The dust from Cannes hasn’t even settled, yet Ari Aster’s sharp-tongued neo-Western Eddington—starring Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal—has galloped straight from the red carpet to your living room.
After dazzling and dividing audiences at its May 16, 2025, Cannes premiere and hitting U.S. theaters on July 18, the film is now riding onto digital platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple iTunes, Vudu, and Google TV as of August 12, 2025.
A Pandemic Western with a Bite
Set in a locked-down New Mexico town during COVID-19, Eddington pits Sheriff Joe Cross (Phoenix) against Mayor Ted Garcia (Pascal) in a clash of politics, paranoia, and power plays. Aster swaps his usual horror surrealism for a sardonic neo-Western lens, delivering a story that blends dusty tension with razor-sharp satire on leadership and community fracture.
Reception: Divisive but Unforgettable
Critics have been split—Rotten Tomatoes plants it at 67%—while audiences debated its tonal mix of absurdity and grit. At the box office, it wrangled a modest $11.3 million worldwide, but its cultural footprint already feels bigger than its numbers suggest.
Digital & Beyond
Available Now: Rent or buy digitally on major VOD platforms starting August 12, 2025.
Coming in October: 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray editions arrive, with the 4K version exclusive to the A24 shop—packed with a 33-minute making-of documentary and six collectible postcards.
Streaming Soon: Expected to trot onto Max in mid-November 2025, following A24’s typical release pattern.
