How to watch 'John Wick: Chapter 4'
"John Wick: Chapter 4" is now available to watch only in theaters, so you won't be able to rent or stream the flick at home just yet.
In addition to standard showings, "John Wick: Chapter 4" is playing in IMAX and Dolby Cinema for premium prices. You can buy tickets to see "John Wick: Chapter 4" at local or national theater chains like AMC, Regal, or Cinemark directly from their platforms or through third-party vendors like Atom Tickets, Fandango, and MovieTickets.com.
When will 'John Wick: Chapter 4' be available to stream?
Lionsgate has yet to announce an official streaming release date for "John Wick: Chapter 4." However, the movie is expected to debut on Starz ($9/month) once it becomes available for subscription streaming.
Unlike Disney or Universal movies, Lionsgate films don't typically arrive for streaming until several months after their theatrical releases. For example, Lionsgate's "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" hit Starz six months after it premiered in theaters. As such, "John Wick: Chapter 4" may not drop on Starz until late September.
After its exclusive streaming window on Starz, "John Wick: Chapter 4" will hit Peacock due to a licensing deal Lionsgate struck with the subscription service. However, this likely won't occur until early 2024.
While it may take a while for "John Wick: Chapter 4" to make its subscription streaming debut, the film could become available to rent or buy as early as May. Other recent Lionsgate movies, like "Alice Darling" and "Plane," became available to order on-demand at home within six weeks of their theatrical releases.
Is 'John Wick 4' the last in the series?
"John Wick: Chapter 4" will not be the last movie in the franchise. While another sequel has yet to be given the official greenlight, a fifth entry in the series is being developed.
In addition, a spinoff movie titled "Ballerina" is already in postproduction. "Ballerina" stars Ana de Armas. A prequel TV show, called "The Continental," is being developed as well. "The Continental" is set to hit Peacock later this year.
