John Wick Spin-Off ‘Ballerina’ Hits Digital On-Demand With Exclusive Extras

Lionsgate’s Ana de Armas-led spin-off is now available on major digital platforms pending a fall Starz streaming window and an unannounced physical release date.

Overview

  • From the World of John Wick: Ballerina premiered in theaters on June 6 and moved to premium digital purchase and rental on July 1, under a rapid home-release strategy.
  • The on-demand edition on Prime Video, Apple and Fandango at Home features four making-of featurettes—The Making of Ballerina, Building a Frozen Underworld, The Art of Action—and deleted and extended scenes.
  • Despite earning a 93% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes and solid critical praise, the film’s $105 million global gross fell short of Lionsgate’s $225 million target on a $90 million budget.
  • Directed by Len Wiseman from a Shay Hatten script, the spin-off bridges John Wick: Chapter 3 and 4 with Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro alongside Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston and the late Lance Reddick.
  • Under Lionsgate’s output deal, Ballerina is set to stream first on Starz this fall before an eventual run on Prime Video, while DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD release dates remain unannounced.
