Is new Robbie Williams movie ‘Better Man’ streaming on-demand?

Find out when we think you’ll be able to stream ‘Better Man’ on Paramount+.

'Better Man' will stream on Paramount+ when it leaves theaters, but when?

This one is for you, Robbie Williams fans! The British pop star is the subject of a new biographical movie called “Better Man,” which makes its official theatrical debut on Friday, Jan. 10 in the United States. It’s not available to stream with a subscription just yet, but we’ll let you know when we think you’ll be do so below!

Key Details:

  • “Better Man” has received glowing reviews from critics and fans alike.
  • Paramount is distributing the film domestically, so it will stream on Paramount+ first.
  • Fans likely won’t have to wait too long to see “Better Man” streaming.

“Better Man” is a biographical, musical film about the life and experiences of British pop sensation Robbie Williams. The singer himself is portrayed by a CGI, anthropomorphized chimpanzee because as he says, he’s always felt “less evolved than other people.” The film follows Williams through his early life, the beginnings of his career, and his rise to superstardom.

If you think “Better Man” is just meant for fans of the singer himself, think again. The movie has an 88% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, coupled with a 94% audience score from fans who have managed to get in a preview screening so far.

When will ‘Better Man’ stream on Paramount+?

It’s fantastically easy to tell which streaming service will get “Better Man” once it’s ready to stream with a subscription. It’s being distributed by Paramount in the United States, which means the Paramount+ streaming service will get the movie once it’s no longer exclusive to theaters and premium video-on-demand (PVOD) purchase and rental platforms.

I don’t think fans will have to wait too long for “Better Man,” either. Paramount usually allows its movies to head to streaming quickly, unless they’re huge money-making blockbusters. “Gladiator II,” for example, was released 49 days ago as of the time of this writing, but it doesn’t have an arrival date announced on Paramount+ yet. “Smile 2,” on the other hand, came out on Paramount+ a mere 46 days after its initial theatrical drop in October.

I think “Better Man” will follow the example set by “Smile 2.” If it uses the same 46-day release window, fans can expect to see the movie on Paramount+ starting on Tuesday, Feb. 25.
