Looking to catch the buzzy new Priscilla Presley biopic? Let me help you navigate where to watch this fascinating glimpse into life at Graceland.
Theatrical Release First
Currently, “Priscilla” is exclusively showing in theaters after its October 2023 release. The film, directed by Sofia Coppola and starring Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi, has garnered significant critical acclaim, particularly for its intimate portrayal of Priscilla Presley’s life with Elvis.
Streaming Options Coming Soon
If you’re waiting to stream it at home, you’ll need to exercise a bit of patience. Based on typical release patterns, we can expect “Priscilla” to become available for digital purchase and rental around early 2025. The most likely platforms will include:
• Amazon Prime Video
• Apple TV+
• Google Play
• Vudu
• YouTube Movies
Where Will It Stream Permanently?
Since “Priscilla” is an A24 film, it will likely follow the studio’s established distribution pattern. While not officially confirmed, we can expect it to land on Max (formerly HBO Max) as its permanent streaming home, probably around spring 2025. This follows A24’s existing deal with Warner Bros. Discovery for streaming rights.
Worth the Wait?
I’ve got to tell you, this isn’t your typical Elvis movie. Instead of focusing on the King himself, we get a fascinating look at Priscilla’s perspective – from meeting Elvis at just 14 years old through their marriage and eventual separation. Having seen it myself, I can say it’s a much more nuanced and intimate portrait than what we’ve typically seen of the Presley story.
Alternative Viewing Options
While you’re waiting for “Priscilla” to hit streaming platforms, you might want to check out Priscilla Presley’s actual memoir “Elvis and Me,” which inspired the film. You could also watch “Elvis,” the 2022 Baz Luhrmann film, which offers an interesting counterpoint to this more personal narrative.
Remember, release dates can shift, so I’d recommend setting alerts on your preferred streaming platform to notify you when the film becomes available. In the meantime, watching it in theaters offers the most immersive experience for this visually stunning film – if you don’t mind venturing out to your local cinema.
