11 Best New Movies on Netflix: December 2023’s Freshest Films to Watch
Chris Pratt is the voice of Garfield, the beloved lasagna-loving feline, in The Garfield Movie, which is coming to theaters this week. Luckily, we have you covered on all the ways you can watch this new film!
The Garfield Movie follows Garfield and his canine best friend Odie as they embark on an exciting (and hilarious) outdoor adventure when the former reunites with his father Vic (Samuel L. Jackson). The film also features voiceovers from Hannah Waddingham, Nicholas Hoult and Cecily Strong.
So, where can you watch The Garfield Movie? Is it on Netflix? What about Max?
Here’s everything we know about the upcoming movie:
WHERE TO WATCH THE GARFIELD MOVIE:
As of now, the only way to watch The Garfield Movie is to head out to a movie theater when it releases on Friday, May 24. You can find a local showing on Fandango. Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait until it becomes available to rent or purchase on digital platforms like Vudu, Apple, YouTube and Amazon, or becomes available to stream on Netflix and Disney+. Read on for more information.
WILL THE GARFIELD MOVIE BE ON NETFLIX?
The Garfield Movie will likely be on Netflix as a result of a deal inked between the streaming platform and Sony Pictures Releasing that gives the streamer rights to all the company’s theatrical films starting in 2022.
While a streaming release date for The Garfield Movie has not yet been announced, we can make an estimate based on another recent Sony film. Thanksgiving was released in theaters on Nov. 17, 2023, before coming to Netflix on Feb. 17, 2024 — around three months after it debuted. If The Garfield Movie follows the same pattern, we could be watching from the comfort of our homes by late August 2024.
WILL THE GARFIELD MOVIE BE ON DISNEY+?
Yes, The Garfield Movie will eventually come to Disney+ due to the company’s deal with Sony Pictures Releasing, which allows it access to all of Sony’s theatrical releases following their “Pay 1 TV Window.” This means that The Garfield Movie will be released in theaters, then on digital, then on Netflix and finally on Disney platforms — meaning it’s going to be a while until this happens.
