Get ready for an influx of Turtle Power, because Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem digital release date is tomorrow.
The new animated TMNT movie was well-liked by critics and Turtle fans alike. It took home a solid $137 million at the worldwide box office, off a production budget of $70 million. Not bad! And yet, Paramount is pushing the film to “premium” video-on-demand—that’s new industry term that means they charge you movie theater prices for a digital copy of a film—just four weeks after Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem opened in theaters.
That may seem hasty, but it’s actually the new standard for most mid-budget studio movies these days. Movies that stay in theaters for longer than a month are now the exception, not the rule. Clearly, Paramount thinks they can make a few extra bucks with this premium digital release. But before you spend your money, read on to find out what you need to know about how to watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem online, and when to expect Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem streaming on Paramount+.
Beginning on Friday, September 1, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem will be available to buy and rent digitally on Amazon Prime, Google Play, Apple TV, Vudu, and more. The price may vary depending on which platform you use to purchase the film, but on Amazon Prime costs $24.99 to preorder to buy.
The digital release of Mutant Mayhem will also include over 40 minutes of bonus content, including a behind-the-scenes feature with the new young voice cast, a look into the film’s unique animation style, and a tutorial on how to draw Turtle leader Leonardo.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem will likely be on Paramount Plus before the end of the year because it is a Paramount movie. That said, there is not yet a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Paramount Plus release date, and Paramount has not had a consistent streaming release strategy.
Another Paramount 2023 release, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, began streaming on Paramount+ about a month and a half after the movie opened in theaters. If Mutant Mayhem follows a similar pattern, we can expect to see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem on Paramount+ around mid-to-late October 2023.
However, another Paramount 2023 release, Mission Impossible 7, still is not available to stream nearly two months after it opened in theaters. So who’s to say?
Given that Mutant Mayhem is a much smaller release than Mission Impossible, we suspect you’ll likely see the latest Turtles movie on Paramount+ sooner rather than later. But this is all guesswork! If you want to watch the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie ASAP, your best bet is to buy the film when it releases on digital platforms on September 1.
