One of the hotly anticipated movies of winter 2021 is House of Gucci which is also highly tipped to take away some of the big awards at next year’s Oscars. It will be released in cinemas November 24, but is it possible that Netflix might stream the movie? Although it seems probable, this will vary depending on your location. Here’s why.
Ridley Scott directed the biopic, which is based upon the 2001 book. The film is also based around the famed fashion family.
Lady Gaga and Jared Leto are among the actors for the film.
All theatrical releases for House of Gucci comply with the traditional windows meaning that the movie won’t be on streaming until some point (likely summer) in 2022.
MGM and United Artists Releasing don’t have a first window deal with any major streamer other than EPIX (which it owns). That’s where all movies from MGM heads to in the first window but once it departs EPIX, it’s usually only available to buy via VOD services meaning you’ll have to pay to rent or own.
Paramount+ will receive all MGM films beginning in 2021. This is in addition to an extended deal that was signed in the early 2021. This report states:
“MGM’s new movies will continue to be available first in an exclusive pay television window with Epix, before becoming available on both Paramount+ and Epix.”
Long-term, with MGM’s impending US sale to Amazon, we suspect the movie will be a permanent resident of Prime Video but until then, you’ll have to wait until 2022 for it to drop on EPIX.
In the US, then, no House of Gucci won’t be on Netflix.
It is different outside the United States. Universal Pictures will distribute the movie, which isn't distributed by MGM. Universal Pictures has broad agreements with Netflix. Usually movies are available on Netflix within the second window.
A few good examples of movies that were released in the US by MGM and Universal internationally includes 2019’s The Addams Family and The Hustle. Universal recently released Respect and No Time to Die. There’s been a few occasions too where Lionsgate handled UK distribution but that’s not the case with House of Gucci.
Over the last few years, new Universal Pictures movies have been added to regions like Netflix UK or Canada within 2 years of their theatrical releases. After its theatrical premiere in 2019, The Hustle was made available on Netlfix Canada's August 6th 2021.
If you are a resident of the UK or Canada and live in most European countries, House of Gucci will be available on Netflix in 2023.
