Although it was just released in theatres on August 19, Beast is now on demand. Pricing for renting or buying the movie begins at $19.99 on Premium VOD and $24.99. The film Beast, starring Idris Elba, is about a doctor visiting Africa who is trying to keep his two daughters safe from an unruly lion. The movie did somewhat better than expected at the box office and was well received by critics, earning 68 per cent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
Since Universal Pictures distributed Beast in theatres, and UP has an exclusive contract with Peacock that allows movies to debut on the service as soon as 45 days following their theatrical debut, it’s likely that the action thriller will be made available on the site in the near future. Beast is a film directed by Baltasar Kormákur and written by Ryan Engle. Kormákur has directed the movies 2 Guns, Everest, and Adrift, while Engle has written the screenplays for the movies Rampage and Breaking In. Jaime Primak Sullivan obtains a tale by credit.
Beast also features Sharlto Copley, Iyana Halley, and Leah Jeffries in addition to Elba. The MPAA gave Beast an R rating due to its bloody images, strong language, and brief moments of violence. The film is one hour and thirty-three minutes long. Beast initially came in at number 2 at the weekend box office straight behind Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. The survival thriller ended up grossing $11.6 million in its debut weekend, including $925,000 from Thursday night previews. The next weekend, the picture earned about $5 million and placed third. You may now rent or buy other recent theatrical titles from Universal, like Jordan Peele’s Nope. Some movies, like “Halloween Kills,” will be released on Peacock at the same time it hits theatres and on other streaming services. A huge shift in the film business as a whole can be seen in Universal’s rapid transition of its theatrical films to on-demand and streaming. Currently, you may buy or rent Beast on services like Amazon and YouTube.
