those things,” White said. “I mean, it just gets added on to Orlando. We just have traffic issues.”
And the rest
Even an Epic Universe overview can be overwhelming. There are additional rides to explore, stage shows to absorb, multiple themed restaurants and their menus to experience. There are unknown details surrounding Express and early access for hotel guests.
And what about fireworks?
“How do you put fireworks in every single promotional ad for this theme park and not announce a firework show?” Stella said. “That’s a question I have, and it’s driving me crazy.”
Epic’s debut is just 100 days away, but there will be 100,000 questions. Time — and Universal — will tell.
One more: Will it be ready?
Speigel said he’s talked with manufacturers and installers, and none have expressed doubt. That’s rare, he said. And there’s the swagger factor.
“I’ve never seen a park open with such fanfare this far in advance of that readiness and showing the pictures and providing the information that they have,” he said.
“I just think that’s a very bold statement on their part, which leads me to believe, from what I see … that they are going to be ready.”
Get ready for an epic adventure because the Universal Epic Universe theme park is just 100 days away from opening its gates!
Featuring thrilling rides, immersive lands, and beloved characters from iconic Universal Studios franchises, this new theme park is sure to be a hit with fans of all ages. From exploring the wizarding world of Harry Potter to battling dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, there’s something for everyone at Universal Epic Universe.
So mark your calendars and start counting down the days until you can experience the magic and excitement of Universal Epic Universe for yourself. With only 100 days left until opening day, the countdown is officially on!

It’s now Saturday, so why isn’t Pete Alonso a Met yet, Boomer?
Boomer Esiason, the WFAN radio host, confidently claimed Thursday that Alonso and the Mets would finally reunite on Friday, which would end a months-long free agency battle between the two sides.
“I’m feeling like Pete is a Met tomorrow,” the former Jets quarterback wrote on X on Thursday.
Friday has passed, however, and Alonso still remains unsigned.
“I’m thinking today is the day, and I’m thinking it’s probably gonna happen at 10:05. I just wanted to get out in front of it,” Esiason said.
Boomer Esiason stood by his prediction of Pete Alonso’s Mets return on Friday. WFAN/X
“As a diehard Met fan myself, I want the guy at first base, I want him in the lineup,” he continued. “Steve Cohen has done a lot of great things for us since he’s taken over ownership of the team and this would be another one.”
When met with pushback from the other members of his show, Esiason backtracked, in an attempt to cover himself in case his prediction went south.
“Everybody, just pump the breaks for five seconds. I put it out there, I will stand by it, and if it doesn’t happen, you can call me a jackass,” he said. “I want a full team and I want him on this team. I’m telling you, this would be like Saquon Barkley leaving the Giants.”
Esiason first mentioned his prediction on X Thursday. WireImage
In mid-January, the Mets offered the four-time All-Star a three-year contract in the $68 million-$70 million range, according to The Post’s Joel Sherman.
Alonso’s camp rejected that offer, rebutting with a three-year deal with much higher average annual values, Sherman reported.

Current team president David Stearns has been reluctant in the past to offer large contracts to players in their 30s, and it appears that Alonso is no exception.
Time will tell if Esiason just jumped the gun or just completely fumbled in his prediction.
Former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason recently made a bold prediction about New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso, and it has turned out to be an epic dud. Esiason claimed that Alonso would hit 60 home runs this season, but as the season comes to a close, Alonso has only hit 30 home runs so far.
While Alonso has had a solid season, hitting 30 home runs is still an impressive feat, it falls far short of Esiason’s lofty prediction. This just goes to show that even the most knowledgeable sports analysts can sometimes miss the mark when it comes to making predictions.
It’s always fun to make bold predictions in sports, but sometimes they just don’t pan out. In this case, Esiason’s prediction about Alonso’s home run total turned out to be way off the mark. Better luck next time, Boomer!

Kevin Durant is such a perfect model of a pure scorer that he might belong in a museum.
Just ask former teammate Kyrie Irvig.
“He’s that guy that you see almost like a monument in a science museum of just like, what does a great scorer look like?” Irving said in a Friday piece by ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. “Seven feet, able to handle the ball, able to shoot over anybody, but also a fierce competitor.”
It’s hard to argue with Irving’s assessment.
Durant entered the league scoring as the 2007-08 Rookie of the Year and hasn’t looked back since. He is still putting up astonishing numbers at the age of 36 and enters Friday’s game against the Golden State Warriors averaging 27.3 points a night.
That means it should only take him three or four more games to score the 94 points he needs to become just the eighth player in NBA history to score 30,000 career points. He will join legendary names such as Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain and Kobe Bryant when he does so.
Only Jordan (10) and Chamberlain (seven) have more scoring titles than Durant’s four, and MacMahon noted he, Larry Bird and Steve Nash are the only players in league history with multiple 50/40/90 shooting-split seasons.
That’s not bad company to keep.
As Irving described, Durant is a scoring machine who can find the basket a variety of ways. He remains unstoppable even at this stage of his career and has been a bright spot for a Suns team that is battling through inconsistency with a 24-22 record that has them in ninth place in the Western Conference standings.
But they will be a threat to any opponent in the playoffs as long as Durant is on the floor.
In a recent interview, Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving had high praise for his teammate Kevin Durant, likening him to “a monument in a science museum” when it comes to his epic scoring ability.
Irving, who has been playing alongside Durant this season, expressed his admiration for the way Durant dominates on the court with his scoring prowess. “Kevin is like a monument in a science museum, just towering over everything and leaving everyone in awe,” Irving said.
Durant, who is known for his scoring prowess and ability to take over games, has been putting up impressive numbers this season. His combination of size, skill, and shooting touch makes him a truly unique talent in the NBA.
Fans and analysts alike have been marveling at Durant’s performances, with many considering him a frontrunner for the MVP award this season. With Irving also playing at an elite level, the Nets are shaping up to be a serious contender in the Eastern Conference.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Durant and Irving as they look to lead the Nets to a deep playoff run. With their chemistry on and off the court, the duo has the potential to be one of the most dynamic tandems in the league.
Stay tuned for more updates on Durant, Irving, and the Brooklyn Nets as they continue their quest for an NBA championship.

Love Island viewers have predicted movie night could end in an epic meltdown after Curtis Pritchard spent a night in the hideaway with bombshell Danielle Sellers.
Curtis, 28, has been romancing Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, 30, throughout the second series of Love Island: All Stars, with them both claiming they are ‘closed off’ to each other.
However, fans have insisted Curtis did not given the impression of a taken man when he was whisked off on a date with Danielle, who picked him upon her villa arrival.
While Curtis said he was ‘closed off’ to Ekin-Su, he followed it up by insisting he ‘barely knew’ her – as viewers begged for the moment to be shown on movie night.
Movie night reveals private moments between Islanders to the rest of the cast and typically results in tension and rows when hidden secrets are revealed.
Viewers have forecast that Ekin-Su will create a scene of colossal proportions, which they likened to a memorable moment between Curtis and his ex Amy Hart during season five of the show.

Curtis, 28, has been romancing Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, 30, throughout the second series of Love Island: All Stars , with them both claiming they are ‘closed off’ to each other
They claimed that Curtis ‘hasn’t changed’ as he seemingly did a 180 on Ekin-Su, in the same way that he previously did to Amy during their series.
After both returning from the Casa Amor twist, Curtis and Amy had a discussion where he revealed his head had been turned by model Jourdan Riane.
Curtis famously left Amy reeling when she discovered that ahead of recoupling with her, he he’d shown an interest in pursuing Jourdan who he met in Casa Amor, with a devastated Amy informing him that she was gearing up to confess her love to him.
Following the breakdown of their romance, Amy decided to leave the villa and quit the show to escape watching Curtis and Maura Higgins‘ relationship blossom.
Sharing their thoughts on Curtis’ antics on Wednesday’s episode, they said: ‘All it took was one woman for Curtis’ head to turn. He hasn’t changed! What’; ‘I don’t really know the girl – Movie Night is going to finisshhhhh Curtis’;
‘Roll the rapes, bring on movie night Ekin needs to see what Curtis really said #LoveIsland’; ‘F*** Curtis’; ‘Oh look, it’s Curtis being Curtis *pretends to be shocked*’; ‘Curtis gets the slightest attention from the opposite gender and runs with it #LoveIsland’;
‘Ekin is going down the Amy route I fear’; ‘This is the Curtis I recognise’; ‘The way Curtis has gaslight Ekin, this is exactly what he did to Amy!!’; ‘Sorry did I just hear Curtis say “I don’t even know the girl” to Danielle about Ekin??’; ‘Curti is actually the villian in this scenario’;
‘I was rooting for this Curtis! He want Ekin to spiral so he can move on to the new girl without being the guy bad’; ‘Curtis has been a f*** boy idk why y’all are surprised’.

Series 10 contestant Sammy also stars on TOWIE and is looking forward to ruffling feathers with his villa entrance.
Sammy bagged the cash prize after winning the series alongside Jess Harding but called off their romance soon after they returned home.
Speaking about his fresh chance at love, Sammy explained: ‘It did work out for me the first time, but things changed when I left the Villa. Hopefully this time round, I’ll leave with a relationship that goes the distance.
‘Last time I was very much a boy and was immature at times in terms of not thinking about my actions beforehand.’
He continued: ‘Now looking back, I feel like I’ve changed a lot and I’d like to think I’ve grown from a boy to a gentleman.’
Danielle, who appeared in series three, is looking to find the man of her dreams as she returns.
After appearing on the show as a bombshell in Casa Amor last time, Danielle is hoping she finds more luck this time round.
She said: ‘I was a lot younger going in the first time, I was 21! I entered during Casa Amor and lots of the boys were in strong couples! 8 years on, I’m older and know what I want, so I’m going to just go for it!’
Love Island: All Stars continues on ITV2 and ITVX at 9:00pm.
Because it’s the trenches out there! I feel like I have all my ducks in a row, it has been 8 years since I went into the Villa. I now run my businesses and I’ve grown up a lot… but I just haven’t found ‘the one’ yet.

A Fox News panel gushed at the idea of Donald Trump being added to Mt. Rushmore just a week into his second term.
The topic, which has again been floated in conservative circles in recent days, was praised as an “epic” idea by the panel of Outnumbered on Monday afternoon.
The former Republican lawmaker Jason Chaffetz was among those in favor.
“Hey, if there’s room up there I think it’d be great,” he said. “I think what Donald Trump has done—and is in the process of doing—is transforming the United States of America and putting America first. And I think America loves it, and I think there’s a great case for it.”
Trump’s former press secretary Kayleigh McEnany agreed.
“I’m fascinated by this because that would be some sweet irony after President Joe Biden stopped the fireworks display from Mount Rushmore. So if you did like the 250th anniversary of the country at Mount Rushmore with President Trump’s face, it would be epic,” she said.
Graphic aired by Fox News on Monday afternoon. / Fox News
McEnany indicated Trump should not stop at having his face chiseled next to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in the Black Hills of South Dakota. She wants Dulles International Airport—serving the nation’s capital out of Virginia—to be named after him, too.
“So you have Trump and you have Reagan in DCA,” she said, referring to the name of Washington’s other airport. “Wouldn’t that be something special for the swamp?”
The only commentator who opposed Trump’s face being emblazoned on Mt. Rushmore was Emily Compagno, who said she outright disagrees with the practice in general.
“I hate that we chiseled humans’ faces into the mountains,” she said.
Compagno said she would rather see Trump’s face on some sort of currency. She also indicated she would be in favor of the DC area’s largest airport being named after Trump instead of John Foster Dulles, an influential Secretary of State in the Cold War.
Lisa Boothe chimed into to make it three on the panel in favor of a hypothetical Donald Trump International Airport.

“I do fully support changing Dulles airport after President Trump,” she said. “It also makes a lot of sense because you have Reagan here in D.C. with DCA, and there’s a lot of parallels between the two presidents of inheriting terrible economies, instability around the world, and then building off of that, fixing those problems, and then going on to tons of success.”
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was not named as such until 1998, nearly a decade after the Republican president left office. Still, some in the MAGA world are intent on having the 78-year-old Trump honored while he’s still president.
Count Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican from Florida, among that crowd. She claimed in a post to X on Friday she was “actually filing legislation as we speak” about getting Trump added to Mt. Rushmore.
Fox News Panel Raves Over ‘Epic’ Idea of Adding Trump to Mount Rushmore
During a recent segment on Fox News, a panel of commentators couldn’t contain their excitement over the idea of adding former President Donald Trump to Mount Rushmore. The suggestion came after South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem revealed that Trump had expressed interest in being added to the iconic monument.
The panelists gushed over the prospect, calling it an “epic” and “historic” move that would honor Trump’s accomplishments as president. They praised his economic policies, foreign relations efforts, and handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While some critics have dismissed the idea as purely symbolic and politically motivated, the Fox News panel argued that Trump’s presidency was a pivotal moment in American history that deserves recognition on Mount Rushmore.
As the debate over Trump’s legacy continues, it seems that his supporters are eager to see him immortalized alongside the likes of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Only time will tell if this “epic” idea becomes a reality.

The first trailer for Zero Day, starring Robert De Niro, has arrived – and it looks like an epic political thriller.
In the brief clip, which can be viewed below, De Niro plays former U.S. President George Mullen who is tasked by the current U.S. president (Angela Bassett) with finding the perpetrators of a devastating cyber attack that killed over 3,000 people.
It’s far from easy, especially given that the public seems to view him as an enemy – not to mention the fact that another attack could happen at any given moment. “If the public finds out how deep this really is,” Bassett says, “I don’t think we really survive that.”
Per the official synopsis, “As disinformation runs rampant and the personal ambition of power brokers in technology, Wall Street, and government collide, Mullen’s unwavering search for the truth forces him to confront his own dark secrets while risking all he holds dear.”
The series is co-created and co-written by Eric Newman, who served as the showrunner of the Netflix series Narcos and its spin-off Narcos: Mexico. The cast includes Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan, Connie Britton, Joan Allen, Bill Camp, Dan Stevens, McKinley Belcher III, Matthew Modine, Clark Gregg, and Gaby Hoffman. Zero Day also marks De Niro’s second-ever television role as a series regular, with the first being the Argentine limited series Nada, which aired exclusively on Disney Plus.
All six episodes of Zero Day are set to hit Netflix on February 20. For more, check out our list of the best Netflix shows and the best Netflix movies to stream right now.
Legendary actor Robert De Niro is making his comeback to the small screen in a big way with his new Netflix thriller series, “Mission: Save the World.” In the first trailer released today, we see De Niro in the role of a former president who is on a mission to save the world from a global threat.
From the mind of acclaimed Narcos showrunner, this epic new series promises to be a thrilling ride filled with action, suspense, and political intrigue. De Niro’s character is a man of power and influence, but he is also a man with a dark past and a personal vendetta that drives him to take on this dangerous mission.
As the trailer unfolds, we see De Niro’s character assembling a team of skilled operatives and navigating through a web of conspiracy and deception to uncover the truth behind the impending catastrophe. With his signature intensity and gravitas, De Niro brings a commanding presence to the screen, promising a performance that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
“Mission: Save the World” is set to be a must-watch series for fans of political thrillers and action-packed dramas. Stay tuned for its premiere on Netflix and get ready to join De Niro on his mission to save the world.

“The Brutalist” partial poster featuring Adrien Brody.
A24
The Brutalist—Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones’ award-winning historical epic from director Brady Corbet is playing in theaters. When can viewers expect to stream it at home?
Rated R, The Brutalist—which runs 3 hours and 34 minutes with an intermission—opened in theaters on Dec. 20 to qualify for awards consideration for films released in 2024.
The logline for The Brutalist reads, “When a visionary architect and his wife flee post-war Europe in 1947 to rebuild their legacy and witness the birth of modern United States, their lives are changed forever by a mysterious, wealthy client.”
Brody stars as László Toth, a Hungarian Jewish visionary of Brutalist architecture who survives the Holocaust and emigrates to America to begin his new life. The Brutalist also stars Felicity Jones as László’s life, Erzsébet (Felicity Jones), Alessandro Nivola as László’s cousin, Attila, and Guy Pearce as Harrison Lee Van Buren a wealthy industrialist who employs the architect.
Right now, the only way you can see The Brutalist is in theaters, so check local listings for showtimes. Following the film’s awards-qualifying opening before expanding to 68 North American theaters on Jan. 10 and 338 theaters on Jan. 17. The Brutalist will expand to theaters nationwide on Friday.
When The Brutalist comes to the home entertainment market, its first stop will be digital video via premium video on demand.
While some studios take a wait-and-see approach to see how their films perform in theaters before coming to PVOD, others like The Brutalist’s studio A24 have more of a set pattern, which is about a month after its films open in theaters.
For example, A24’s horror thriller Heretic—starring Hugh Grant—opened in theaters on Nov. 8, 2024. On Dec. 10, just over a month later, Heretic became available for purchase or rental on PVOD.
Additionally, A24’s romantic drama We Live in Time, which expanded to theaters nationwide on Oct. 25, 2024, after opening in limited release on Oct. 11, arrived on PVOD on Nov. 29.
Since A24’s films have about a one-month window from when they open wide in theaters, viewers can expect The Brutalist to debut on PVOD sometime around Tuesday, Feb. 25, or Friday, Feb. 28, since new films typically debut on digital streaming on Tuesdays or Fridays.
Once The Brutalist arrives on PVOD, viewers will have the option to digitally purchase or rent the film on a variety of platforms, including Prime Video, AppleTV and Fandango at Home.
New PVOD purchase prices typically run anywhere from $19.99 to $29.99, while 48-hour rentals generally run from $14.99 to $24.99.
Which Streaming Service Will Get ‘The Brutalist’ First?
Since Max has a deal with A24 to stream the studio’s films first when they arrive on streaming video on demand, Max will be the first streaming platform to offer The Brutalist.
Like it does with its PVOD releases, A24 tends to have a standard window between the time the studio’s films open in theaters to the time the films arrive on Max—which is in the three- to four-month range.
For example, A24’s summer horror hit MaXXXine opened in theaters on July 5 and arrived debuted on Max 98 days later on Oct. 18. More recently, We Live in Time, which opened wide in theaters on Oct. 25, is set to arrive on Max on Feb. 7, 105 days after its theatrical release.
If The Brutalist follows the same three- to four-month theatrical opening to Max release pattern, viewers can expect the film to arrive on the streaming service anytime between April 25 to May 23, since new A24 films released on Max tend to debut on Fridays.
The Brutalist has been a big contender so far this awards season, winning Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for Adrien Brody and Best Director for Brady Corbet.
In addition, the Oscar hopeful was nominated for Best Picture by the Producers Guild of America and earned Corbet a nomination for Best Director by the Directors Guild of America. In addition, Brody was nominated for Outstanding Male Actor in a Motion Picture by the SAG Awards.
The Brutalist is also up for nine Critics Choice Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director for Corbet, Best Actor for Brody and Best Supporting Actor for Guy Pearce.
