Exactly When You Can Stream The Mummy: Lee Cronin’s Reboot Heads to VOD and Streaming

So, you just saw Lee Cronin's The Mummy in theaters (or maybe you're just horror-curious and don't want to mess with sticky floors). Either way, you're probably wondering when you can kick back and stream it at home—ideally without someone kicking your seat. The answer, as usual, is: it's complicated, but let's break it down.

When Can You Watch The Mummy at Home?

First off, there's no official digital or streaming date yet. That hasn’t stopped people from asking, and honestly, it never does. But based on what Warner Bros. typically does (and we've all seen this routine), there are some educated guesses to be made.

Digital/VOD Release: Sooner Than You'd Think

If you've been paying attention to recent release strategies, new movies usually make their way to digital platforms (that's rent or buy on VOD) about a month after hitting theaters. The Mummy arrived in theaters on April 17, so if we follow the math (and industry patterns), expect a digital release window somewhere between late May and early June.

Is that set in stone? Nope. But unless The Mummy turns into a box office juggernaut that won't die (ironic, considering the title), that's the likely timeline.

Streaming Release: Not as Quick

Streaming is where things drag out. Studios like Warner Bros. tend to hold off on announcing a streaming date for a couple of reasons—mainly, they want to see how the film actually performs in theaters before committing to a home release plan. Translation: if you’re waiting to catch The Mummy as part of your subscription, settle in.

• Theatrical Debut: April 17, 2024
• Estimated Digital/VOD: Late May to Early June 2024
• Estimated Streaming (subscription): Summer 2024 (think July, maybe August, based on the usual 2–3 month pattern)

Key detail: Studios almost never lock in the streaming date right away, especially for anything horror-related that MIGHT still get some mileage out of theaters. If Warner Bros. does what they've done with similar movies, expect an announcement about streaming sometime this summer.

So, What's the Movie About?

Not to be confused with the Brendan Fraser franchise, Cronin's version is a straight-up supernatural horror. It centers on a family torn apart by a disappearance, only to have their lives completely upended when that lost person returns out of nowhere. Spoiler: the reunion is way creepier than heartwarming.

Cast includes: Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, Verónica Falcón, and a few more faces you might sort-of recognize.

A Final Word from the Filmmaker

'Everything starts out like a family drama, but when things take a turn, you realize you’re deep in supernatural territory. We wanted you to question what you’d do if someone you lost came back, but not quite the way you remember them.'

To sum it up: If you’re dying to check out The Mummy from your couch, keep an eye out for a digital release in the next month or so, and set your notifications for a streaming drop later in the summer. Until Warner Bros. makes it official, nothing’s guaranteed—but you can bet they won’t sit on it for long.
