Juror #2 can finally be streamed at home after its very limited theatrical release. Juror #2 is the latest and possibly final movie directed by Clint Eastwood, and currently has an impressive score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes (via Rotten Tomatoes). The story of Juror #2 follows Justin, who is on the jury of a high-profile murder case but quickly begins to think that he was actually the one who committed the murder. The cast of Juror #2 includes Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, J.K. Simmons, Zoey Deutch, and Chris Messina.

Throughout Juror #2, Justin becomes increasingly convinced that he accidently murdered the victim. However, he is also about to be a father. This presents him (and the audience) with a complex moral dilemma that has led to a slew of positive reviews for Juror #2. In addition to the movie's intriguing premise, Juror #2 could also be Eastwood's last movie. While it has not been officially confirmed to be his final film, the possibility that Juror #2 could be Eastwood's final directorial effort makes it a must-watch.

Juror No. 2 Is Now Streaming On Max After Its Minimal Theatrical Release

Juror #2 Can Finally Be Watched At Home

After initially releasing in theaters on October 30, 2024, Juror #2 is now available to stream on Max. This should be great news for fans of Clint Eastwood and those interested in the film, since Juror #2 did not receive a wide theatrical release. Therefore, many moviegoers were not able to watch Juror #2 in theaters since it was not playing anywhere near them. Now that the film is finally streaming, viewers can experience Justin's moral struggle as he balances his desire to be a father with his civic duties in Juror #2.

Why Juror No. 2 Wasn't Given A Full Theatrical Release Despite Great Reviews

Juror #2 Had A Very Limited Theatrical Release

Despite Juror #2's unique premise and the hype around what is potentially Eastwood's final film, Warner Bros. decided to only release the movie in 50 theaters in its domestic debut. This was a shocking decision, as Juror #2 had a budget of $30 million and could have been a major awards contender. By not giving it a wide release, Warner Bros. essentially guaranteed that Juror #2 would not be profitable in cinemas.

Juror #2's Release Plan Is Confusing 6 Years After Clint Eastwood's $173 Million Box Office Hit

Juror #2 is the newest movie from director Clint Eastwood, and while the film has gotten a strange release plan, it could have been a hit.

Juror #2's limited theatrical release suggests that Warner Bros. was not very confident in the film, which is surprising since almost all reviews for the movie have been overwhelmingly positive. Additionally, despite its limited release, Juror #2 has performed quite well at the box office. Therefore, it likely would have been a profitable movie if it was released in more theaters. Juror #2's strange release strategy was disappointing for fans all over the world, but at least it is now available to stream on Max.
