Eternity Hits U.K. Theaters As Audience Buzz Builds And Streaming Timeline Emerges

The A24 afterlife rom-com draws high audience scores despite a modest box office start.

Overview

  • Eternity opened in the U.S. on November 26 and expands to U.K. cinemas on December 5.
  • The film follows Joan, who enters a curated afterlife and has one week to choose how to spend eternity under strict no‑do‑over rules.
  • Audience reception is strong, with a reported 91% Rotten Tomatoes audience score against roughly 77% from critics, while box office sits at just over $5.4 million so far.
  • Based on recent A24 release patterns, coverage projects a late‑December PVOD debut (around December 30) and an HBO Max streaming launch in early April 2026.
  • Cast interviews highlight themes of ordinary, long‑term love within a consumerized afterlife setting, as critics discuss the film’s resolution and the logic of its rules without consensus.
