Is ‘Megalopolis’ Streaming on Netflix or HBO Max?

Francis Ford Coppola’s self-financed sci-fi epic, Megalopolis , is finally coming to theaters this weekend. It’s been a long journey for this film, which parallels the fall of the Roman Empire to the imagined fall of the U.S empire. Coppola has been trying to get the film made since 1989, but, thanks to financial obstacles, never got it off the ground—until now.

The sprawling Megalopolis cast includes Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Talia Shire, Jason Schwartzman, Kathryn Hunter, Grace VanderWaal, Chloe Fineman, James Remar, D. B. Sweeney, and Dustin Hoffman. The movie premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, where it polarized critics—though not quite as much as the trailer that was scrapped for fabricating pull quotes from critics would have you believe.

Megalopolis is not streaming on Netflix or Max, and likely will not be on Netflix or Max any time soon, due to the fact that the film is a Lionsgate release, and will likely stream on Starz, the streaming platform owned by Lionsgate, instead. If you want to watch Megalopolis movie at home, you’ll have to wait for the film to be available to buy or rent on digital platforms, or wait for it to stream on Starz .

Megalopolis is not yet streaming on Starz. You can expect to see Megalopolis on Starz eventually because that is the streaming platform owned by Lionsgate. Another Lionsgate film, The Strangers: Chapter 1 , was released on “premium” video-on-demand after three weeks in theaters, and is expected to stream on Starz on September 30, about four and a half months after the movie opened in the theaters.

If the Megalopolis movie follows the same release pattern, you can expect to see the movie on Starz in about four and a half months, which would be around January or February 2025.

That said, Starz and Lionsgate are expected to split up before the end of 2024, so it’s possible that Megalopolis will end up on a different streamer. We’ll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, you can always watch Megalopolis on the big screen.
