Where To Watch Bird: Showtimes & Streaming Status

1 week ago 6

Andrea Arnold's 2024 drama marks Barry Keoghan's return after Saltburn, and there are options for where to watch Bird and see his latest work. The pairing of Andrea Arnold and Barry Keoghan made Bird an incredibly exciting project upon the announcement, especially considering the actor exited Gladiator II to take on the dramatic indie instead. Arnold is an Oscar winner who consistently delivers critically acclaimed work, and Bird's reviews early on continued that trend with its positive reception after debuting at the Cannes Film Festival.

Bird's debut at Cannes led to Mubi acquiring the film's distribution rights and plotting a plan for general audiences to see the movie. The biggest decision was whether to put the film directly on streaming and hope Keoghan's breakout from Saltburn would carry over or push the film into theaters so Arnold's drama could possibly gain some Oscars recognition down the road. Either option could make sense for a small, personal drama like Bird, and the decision for how to release it gives audiences a choice regarding when and where to watch it.

MUBI gave Bird a theatrical release starting on November 8, 2024. However, the film is only releasing in theaters in a limited capacity at this time. That means that it may be difficult to find showtimes for Bird at local cinemas depending on where someone lives. Major cities like Los Angeles and New York will be part of the limited theatrical release. It's unclear if or when Bird's theatrical release will expand to give more audiences a chance to see it on the big screen.

When Will Bird Release On Streaming?

Bird Should Stream On Mubi

Thanks to Mubi's involvement in Bird's release, it is expected that the movie will be released on Mubi.com at the appropriate time. The studio has not officially announced a release date for the film's streaming debut, though. Based on previous releases, Bird could release on the streaming site after about a month. That's the gap the studio used for The Substance's streaming release, as it debuted after 41 days. This would indicate Bird could be released on Mubi.com in December 2024 if the same schedule is used.

When Will Bird Release On Digital?

No Release Date Is Confirmed

As for when Bird will be available to watch at home on digital, this has not been confirmed. A film's debut on PVOD services for rent or purchase would typically come before its streaming release, but Mubi opted for a simultaneous release with The Substance. It's possible that the same-day streaming and digital release plan is what happens with Arnold and Keoghan's film. That would mean Bird's digital release could come in December 2024 too. If not, the studio could look at quicker VOD release options so audiences can see Bird sooner than later.
