Archie Madekwe, David Harbour and Orlando Bloom are teaming up to tell the true story of Jann Mardenborough in Gran Tursimo, which is coming to theaters this weekend. Luckily, we have you covered on all the ways you can watch this new flick!
Directed by Neill Blomkamp, the sports drama follows Jann (Madekwe), a young Gran Turismo gamer who teams up with former racer Jack Salter (Harbour) and motorsports executive Danny Moore (Bloom) to become a professional racecar driver.
So, how can you watch Gran Turismo? Will it be on Netflix? What about Prime Video?
Here’s everything we know about the upcoming movie:
As of now, the only way to watch Gran Turismo is to head out to a movie theater when it releases on Friday, Aug. 25. You can find a local showing on Fandango. Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait for it to become available to rent or buy on digital platforms such as Amazon, Vudu, Apple and YouTube, or become available to stream on Netflix. Read on for more information.
While a digital release date for Gran Turismo has not yet been announced, we can make an educated guess on when it will be available to rent or buy on platforms like Prime Video based on a previously released Sony Pictures Releasing movie.
The Storm Reid-led thriller Missing was released in theaters on Jan. 20 before becoming available to purchase or rent on March 7 — about 45 days after its debut. By that logic, Gran Turismo should come to digital by early October 2023.
Gran Turismo will likely be on Netflix as a result of a deal inked between the streaming platform and Sony Pictures Releasing. The deal gives the streamer U.S. rights to all the company’s theatrical films starting in 2022.
While a streaming release date for Gran Turismo has not yet been announced, we can make an estimate based on another recent Sony film. The Pope’s Exorcist was released in theaters on April 14, before coming to Netflix on Aug. 16, 2023 — around four months after it debuted. If Gran Turismo follows the same pattern, we could be watching from the comfort of our homes by late December 2023.
