Boy Kills World is a new 2024 action movie heavily inspired by John Wick, and there are different options for where to watch it in theaters or on streaming. Following the popularity of Keanu Reeves' John Wick franchise, Hollywood has attempted to replicate its success with various copycat action movies. Boy Kills World is the latest entry in that subgenre, one that puts John Wick: Chapter 4's Bill Skarsgård in the lead role. Although there are differences between the properties, the simplistic revenge narrative and action style are reminiscent of the original John Wick.
Interest in Boy Kills World has been high, thanks to various factors that have increased the desire for many to watch it. The involvement of Sam Raimi as a producer, its wild John Wick action, and the action roles for Bill Skarsgård and Jessica Rothe are among the many reasons why there is anticipation for the film.

When Will Boy Kills World Release On Streaming?
Boy Kills World Will Stream On Starz
It is not yet confirmed when Boy Kills World's streaming release date will be. As a Lionsgate release, the movie is expected to stream on Starz first when the time comes. Unlike most studios, Lionsgate waits a long time between a film's theatrical and streaming releases, typically waiting a full six months to make the move. This would mean that Boy Kills World could be released on streaming in October 2024 if the trend holds. A slightly earlier release could happen if the movie does not perform well at the box office.
When Will Boy Kills World Release On Digital?
No Release Date Has Been Set
Those wanting to watch Boy Kills World at home will have the chance to do so through its digital release. However, Lionsgate has yet to announce when consumers will have this option through most major PVOD services. The studio typically waits either 21 or 32 days to release a movie digitally. This would provide the opportunity to buy or rent Boy Kills World on digital in May 2024 regardless of which option Lionsgate takes. The only way Boy Kills World's digital release date is pushed back will be if it proves to be a surprise box office hit.
