The First Omen's streaming release date on Hulu is confirmed for May 30, 2024. As a 20th Century film, Hulu and Disney+ were both options for where it could stream. Since The First Omen is rated R, the more adult-skewing service in Hulu makes more sense - especially since that is where the other Omen movies are streaming. 20th Century's movies typically go to streaming after roughly 80 days, which created a prediction for The First Omen's streaming release to be in June 2024. The First Omen was released on Hulu after 56 days in theaters, slightly earlier than expected.
