Director Luca Guadagnino’s sexually charged tennis drama “Challengers” has been a hit during its theatrical release thus far, scoring the filmmaker’s best-ever opening weekend. The movie landed an impressive 89% rating with critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and a B+ from audience polling service CinemaScore. There’s already awards buzz for Guadagnino; stars Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor; and their behind-the-scenes collaborators.
It’s exciting to see an adult drama become a theatrical event alongside large-scale blockbusters, but not everyone who wants to see “Challengers” is going to head out to a theater. Here’s what we know so far about when you can expect to stream “Challengers” at home.
When will 'Challengers' be available to stream?
"Challengers" is scheduled for a digital release on May 17.
That short theatrical window is in line with other Amazon MGM Studios releases. George Clooney’s “The Boys in the Boat,” another adult-focused sports drama, was released on VOD just a few weeks after it opened in theaters in December 2023, while the January action movie “The Beekeeper” made an even quicker transition from theaters to VOD.
It will take a little longer for “Challengers” to arrive on a subscription streaming service, and it could stream first on Amazon-owned MGM Plus before arriving on Prime Video, as was the case for both “The Boys in the Boat” and “The Beekeeper.” Expect “Challengers” on Prime Video and/or MGM Plus sometime this summer.
