Where To Watch Anora: Showtimes & Streaming Status

Sean Baker's new movie Anora is one of the best-reviewed films of the year, which makes the arrival of its anticipated release all the more exciting. After the director's previously acclaimed works like The Florida Project and Red Rocket, the built-in excitement in seeing what he would do next made Anora a project to look forward to. It was only after its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival that hype for the film grew to new heights. The response vaulted Anora into the thick of awards season, with it predicted to dominate 2025 Oscar nominations in multiple categories.

The 2024 movie stars Mikey Madison as a sex worker named Anora and follows her life after falling in love. Following its Cannes debut, where it won the Palme d'Or - setting it up as an Oscars 2025 Best Picture nominee, the love for Anora grew with each new festival showing. The result is a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes, which makes it among the best-reviewed movies of 2024. That's all great news for Neon and FilmNation Entertainment as it created more interest in watching Anora in theaters or on streaming.

When Will Anora Release On Streaming?

Anora Is Expected To Stream On Hulu

Close

Neon and FilmNation have yet to announce when Anora will release on streaming, but the movie is expected to debut on Hulu at the appropriate time. Neon signed a deal with Hulu back in 2017 that gives the streamer exclusive streaming rights to Neon films after the theatrical release. This partnership has created a consistent schedule where Neon waits roughly 150 days (or six months) to move a film to Hulu. That would mean Anora could release on Hulu in March 2025. The projected date would be after the 2025 Oscars ceremony, so a February 2025 release could happen too.

When Will Anora Release On Digital?

Neon will make Anora available on PVOD to buy or rent the movie at home, but a specific release date has not been announced. The good news is that Neon has a typical window for when they release a new film on digital platforms, with the average gap being 40 days. This would create a projection that Anora's digital release could happen in November 2024. However, with the limited-to-wide theatrical release plan, Neon could wait a bit longer than usual. That all depends on how long the studio wants to keep Anora exclusively in theaters.
