Denzel Washington is gearing up to reprise his role as retired U.S. marine and former DIA officer Robert McCall in The Equalizer 3, which is hitting theaters this weekend. Luckily, we have you covered on everything you need to know about the new flick!
In an effort to escape his harrowing past as a government assassin, Robert moves to Southern Italy — only to learn that his newfound friends are under the control of local crime bosses. This leads him to protect his pals by taking on the mafia.
So, how can you watch The Equalizer 3? 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 The Equalizer 3 is to head out to a movie theater when it releases on Friday, Sept. 1. 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 The Equalizer 3 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, The Equalizer 3 should come to digital by mid-October 2023.
The Equalizer 3 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 The Equalizer 3 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 The Equalizer 3 follows the same pattern, we could be watching from the comfort of our homes by early January 2024.
