When will this be on streaming?

Would like to add to my Christmas line up this year, but no theaters near me are showing it?

Same. I can't find it in my city. Evidently, it was originally going to stream for free on the 15th, but it got enough buzz to get a limited theatrical release. It seems silly not to have it streaming right now.

I'm hoping it will be released on the 23rd so people will have a chance to watch it before Christmas who couldn't see it in theaters. Seems silly for a low budget film like this to be released on streaming after the holiday.

Agreed. It will be all but forgotten about by next Christmas.

So I hear. I'm expecting it to be awful, but will make for a fun drunk watch.

As far as I can tell this film still hasn't been put onto streaming nor home media (DVD, Blu-ray etc).

Seems like those few who went to the cinema to see it will be the only ones to witness it. Ha.

It got a limited theatrical release 09th December. 19 weeks ago!

As of now the only way to watch this would be to download a camrip.

3rd October 2023.

The Grinch-centric horror comedy The Mean One is heading home.

The movie, which began life as a trailer that exploded into a viral sensation, has been picked up by DeskPop Entertainment, which will release the title Oct. 3 on VOD.

Mean One’s popularity stemmed from a trailer that garnered more than 35 million views, as well as plenty of coverage ranging from from The Drew Barrymore Show to Fox News. It was released theatrically Dec. 9, 2022 in Regal Cinemas.

“We’re so excited to bring The Mean One to our amazing fans and audiences around the world with the team at Deskpop,” said LaMorte in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “Their specialty in working with genre films like ours make them the perfect partner for our unique brand of Christmas chaos!”

DeskPop, which has worldwide sales rights to the title, offers a mix of library titles and low-budget genre fare.

“I am thrilled to bring one of the most talked about cinematic experiences of the year to audiences worldwide in time for both Halloween and Christmas,” state DeskPop’s vp Mat Levy. “I assure you that your heart will grow three sizes for this film before getting pierced by a delicious candy cane spear.”
