A streaming video on demand date for Weapons has not been announced yet, but when it comes to SVOD, the Warner Bros. film will premiere on the Warner Bros. Discovery platform HBO Max.

If Weapons follows the same pattern as two other recent Warner Bros. horror movies — Sinners and Final Destination Bloodlines, which debuted on SVOD two and a half months after their theatrical releases — then viewers can expect Weapons to debut on HBO Max sometime around Oct. 24.

Rated R, Weapons is still playing in theaters and available on PVOD.
