BBG News

The comedy film “Friendship,” starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd, is set to premiere in theaters this week. Directed by Andrew DeYoung, the story revolves around Craig, played by Tim Robinson, who forms an unexpected friendship with his new neighbor Austin (Paul Rudd). At first, Craig is thrilled to have made so many new friends in the neighborhood. However, as hinted in the trailer for “Friendship,” the bond between them takes a dramatic turn when Austin expresses his wish to end their relationship. Though the film promises humor, it seems to delve into more serious and thought-provoking themes based on this intriguing premise.

The movie titled “Friendship” made its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2024 and is now hitting theaters. Since its premiere, reviews for “Friendship” have been outstanding. Ebaster’s Graeme Guttman gave the film a rating of 7 out of 10, and it boasts an impressive 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (according to Rotten Tomatoes). This rating may shift after its theatrical release, but “Friendship” appears poised to be one of the standout and unexpected films in both Robinson and Rudd’s careers.

Friendship Releases In Theaters On May 9, 2025

Friendship’s Limited Theatrical Run Begins On May 9, 2025

Beginning May 9, 2025, the independent film “Friendship” is set to make its way to cinemas after being showcased at the Toronto International Film Festival around eight months ago. Initially, it will only be available in a select number of theaters due to its low budget. However, starting May 23, 2025, the film will expand its release to more locations. If you can’t find any screenings near you this week, don’t worry as you won’t have to wait long to catch the movie starring Robinson and Rudd.

If the play “Friendship” is being staged in your area for its brief theatrical run, you might find performances scheduled even on the night before, due to Thursday previews. Consequently, some audience members could catch the show on May 8, 2025. Although it’s unlikely that “Friendship” will be among the month’s major blockbusters, given movies like “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning”, “Lilo & Stitch”, and “Final Destination Bloodlines”, its trailers suggest it could offer an amusing surprise, making it a worthwhile choice for viewing.

When Will Friendship Release On Streaming?

Friendship Will Eventually Stream On Max

Due to the fact that the movie ‘Friendship’ is only getting a limited release initially, some people might find it challenging to catch it in theaters. Hence, being aware of when this movie becomes accessible on streaming platforms and digital download is crucial. Notably, ‘Friendship’ is produced by A24, the well-known independent film company that has distributed critically acclaimed films like ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’, ‘Hereditary’, and ‘Lady Bird’. Given that it’s an A24 production, you can expect ‘Friendship’ to make its way to Max eventually.

In the year 2023, A24 sealed a contract with Warner Bros. Discovery that guarantees their films are first released on Max before any other streaming platforms. Consequently, the movie “Friendship” will follow suit and appear on Max alongside other productions from A24. Based on our forecasts, we anticipate that “Friendship” will be streamable on Max in September 2024, a year after its original release date.

When Will Friendship Release On Digital?

Friendship Will Release On Digital This Summer

According to the forecast, viewers eagerly awaiting the film “Friendship” might need to hold off for four months before it hits Max. However, you can buy it digitally earlier. It seems that “Friendship” could debut digitally as early as July 2025, which is only two months after its premiere in theaters. Consequently, fans of the movie and those who missed it at the cinema will get a chance to enjoy “Friendship” from the comfort of their homes during the summer season.
