Read on for more information.
WHEN WILL BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE BE ON STREAMING? WILL BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE BE ON PARAMOUNT+?
UPDATE 5/8/24: Bob Marley: One Love officially became available to stream on Paramount+ on April 12.
Yes, Bob Marley: One Love will be on Paramount+ since it’s being distributed by Paramount Pictures. While a release date for the film has not yet been announced, we can make an estimate based on another movie that was recently distributed by the studio.
Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie was released in theaters on Sept. 29 before coming to Paramount+ on Nov. 14 — about 45 days after its initial release. If Bob Marley: One Love follows the same pattern, it should be available to stream on the platform by late March 2024.
WILL BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE BE ON HBO MAX?
No, Bob Marley: One Love will not be on Max since it’s not a Warner Bros. movie. The platform — previously known as HBO Max — also no longer does direct-to-streaming releases. Instead, they’ve implemented a 45-day window between the theatrical release and the Max release.
WILL BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE BE ON NETFLIX?
No, Bob Marley: One Love will not be on Netflix — at least not anytime soon, since it will go to Paramount+ after its theatrical run.
