We know this year is going to be fetch if one of the first movies coming out is the highly-anticipated Mean Girls musical. Luckily, we have you covered on all the ways you can watch this new flick!
Based on the Broadway musical of the same name — which is based on Tina Fey’s 2004 comedy — Mean Girls follows new-girl Cady Heron (Angourie Rice) as she works to take down The Plastics, a.k.a the popular girls in school ruled by queen bee Regina George (Reneé Rapp).
So, where can you watch Mean Girls? Will it be on Netflix? What about Max?
Here’s everything we know about the upcoming movie:
As of now, the only way to watch Mean Girls is to head out to a movie theater when it releases on Friday, Jan. 12. You can find a local showing on Fandango. Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait until it becomes available to rent or purchase on digital platforms like Vudu, Apple, YouTube and Amazon, or becomes available to stream on Paramount+. Read on for more information.
Yes, Mean Girls will be on Paramount+. While a release date for has not yet been announced, we can make an estimate based on another movie that was recently distributed by the studio.
Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie was released in theaters on Sept. 29 before coming to Paramount+ on Nov. 14 — about 45 days after its initial release. If Mean Girls follows the same pattern, it should be available to stream on the platform by late February 2024.
No, Mean Girls will not be on Max since it’s not a Warner Bros. movie. The platform — previously known as HBO Max — also no longer does direct-to-streaming releases. Instead, they’ve implemented a 45-day window between the theatrical release and the Max release.
No, Mean Girls will not be on Netflix — at least not anytime soon, since it will go to Paramount+ after its theatrical run.
