Will "Bullet Train" Be Available to Stream?

Unfortunately, "Bullet Train" won't be available to stream for a while. The film hits theatres on Aug. 5, 2022, and will have an exclusive theatrical release.

When Will "Bullet Train" Be Available to Stream?

At this time, there been no formal announcement regarding "Bullet Train" hitting any streamers. Since the film has an exclusive theatrical release, it will be at least 30 to 45 days before it hits a streaming service.

In April 2021, Sony Pictures Entertainment agreed to a five-year deal with Netflix, which gives the platform streaming rights to Sony titles after their specific windows (i.e. theatrical or home entertainment) run their course, according to Variety.

As "Bullet Train" is distributed by Sony, it is likely the film will hit Netflix following its theatrical release. Sony's average theatrical window is approximately 45 days, according to Deadline, which is then followed by DVD/Blu Ray releases, and Netflix afterwards. Given this information, we can anticipate "Bullet Train" hitting the streamer on or around Sept. 20, 2022, at the earliest, though the window for DVD and Blu Ray releases could slow that down.
