Remember that time those guys got rich off of GameStop back in January 2021? Well, a movie documenting the insane true story called Dumb Money is coming out this week — and we have you covered on all the ways you can watch it.

Starring Paul Dano, Pete Davidson, Seth Rogen, Shailene Woodley and America Ferrera, Dumb Money follows the story of a group of everyday investors and how they were able to turn the tables on Wall Street and make boatloads of money off of the famous video game store, GameStop.

So, where can you watch Dumb Money? Is it on Max? What about Netflix?

Here’s everything we know about the upcoming movie:

WHERE TO WATCH DUMB MONEY:

As of now, the only way to watch Dumb Money is to head out to a movie theater when it releases on Friday, Sept. 15. You can find a local showing on Fandango. Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait until it becomes available to rent or purchase on digital platforms like Vudu, Apple, YouTube and Amazon.

UPDATE 11/21/23: Dumb Money officially became available to rent or purchase on digital platforms on Tuesday, Nov. 7.

WILL DUMB MONEY BE ON NETFLIX?

Dumb Money will likely be on Netflix as a result of a deal inked between the streaming platform and Sony Pictures Releasing. The deal gives the streamer U.S. rights to all the company’s theatrical films starting in 2022.

While a streaming release date for Dumb Money has not yet been announced, we can make an estimate based on another recent Sony film. The Pope’s Exorcist was released in theaters on April 14, before coming to Netflix on Aug. 16, 2023 — around four months after it debuted. If Dumb Money follows the same pattern, we could be watching from the comfort of our homes by mid-January 2024.

UPDATE 1/12/24: Dumb Money will officially begin streaming on Netflix on Sunday, Jan. 21.

WILL DUMB MONEY BE ON MAX?

No, Dumb Money 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.
