Stream John Krasinski’s ‘IF’ on Paramount+ Now: From Theaters to Home Screens

Date:

Key Takeaways:
– John Krasinski’s family film, ‘IF’, is now available to stream on Paramount+.
– The movie had a short theatrical window before moving to streaming, like many others this year.
– It followed an unusual trend of underperforming at the box-office but doing well on digital platforms.
– Other anticipated movies like ‘Road House’ and ‘Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F’ missed their big-screen opportunities.
– Major studios like Amazon and Netflix are also releasing their original titles in theaters before streaming.

Hey readers! We’ve got some exciting news for all the movie buffs out there. John Krasinski’s family movie, ‘IF’ has made its way to Paramount+, ready for you to stream from the comfort of your home.

Originally Released, Now on Digital

Launched in theaters on May 17, ‘IF’ quickly floated to digital streaming outlets for rental or purchase. The studio also had plans of a physical media release set for August 13, with a 4K Blu-ray edition making its way to stores. But, guess what? Lucky for us, we’ll get to see it a bit sooner as it’s already streaming on Paramount+.

Fast-Track to Home Screens

It’s not a secret, lots of movies this year are quickly jumping from movie theater showings to being available on home video. Take for instance Kevin Costner western ‘Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter One’. It’s set for streaming availability mere weeks following its theater release on July 16.

Similar fates met other films like the action-packed ‘The Fall Guy’ starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, and also ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, and ‘The Bikeriders’. The one common thing about these films? They didn’t do great in cinemas. But here’s the twist. The latest sequel to Krasinski’s popular horror franchise, ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’, is doing quite well at box offices. How’s that for mixing things up?

Opportunity Knocking… or Not?

On another note, some exciting films this year ended up missing out on their chances at the big screens. The contenders? ‘Road House’ and ‘Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F’. Both could have potentially done well in cinema crowds. But major streamers, Amazon and Netflix, chose to release their original films on their streaming services instead. That’s a bit surprising, considering they normally release their titles in theaters first. But, hey, it’s all about the convenience of home viewing now, right?

Step into the World of ‘IF’

So, you’re probably wondering what ‘IF’ is about? Here’s the story. Starring Cailey Fleming, Ryan Reynolds, and of course, John Krasinski, ‘IF’ is a charming and fun story about a girl who discovers she can see everyone’s imaginary friends, or IFs. She goes on a whimsical adventure to reunite forgotten IFs with their kids before they disappear. Trust me, this is a magical treat you and your family will love!

Written and directed by John Krasinski, ‘IF’ also flaunts a stellar cast of voices, including that of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Steve Carell. So, grab your popcorn and get ready for a laughter-filled and heartwarming adventure with ‘IF’ on Paramount+. Happy watching!
