The Exorcist: Believer Digital Release Date Revealed (Less Than 3 Weeks After Theatrical Debut)

The Exorcist: Believer will be available to purchase digitally less than three weeks after the film debuted in theaters. A legacy sequel to The Exorcist, the film centers around single father Victor Fielding, whose daughter, Angela, is possessed by a demon named Lamashtu. Working with another family whose child was possessed, Victor ends up going to Chris MacNeil from the first film in hopes of saving the children.

Now, Variety reports that the movie will be available to purchase digitally on Tuesday, October 24. The film will be available to purchase on Amazon’s Prime Video for $29.99, just 18 days after being released in theaters. This means those looking forward to seeing The Exorcist: Believer‘s scary moments who didn’t see it on the big screen can now watch it at home.

Why The Exorcist: Believer Is Coming To Digital So Soon

One reason the film is coming to digital so early may be because of the negative reception the movie received. The Exorcist: Believer garnered scathing reviews, many citing the lack of impact the movie had compared to the original. It also didn’t bring anything new to the horror genre as the first one had, making it a disappointment compared to its predecessor.

While the film has earned $107.6 million against a $30 million budget as of writing, negative reviews signal that level of success may not translate to its sequels. The movie is just the first in a planned trilogy, with a sequel titled The Exorcist: Deceiver set for release on April 18, 2025. Since it’s been reported creative changes may happen regarding the next entry, it seems the critical response will be crucial in establishing the franchise’s next steps.

Now that the film will soon be out on digital, those who never saw it in theaters can buy it and judge its quality for themselves. However, the general consensus of the movie’s lackluster quality means the next film will be an improvement. Despite these quality issues, it seems fitting The Exorcist: Believer will be available at home just in time for Halloween.
