How to Watch The Monkey: Showtimes and Streaming Release Date – Guide for Viewers

The newest Stephen King adaptation, “The Monkey,” directed by Oz Perkins, just hit theaters, featuring Theo James, Tatiana Maslany, Elijah Wood, and Adam Scott. If you’re a horror-comedy fan eager to catch this creepy monkey tale, here’s how you can watch it.

“The Monkey” released in theaters on February 21, and you can find showtimes near you on main theater websites like Fandango, AMC Theaters, Cinemark Theaters, and Regal Theaters. Unfortunately, it won’t be streaming on Netflix or HBO Max. Instead, it’s set to appear on Hulu. Neon, the distributor, has a deal with Hulu for its theatrical releases, which means you might have to wait a while before it’s available for streaming. For example, Perkins’ previous film, “Longlegs,” took around seven months to land on Hulu after its theater release.

While you might need to exercise some patience, “The Monkey” should be up for rent or purchase on platforms like Prime Video by early May. The movie is based on King’s short story from 1980 and revolves around twin brothers haunted by a sinister toy monkey that sparks deadly chaos.

If you’re wondering about the runtime and rating, “The Monkey” is rated R for its mix of violence, gore, strong language, and some sexual references. The film runs for 1 hour and 38 minutes. While there’s no post-credits scene per se, there’s a final twist that you won’t want to miss. To dive deeper into the details, including the cast and more, check out the full report on “The Monkey.”
