Now, it’s time to answer your burning question about whetherThe Expendables 4is streaming right now.
Is The Expendables 4 streaming?
No, not yet. Lionsgate doesn’t tend to do day-and-date streaming and theatrical releases. Plus,The Expendables 4is the kind of action flick that’s going to play better on the big screen. And considering that there was a gap of nine years betweenThe Expendables 3andThe Expendables 4, this sequel needs to do really well if there’s ever going to be anExpendables 5. This movie was Stallone’s way of passing the torch to Statham, but none of these guys are getting any younger. There’s only so long that they can keep playing action heroes.
Additionally, September is traditionally a weak month for movies.The Expendables 4is projected to take home $15 million to $17 million this weekend, which might be enough to take the top spot at the box office. Next week, the competition gets more intense whenSaw XandThe Creatorarrive in theaters as well.
Will The Expendables 4 be available to stream at home?
Yes, eventually. But don’t hold your breath. Because Lionsgate still owns the cable channel Starz, the studio’s theatrical films tend to go to Starz before streaming anywhere else. As an example, Lionsgate’sJohn Wick: Chapter 4is currently only available to view or stream on Starz unless you’re willing to pay more to rent or buy it from digital outlets.The Expendables 4will likely follow a similar timeframe, and the soonest that you’re able to find this film on a streamer other than Starz will be in mid-to-late 2024 at the earliest.
