Francis Ford Coppola’s long-awaited sci-fi epic is here, and there are options for where to watch Megalopolis. The director behind some of the best movies in history spent decades attempting to get Megalopolis made. The film was finally released in 2024 after years of development, delays, and controversies. Adam Driver headlines Megalopolis‘ cast as Cesar Catilina, an architect who can stop time and is concerned about the direction of the world. And with Francis Ford Coppola’s bold vision for the epic passion project, interest in seeing the movie is understandable.
The path to getting the divisively reviewed Megalopolis released in 2024 was not easy, as Coppola financed the film himself without the backing of a major studio or distributor. It was only much later on during the film’s post-production process that Lionsgate became a partner for the director and became the film’s domestic distributor. That helped guarantee audiences a chance to watch Megalopolis in theaters, just like some of the best Francis Ford Coppola movies.

When Will Megalopolis Release On Streaming?
Megalopolis Should Stream On Starz
Lionsgate has yet to confirm any details about Megalopolis‘ streaming release date. However, the movie should stream on Starz if the studio’s distribution deal also includes its streaming rights. In that case, it will be quite some time before Megalopolis releases on streaming, as Lionsgate has an average gap of around 160 days between theatrical and streaming releases. That would mean that Megalopolis may not be released on streaming until March 2025 if the same trend continues.
When Will Megalopolis Release On Digital?
No Release Date Has Been Announced
There has been no announcement made for when Megalopolis will release on digital. However, it should become available to buy or rent on all major PVOD platforms within a reasonable amount of time. This will be the first option for an at-home viewing of Francis Ford Coppola’s movie. Based on Lionsgate’s history, Megalopolis could release on digital in October 2024 since the studio typically moves new releases to PVOD within a month. That could shift depending on Megalopolis‘ performance at the box office.
