There's a new summer romance in movie theaters this weekend, and can I just say, thank god for that. Dakota Johnson stars in Materialists, Celine Song's highly-anticipated follow-up to Past Lives. Johnson plays a matchmaker working with wealthy clients in New York City who meets what she calls a "unicorn" man, played by Pedro Pascal. They start dating and things are going well, but Johnson's character Lucy keeps getting pulled back into her ex-boyfriend John's (Chris Evans) orbit. It's a classic love triangle movie set in the best city in the world. What more could you ask for?
Here's everything you need to know about where to watch it.
How can I watch Materialists?
Great question. As of now, the movie is only in theaters. So you will have to leave your house to watch it, unfortunately. But take it as a change to take advantage of that sweet, sweet movie theater air conditioning. It is summer, after all! Nothing hits quite like an ice cold Coca Cola in a crispy air conditioned movie theater. You know the vibe.
You can buy tickets for Materialists here.
When and where will it be on streaming?
Another great question! Because the movie just started its theatrical run, it'll be a minute before it ends up on your TV screens. It could be two or three months before the film is available to stream or rent anywhere, I'm sorry to say.
And as for where, all of A24's movies stream on Max, per an exclusive deal they have with the company. So if you want to watch it as part of a subscription you already have, that would be the place to do it. But if you don't have Max and you still want to rent or buy the movie, you'll be able to do that on all the typical platforms: Amazon, Apple, YouTube, etc. You will likely be able to rent it for around $6 and buy it for $20.
