2024's The Crow has an exclusive theatrical release starting on August 23, 2024 courtesy of Lionsgate handling distribution. The movie was originally scheduled for a June 2024 release date, but the studio opted to push the debut back over two months. This moved The Crow away from greater competition and opened up the ability for it to receive IMAX showtimes too. For anyone who wants to see The Crow as early as possible, attending a theatrical showtime is the best move.

When Will The Crow Release On Streaming?

The Crow Will Stream On Starz

Lionsgate has yet to announce when The Crow's streaming release date will be, but the movie is expected to debut on Starz at the appropriate time. Those waiting until it comes to the streaming service to watch the comic adaptation will have a long wait based on Lionsgate's history. The studio typically waits 180 days after a film's theatrical release to move it to Starz. This would mean that The Crow's streaming release will happen in February 2025 if the same pattern holds, so audiences will have to be patient to watch The Crow on streaming.

When Will The Crow Release On Digital?

No Date Has Been Confirmed

The first opportunity to watch The Crow at home will come with its digital release, but Lionsgate has not announced when that will happen. The studio typically makes the movie available for rent or purchase on all major PVOD services within a month of a film's release. It can be as quick as 18 days if the title does not find an audience at the box office. For a movie like this, The Crow could release on digital in September 2024. It would need to be a sizable hit for Lionsgate to delay The Crow's digital release date much further.
