Where To Watch Rumours: Showtimes & Streaming Status

Cate Blanchett returns to star in a new black comedy, and there are options for where to watch Rumours. Blanchett's year in movies did start as expected as Borderlands was a critical and financial disaster. Even though she was viewed as one of the film's best parts, it did not offer the type of performance and overall quality that viewers have grown accustomed to with movies that define Cate Blanchett's career. That changes with her second film of 2024, as the political satire plot of Rumours gives her a movie that can delight audiences.

Directed by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson, Rumours follows global leaders at a G7 meeting as they get lost in the woods while trying to solve a mysterious worldwide issue. Blanchett headlines the cast as the Chancellor of Germany, Hilda Ortmann. Other notable cast members include Charles Dance, who is the President of the United States, and Alicia Vikander, who is the Secretary-General of the European Commission. The hilarious story that unfolds around these characters and how the cast handles it all delighted critics who reviewed Rumours to the tune of an 80% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Rumours began its theatrical release on October 18, 2024 as an exclusive title playing in cinemas. The release came months after it premiered out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival. Bleecker Street acquired the film after production wrapped and planned on debuting it in theaters later in 2024. With a sub-two-hour runtime and an R-rating, Rumours is best suited for adults looking to go to theaters for a slightly absurdist political comedy. The release also comes weeks before the 2024 presidential election.

When Will Rumours Release On Streaming?

Rumours Will Stream On Showtime

Bleecker Street has yet to announce when Rumours will be released on streaming. However, the timing and platform are roughly known. Bleecker Street Films signed a deal with Showtime in 2022 so that Showtime gets exclusive streaming rights to all Bleecker Street new releases. Each movie must be released on Showtime within five months of its theatrical release per the terms of the deal. That means Rumours will release on Showtime by March 2025 at the very latest.

When Will Rumours Release On Digital?

The option to watch Rumours at home on digital will come at a later date, as Bleecker Street has not confirmed when this will happen. The chance to buy or rent the movie on all major PVOD services should come after roughly one month. This is the timeline Bleecker Street used for Sasquatch Summer, another of their notable 2024 releases. This would mean Rumours' digital release date could come in November 2024 if the same schedule is used. That still gives Rumours several weeks to play in theaters and find an audience there first.
