Denzel Washington’s “The Equalizer 3”: Streaming, Digital Release, and What Fans Should Expect
Denzel Washington is back, and he’s bringing his signature action-packed style to the big screen once more with “The Equalizer 3.” This latest installment, directed by Antoine Fuqua, promises to be a thrilling conclusion to the revamped franchise based on the 1980s TV series. But for those who can’t catch it in theaters, the question remains: when can they stream or buy it digitally?
The Story Continues in Italy
Denzel Washington reprises his role as Robert McCall, the ex-military man with a penchant for helping those in dire straits. This time, the setting shifts to Italy. McCall, now leading a quieter life, is thrust back into the world of danger when local friends find themselves entangled with the menacing mafia. As he takes on the criminal underworld, fans can expect the same high-octane action and drama that the series is known for.
Adding to the excitement is the reunion of Washington with Dakota Fanning, reminding fans of their dynamic pairing in “Man on Fire.”
When Can You Stream “The Equalizer 3”?
“The most likely outcome is that The Equalizer 3 will release on streaming in early 2024.”
Sony, the studio behind the movie, doesn’t have its streaming platform. Instead, they’ve inked deals with giants like Netflix and Disney. As per the arrangement, Netflix gets the first dibs on streaming rights for Sony movies. This means that fans can likely expect “The Equalizer 3” to drop on Netflix around January 2024, given the movie’s theatrical release in September 2023. However, if the movie proves to be a box office sensation, the streaming date might push to as late as March 2024.
Digital Release: An Earlier Option
For those eager to watch McCall’s latest adventure from the comfort of their homes, there’s good news. Sony is expected to release “The Equalizer 3” on various PVOD services by November 2023. This move is in line with the studio’s usual strategy of waiting about six to eight weeks post the theatrical release for the digital rollout.
In Conclusion
“The Equalizer 3” promises to be a fitting end to a franchise that has thrilled audiences worldwide. Whether you’re catching it in theaters, waiting for the streaming release, or planning to buy it digitally, one thing’s for sure: Denzel Washington’s action-packed performance is not to be missed.
