For those eager to catch Twisters, the movie hit theaters on July 19, giving audiences the opportunity to experience the action-packed film on the big screen before it becomes available for streaming. While the exact streaming release date is yet to be confirmed, Universal Pictures, the producer and distributor of Twisters, has a deal with Peacock, owned by NBCUniversal, allowing new Universal films to be rented or purchased on the platform as early as 45 days after their theatrical release. According to ScreenRant, Universal movies typically appear on Peacock within 90 days of their release, indicating that Twisters could potentially be available for streaming on Peacock as early as August 2024 or as late as October 2024.
