How Did 'The Accountant' Become Ben Affleck's Biggest Movie of the Past Decade?
Move over, Liam Neeson, because Matt Damon is taking on the role of protective papa in his new crime drama, Stillwater, which is opening in theaters this weekend.
Directed by Spotlight filmmaker Tom McCarthy—who also co-wrote the screenplay with Marcus Hinchey, Thomas Bidegain, and Noé Debré—Stillwater tells the story of an oil worker named Bill Baker (Damon) who is desperately searching for a way to help his estranged daughter Allison (Abigail Breslin) clear her name. While studying abroad in France, Allison has been falsely arrested for murder and is awaiting trial. Bill struggles to wade through the French legal system and language barrier as the clock is ticking, and he has to decide just how far he’s willing to go to save his daughter.
The crime drama premiered at Cannes Film Festival last month, to mixed reviews. But for fans of Damon, it doesn’t matter what the critics say. Here’s what you know to know about where to watch Stillwater, and when to expect Stillwater on streaming.
WHERE TO WATCH STILLWATER:
Stillwater will open in theaters in the U.S. and Canada on Friday, July 30. Currently, the only way to watch Stillwater is in a movie theater. (And the CDC recommends wearing a mask if you do!) You can find a showing of Stillwater near you here.
WILL STILLWATER BE ON HBO MAX?
No. Stillwater is not a Warner Bros. movie, and HBO Max, which is owned by Warner Media, is only the streaming home to first-run Warner Bros. blockbusters like Space Jam: A New Legacy. Because Stillwater is being distributed by Focus Features—which is a subsidiary of Universal Pictures—it will not stream on HBO Max at the same time that it’s in theaters. While it is possible that Stillwater will be on HBO Max someday, it will not be any time soon.
IS STILLWATER ON NETFLIX?
No. Stillwater is not on Netflix, and while it may be on Netflix someday, it will not be any time soon. In the meantime, you can stream another Matt Damon movie, Green Zone, on Netflix if you’re craving that Damon action right now.
CAN I STREAM STILLWATER AT ALL? WHEN WILL STILLWATER BE ON STREAMING?
Stillwater (2021) is not currently streaming on any digital platform, nor is it available to buy or rent on digital. (The 2018 movie Stillwater on Amazon Prime is likley not the Stillwater you’re looking for.)
There is not yet an official release date for when Stillwater will release on digital. However, you may not have to wait long before you’re able to rent the film. Many of Focus Features’ recent releases—including last month’s documentary, The Sparks Brothers—have become available to rent for $19.99 on premium video-on-demand about three weeks after releasing in theaters. This is thanks to the Universal deal with AMC that allows the studio to release its films on premium video-on-demand after 17 days in theaters.
If Stillwater follows this same pattern, you should be able to rent Stillwater on PVOD at the end of August, sometime around August 20. But if you don’t want to wait, your best option is to catch Stillwater in theaters beginning tomorrow.
