"The Northman" is set to get a second lease on life through the world of on-demand, only a mere few weeks after its theatrical debut.
According to the film's official Twitter account, it will be available to watch on-demand on Friday, May 13, 2022. Such a short window from a theatrical release to a home video release may initially seem odd, but even large-scale properties like "The Batman" have been taking the same approach lately. As for which particular services "The Northman" will be available on, the film's official site currently lists Prime Video, Apple TV, Vudu, YouTube, and on-demand service providers like Xfinity, Verizon, and Spectrum.
There has been no news regarding whether the movie will be available on any streaming services like Netflix or HBO Max in the future, though audiences probably shouldn't hold out hope since previous efforts from Eggers are not currently available on any of those services. All of these release details aside, it would be a difficult task to find a timing window better suited for the release of a suspenseful Eggers film than Friday the 13th. Make of that information what you will.
