When Can You Stream Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga? Release Date Rumors for Max, UK, and Australia Uncategorized doly — August 27, 2024 · 0 Comment Witness me! Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga will arrive on Max in the US in mid-August (Image credit: Warner Bros. Pictures)It’s been three months since Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, one of 2024’s most anticipated new movies, sped into theaters. A streaming release date, then, has been a long time coming – and, finally, we know when the Mad Max pre-sequel film will be available to stream on Max, aka one of the world’s best streaming services (in the US, anyway). The date in question: Friday, August 16. Prepare to start your engines accordingly.Unfortunately, at the time of this article’s latest update (August 9), viewers in the UK and Australia can still only rent and/or buy it on premium video-on-demand (VOD) services. Hopefully, we’ll get word of when we can *ahem* witness Furiosa on British and Australian shores soon. In the meantime, you can read more about when we think George Miller’s new magnum opus will race onto a service in these countries later in this guide. You’ll also learn more about other key details, including Furiosa‘s official trailer and runtime. On your marks, get set, go! When will Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga be released on Max?As we mentioned in our introduction, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga will put pedal to the metal and make its official debut on Max on Friday, August 16. That means we were weren’t far off in our initial predictions – indeed, we expected one of August’s new Max movies to be released on the super streamer on August 2 or 9. How did we reach that conclusion? By looking at when other notable Warner Bros. Pictures films made the leap to Max after their theatrical launces. For instance, Barbie made its Max debut nearly five months after its theatrical release, with the Margot Robbie-starring fantasy comedy-drama landing in theaters on July 21, 2023 but not arriving on Max until December 15.Meanwhile, Aquaman 2 made a splash on Max two months after its December 22 launch (February 27, to be precise). Wonka didn’t take its sweet time doing likewise – the Timothee Chalamet-fronted family film landing on Max on March 8, almost three months after its big-screen release. Most recently, another Chalamet-starring movie in Dune Part 2 spiced things up on May 21, around 10 weeks after its critically-acclaimed theatrical run.Anyway, we’ll finally be able to add Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga to our best Max movies list very soon. Keep an eye out for it shortly, then. Where can I stream Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga in the UK?Chris Hemsworth’s Dementus won’t be on a UK streamer near you anytime soon (Image credit: Warner Bros. Pictures)Furiosa can’t be streamed ‘for free’ at home yet in the UK. However, you can rent and/or buy it on Premium VOD platforms (for 48 hours, mind you) as of July 1.As for where it’ll be viewable from a streaming platform you’re subscirbed to, we’d expect it to debut on Sky and Now TV, as this pair are home to various Warner Bros. movies and HBO TV shows, including Zack Snyder’s Justice League and House of the Dragon. The likes of Aquaman 2, Wonka, and Dune Part 2, though, are still only available to rent and/or buy via digital stores, so it’s possible that Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga will remain a PVOD exclusive for some time. Sure, Barbie is currently available to watch on Sky and Now TV but it’s the exception to the rule. Once a UK streaming release date is confirmed, we’ll update this guide.What streamer can I watch Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga on in Australia?Sorry, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga won’t be available to stream in Australia for a while, either (Image credit: Jasin Boland)Again, no Australian streaming launch date has been announced for the fifth installment in the Mad Max movie franchise. Like their British cousins, viewers down under will have to rent and/or buy Furiosa via online stores if they want to watch it in their own home.There are examples of Warner Bros. movies making their way onto select streamers in Australia. For example, The Batman (available now on Foxtel) and Justice League (also Foxtel) are all streamable on the aforementioned platforms, so Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga may follow suit. We’ll let you know if it does so. What is the runtime for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga?“Ladies and gentlemans! Start your engines…” (Image credit: Jasin Boland)Furiosa: A Mad Saga runs for two hours and 28 minutes. That includes its end credits sequence, plus any potential mid- and post-credits scenes that it may contain.Is it still worth watching, though? Yes, according to its near-universally positive reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, Furiosa currently holds a 90% critical rating and 89% audience score. It’s not as highly regarded as Mad Max: Fury Road‘s near-perfect 97% critical score, but it’s nonetheless an incredibly impressive showing for a pre-sequel film that arrives nearly a decade after Fury Road. In short: stream it as soon as you can. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
