Nobody 2 — the sequel to Bob Odenkirk’s 2021 hit crime comedy Nobody — is new in theaters. When is the film coming to streaming?
Directed by Timo Tjahjanto and written by Derek Kolstand (John Wick), Nobody 2 opens in theaters nationwide on Friday. Rated R, Nobody 2 is set four years after the first film. Odenkirk (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) stars as Hutch Mansell, who, after taking on the Russian mob and burning $30 million of the organization’s cash, is indebted to another criminal organization to pay the money back by going on one hit job after the next.
The official summary for Nobody 2 reads, “Much as he likes the slam-bang action of his ‘job,’ Hutch and his wife Becca (Connie Nielsen) find themselves overworked and drifting apart. So, they decide to take their kids (Gage Munroe, Paisley Cadorath) on a short getaway to the one and only place where Hutch and his brother Harry (RZA) went on a vacation as kids.
With Hutch’s dad (Christopher Lloyd) in tow, the family arrives in the small tourist town of Plummerville, eager for some fun in the sun. But when a minor encounter with some town bullies yanks the family into the crosshairs of a corrupt theme-park operator (John Ortiz) and his shady sheriff (Colin Hanks), Hutch finds himself the focus of the most unhinged, blood-thirsty crime boss he (or anyone) has ever encountered (Sharon Stone).”
Right now, the only place you can see Nobody 2 is in theaters, so check your local listings for showtimes.
Once Nobody 2 comes to the home entertainment marketplace, the first place it will be available will be on digital streaming via premium video on demand. Generally, Universal Pictures films debut on PVOD anywhere from 18 days to a month after they appear in theaters, with some rare exceptions (Wicked took six weeks to arrive on PVOD).
For example, Universal’s horror movie M3GAN 2.0 arrived on PVOD on July 15, just 18 days after it opened in theaters on June 27.
However, Universal’s summer blockbuster Jurassic World Rebirth debuted on PVOD on Aug. 5, just a month after its release in theaters on July 2. Before that, the studio’s hit live-action version of How to Train Your Dragon arrived on PVOD on July 15, again just over a month after the movie opened in theaters on June 13.
As such, viewers can expect Nobody 2 to debut on PVOD anytime between Sept. 2 and Sept. 16, since new films typically arrive on digital streaming on Tuesdays.
When Nobody 2 comes to PVOD, it will be available to purchase or rent on such streaming platforms as Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Prime Video and YouTube.
Prime Video already has Nobody 2 available for pre-order for $24.99, which is also the film’s purchase price.
Since digital rentals are typically $5 less than purchase prices, viewers can expect to rent Nobody 2 for 48 hours for $19.99.
Which Streaming Service Will Get ‘Nobody 2’ First?
Since Nobody 2 is a Universal Pictures release, it will debut on streaming video on demand on NBC Universal’s Peacock streaming platform.
Generally, there’s a three-to-four-month window between the time a Universal Pictures release opens in theaters and arrives on SVOD on Peacock.
For example, Universal’s Wolf Man debuted on Peacock on April 18, just over three months after the movie opened in theaters on Jan. 17. Also, Drop arrived on Peacock on July 11, three months after it premiered in theaters on April 11.
Wicked, however, arrived on Peacock on March 21, just over four months after the blockbuster movie musical opened in theaters.
In all likelihood, Nobody 2 will arrive on Peacock in about three months, placing the prospective release date sometime around Nov. 14, since new films on the streaming platform arrive on Fridays.
If the film takes the Wicked route, however, that places Nobody 2’s release date sometime around Friday, Nov. 12.
Rated R, Jurassic World Rebirth is new in theaters on Friday.
