From the World of John Wick: Ballerinais the latest feature film in theJohn Wickfranchise. It is the firstJohn Wick-related project since the Prime Video miniseriesThe Continentalin 2023.Ballerinasubs out Keanu Reeves' main protagonist for a female assassin, Eve, played byKnives Outalum and Oscar nominee Ana de Armas. Eve is trained according to the traditions of the Ruska Roma and seeks vengeance for her father’s death. While de Armas will play the main character, Reeves will also return to the screen as John Wick.
Ballerinais a defining moment for theJohn Wickfranchisein that it will prove whether these spinoff films can do well in theaters. The series already has another non-John-led film in the works, directed by and starring Donnie Yen. His returning character, Caine, was introduced inJohn Wick: Chapter 4, so the film will not feature an entirely new character like Eve, but it is still not slated to include John. IfBallerinadoes well, this will be a good sign for theDonnie YenJohn Wickspinoff. Here is everything to know about the movie’s showtimes and streaming status.

When Will Ballerina Release On Streaming?
It May Take A Few Months
WhenBallerinaeventually hits streaming, it will be on Starz. Lionsgate acquired Starz nearly a decade ago in a 2016 deal that cost them $4.4 billion. This duo recently became separate publicly traded companies, but Lionsgate is still expected to release their streaming films on that platform for the time being. Starz is available as its own streaming service and as a premium add-on for existing services like Hulu and Prime Video.Ballerinawill be a big deal release for Starz,as it is a high-profile film.
Based on past data,Ballerinawill likely hit streaming around November.It is important to note, however, that the Lionsgate streaming data has been somewhat inconsistent with how long after theatrical releases they’ve allowed movies to hit streaming. The2024 adaptation ofThe Crow, for example, took 180 days to release on streaming despite its box office flop, whereas this year’sDen of Thieves 2: Panteratook only 69 days. Others have fallen more exactly within the five-month range, such asThe Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which took 152 days. With these averages, a mid-November streaming release seems likely.
When Will Ballerina Release On Digital?
It Will Come Sometime This Summer
Though its streaming release date may still be a few months away,Ballerinawill come to digital far faster. While they take a long time to hit streaming, Lionsgate releases are typically quick to come to digital.Den of Thieves 2did so after only 18 days, and other movies have also fallen into this month or a shorter timeline. However,John Wick: Chapter 4took 60 days between its theatrical and digital releases, leaving more time for theatrical exclusivity. If it goes this route,Ballerinawill not hit digital platforms until August, forcing audiences to wait slightly longer to watch it at home.
