Focus Features is responsible for putting Conclave in theaters, as the studio gave the film an October 25, 2024 release date. The original plan was for the film to open in a limited capacity on November 1 before expanding wide. It was later decided that a slightly earlier release would benefit the film, which means it opened against Venom: The Last Dance and Your Monster. Since Conclave is a major awards contender, the 2-hour PG thriller targets a different demographic than its competitors.

When Will Conclave Release On Streaming?

Conclave Should Stream On Peacock

Focus Features and FilmNation Entertainment have yet to confirm when Conclave will release on streaming. Since Focus is a branch of NBCUniversal, there is an expectation that Conclave will stream on Peacock at the appropriate time, as that is the streaming service that NBCUniversal owns and operates. The timing of the streaming debut might follow previous Focus and FilmNation productions, like The Outfit - which came to Peacock after one month in theaters. That would mean Conclave could start streaming on Peacock in November 2024, but a December 2024 launch might happen to prolong theatrical exclusivity for the Oscar contender.

When Will Conclave Release On Digital?

No Release Date Has Been Announced

There is no confirmation for Conclave's digital release date at this time. The studios are likely to make the film available to buy or rent on all major PVOD services relatively quickly. It would not be surprising if Conclave releases on digital in November 2024 as the Oscars campaign begins to build. For reference, The Outfit hit VOD just three days before its streaming debut. This might limit the exclusive window it plays in theaters, but re-releases could happen close to the 2025 Oscars. At least this way, Conclave will widen its audience sooner to help create more buzz.
