A new documentary about John Lennon titled One to One: John & Yoko is hitting theaters this weekend. This just proves that no matter how many documentaries about the Beatles are released, fans of the band will always be eager to watch them. The enduring appeal of the Beatles is truly remarkable.
Directed by Kevin Macdonald, the film provides a close-up look at the lives of John Lennon and Yoko Ono during an 18-month period when they resided together in New York City in the early 1970s. The documentary reaches its climax with Lennon and Ono’s One to One concert at Madison Square Garden in 1972, which marked Lennon’s sole full-length concert post-Beatles and before his tragic passing in 1980.
For all the Beatles enthusiasts out there, the release of this new documentary is surely a must-watch. Here’s a breakdown of where you can catch One to One: John & Yoko in theaters and when it is expected to become available for streaming.
For now, One To One: John & Yoko will only be available to watch in a movie theater, when it opens in IMAX theaters in the U.S. on Friday, April 11. You can find a showing near you via Fandango. The documentary will expand to non-IMAX theaters after an exclusive IMAX run.
One To One: John & Yoko is not yet available to watch online or on streaming. That said, The Wrap reported in January that the documentary will air on HBO and stream on HBO’s Max in “late 2025.”
One To One: John & Yoko is not streaming on Netflix or Prime Video right now. While it’s possible One To One: John & Yoko stream on Netflix someday, it won’t be until after the theatrical run and digital release of the movie. One To One: John & Yoko is not a Netflix original—it’s a small, independent film being distributed by Magnolia Films. Never say never, but because the film is slated to premiere on HBO and stream on Max later this year, it will be a long time before you see One To One: John & Yoko streaming on Netflix, if ever.
You will be able to purchase One To One: John & Yoko on Prime Video eventually, when the movie becomes available to buy and rent on digital, but you will not be able to stream One To One: John & Yoko on Prime Video free with a Prime subscription any time soon, because it is not a Prime original movie. If you want to watch One To One: John & Yoko movie at home, you’ll have to wait for the film to be available to buy or rent on digital platforms, or wait for it to stream on Max.
One To One: John & Yoko movie digital release date has not yet been announced. However, we can make an educated guess as to when we might see One To One: John & Yoko on video-on-demand, based on the digital release of previous films from this studio, Magnolia Pictures.
Another Magnolia Pictures movie, The Assessment, was released in theaters on March 21, and was released on digital platforms on April 8—aka, about two-and-a-half weeks after opening in theaters. If One To One: John & Yoko follows a similar pattern, you might see One To One: John & Yoko movie on video-on-demand in about two-and-a-half weeks, around the week of April 29, 2025.
However, because One To One: John & Yoko is expected to air on HBO, it’s possible the movie won’t release on digital until after its HBO and Max premiere.
The One To One: John & Yoko HBO Max release date has not yet been announced. The film is opening exclusively to IMAX theaters this week, “before expanding to other theaters leading up to HBO and Max premiere,” according to press material sent out for the film. The Wrap reported it would air on HBO in “late 2025,” suggesting that it may not be until after the summer. For now, we’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, you can watch the film in theaters.
