The newest horror film generating a lot of buzz in 2025 is called Companion, and it is now readily accessible for purchase or rental online. There’s no need to delay any further; you can quickly have Sophie Thatcher portraying a killer robot at your fingertips.
Created and directed by Drew Hancock in his first venture as a director, Companion features Thatcher as Iris, a “companion robot” who defies her owner, Josh (portrayed by Jack Quaid). Josh doesn’t make it hard for her to rebel since he takes her along as his companion on a secluded vacation with friends to a cabin deep in the woods.
Alongside Thatcher, the movie also stars Lukas Gage, Megan Suri, Harvey Guillén, and Rupert Friend. Companion has garnered high praise from reviewers and has benefited from a social media campaign driven by word of mouth. These factors have contributed to the film grossing over $32.9 million globally up to this point, which is more than three times the movie’s initial production budget of $10 million. Impressive results!
Now Warner Bros. hopes to earn even more money from the movie with the premium digital release. Read on for all the info you need on how to watch the Companion movie online, and when we expect to see the Companion movie streaming on Max.
Companion will be available to buy or rent on digital platforms on Tuesday, February 18. You’ll be able to buy and rent digitally on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Vudu, and more. The price may vary depending on which platform you use to purchase the film, but on Amazon Prime the movie will cost $24.99 to buy, and $19.99 to rent. If you rent the movie, you’ll have 48 hours to view after hitting “play.”
Companion will be released on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD on April 1, 2025. The premium digital and physical releases of the movie will come with the following special features: “I Feel, Therefore I Am” with Jack Quaid and Sophie Thatcher, “Love, Eli” with Harvey Guillén and Lukas Gage, ” and “AI Horror” with director Drew Hancock.
Companion is not yet available on a subscription-based streaming service, but we do expect to see Companion streaming on Max eventually, because Companion is a Warner Bros. movie, and Max is the streamer owned by Warner Bros.
The Companion Max streaming release date on has not yet been announced yet, but we can make an educated guess based on previous releases. Joker: Folie à Deux, for example, was released on PVOD three-and-a-half weeks after opening in theaters, and began streaming on Max on December 13, a little over two months after it was released in theaters. If Companion follows a similar release pattern, you may see the movie streaming on Max around April 2025.
But that’s pure speculation. The Warner Bros. home releases have varied by title. In the meantime, you can always catch Companion by buying or renting the movie online.
