‘Monkey Man’ Comes to Digital, But When Will ‘Monkey Man’ Be Streaming on Peacock?

After just over two weeks in theaters, Dev Patel’s Monkey Man is coming to video-on-demand.

Directed by Patel—who also stars in the film and co-wrote the screenplay with Paul Angunawela and John Collee—Monkey Man has been dubbed “the Indian John Wick.” Patel stars as the Monkey Man himself, aka a fighter known for wearing a monkey box at an underground boxing club in Mumbai. The Monkey Man gets paid to lose, but after some bad guys try to kill him, he starts fighting to win—and to survive.

Critics liked Monkey Man, and in its two weeks in theaters so far, the movie has earned nearly $23 million at the worldwide box office—not a runaway success, but solid. So is it surprising that Universal pushed the film to digital after just two weeks?

Not really. Although two weeks is on the short side for a theatrical run, most studio films these days are only exclusive to theaters for 45 days or less, and Universal has had a particularly quick turnaround time. Most big Universal movies, including The Exorcist: Believer and Night Swim, hit digital after two weeks in theaters. Monkey Man, apparently, will not be an exception.

Here’s what you should know about how to watch Monkey Man online, and when to expect to see Monkey Man streaming on Peacock.

Monkey Man digital release date:

Beginning on Tuesday, April 23, Monkey Man will be available to buy and rent digitally on Amazon Prime, Google Play, Apple TV, Vudu, and more. The price may vary depending on which platform you use to purchase the film, but on Amazon Prime the film costs $24.99 to buy a digital copy.

How to rent Monkey Man online:

Monkey Man will be available to rent on digital platforms like Amazon Prime, Google Play, Apple TV, Vudu, and more, beginning on April 23. The movie will cost $19.99 to rent, and you’ll have 48 hours to watch the movie after hitting “play.”

When will Monkey Man be streaming on Peacock?

The Monkey Man streaming release date on Peacock has not yet been announced, but we know that Monkey Man will be on Peacock eventually because it is a Universal movie, and Peacock is the streaming service owned by Universal. All of the new Universal theatrical movies end up streaming on Peacock, though the wait period has varied by title

Another Universal release, Night Swim, was also pushed to VOD after just over two weeks in theaters, and it began streaming on Peacock about four months after opening in theaters (and about 10 weeks after releasing on digital). If Monkey Man follows a similar release pattern, you can expect Monkey Man to stream on Peacock around early July 2024.

This is all speculation, of course. If you want to watch Monkey Ma at home right away, you can do so by buying or renting the film on digital beginning tomorrow.
