Shin Kamen Rider #ShinKamenRider
Shin Kamen Rider — the newest Japanese superhero film — is finally coming to U.S. theaters this week. Luckily, we have you covered on all the ways you can watch it!
The movie, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of Kamen Rider, follows Takeshi Hongo — a motorcyclist who transforms into a grasshopper-hybrid cyborg as he must fight off the evil organization SHOCKER to save the world.
So where can you watch Shin Kamen Rider? Is it on HBO Max? What about Netflix?
Here’s everything we know about the upcoming movie:
WHERE TO WATCH SHIN KAMEN RIDER:
As of now, the only way to watch Shin Kamen Rider is to head out to a movie theater when it releases on Wednesday, May 31. You can find a local showing on Fandango. Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait for it to become available to rent or purchase on digital platforms like Prime Video, Vudu, Apple and YouTube.
WHEN WILL SHIN KAMEN RIDER BE ON STREAMING?
While a digital release for Shin Kamen Rider has not yet been announced, most movies typically become available to rent or buy around 45 days after their theatrical release. If this film follows the same trajectory, you may be able to watch from the comfort of your home by early July 2023.
No, Shin Kamen Rider will not be on HBO Max since it’s not a Warner Bros. movie. The company announced last year that they would no longer send their theatrical films directly to the streamer. Instead, they’ve implemented a 45-day window between theatrical premieres and HBO Max releases.
WILL SHIN KAMEN RIDER BE ON NETFLIX?
No, Shin Kamen Rider will not be on Netflix — at least not any time soon. While it’s possible it may come to the streamer at some point in the future, you’ll just have to head out to a movie theater or wait for it to become available on digital platforms in the meantime.
