When Will The Expendables 4 Release On Streaming?

The Expendables return for a fourth movie getting a theatrical release, but here is when The Expendables 4 will release on streaming. Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham’s action franchise is back for the first time in nearly a decade, as The Expendables 3 was thought to be the final installment of the series. Audiences have instead received a fourth Expendables movie centered around Stallone’s Barney Ross and Statham’s Lee Christmas. The Expendables 4 is only happening because the franchise has long been successful at the box office, with a return to an R-rating further fueling excitement.

While audiences will first have the opportunity to see The Expendables 4 in theaters, it will only be a matter of time before it becomes available to watch at home. The movie is a Lionsgate production directed by Scott Waugh is expected to be a box office hit after The Expendables 4‘s cast expanded to include Megan Fox, 50 Cent, Iko Uwais, and others. The success of the new movie will only partially be determined by the box office now, as streaming and Digital releases have become more important for movies in recent years. Here’s what is known about The Expendables 4‘s streaming release date.

The Expendables 4 Will Likely Release On Streaming In March 2024

As a Lionsgate movie, audiences will have to wait a long time until The Expendables 4 releases on streaming. The studio does not have its own streaming service but sends all of its new movies to Starz and then Peacock at a later date. Despite most rival studios rushing movies to streaming services between 45 and 90 days after the theatrical release, Lionsgate has been consistent about waiting six months to do so. John Wick: Chapter 4 was finally released on streaming the week before The Expendables 4 debuts in theaters despite originally being released in theaters in March 2023.

A similar wait should be in store for Lionsgate’s other R-rated action franchise. Given The Expendables 4‘s theatrical release date of September 22, 2023, a six-month wait would mean a March 2024 streaming debut. This will give the movie plenty of time to be exclusively available in theaters and hopefully add hundreds of millions of dollars to the franchise’s box office total. Those wanting to watch The Expendables 4 on Starz in March 2024 will need a subscription or wait until it moves to Peacock later on. This is different from where The Expendables 1-3 are streaming.

The Expendables 4 Will Likely Release On Digital In November 2023

The good news for those who want to watch The Expendables 4 at home is that its Digital release will give them a much earlier option. Lionsgate released John Wick 4 on Digital only two months after its theatrical debut, so it can be expected that the studio will follow a similar schedule for Stallone and Statham’s movie. This would mean that viewers can buy or rent The Expendables 4 digitally sometime in November 2023. That would make the Digital release the better option for people who want to watch The Expendables 4 at home but not wait for the streaming release date.
