In 2001, a book called The Tiger Rising took children’s literature by storm with the story of a 12-year-old boy who finds a caged tiger in the woods behind his home. Now, that story, written by author Kate DiCamillo, is a Hollywood movie starring Queen Latifah and Dennis Quaid.
Opening in theaters this weekend, The Tiger Rising was adapted by writer/director Ray Giarratana, and stars Christian Convery (best known from Netflix’s Sweet Tooth) as the young boy named Rob who forges a special connection with a wild, caged tiger. While Rob lets his imagination run wild, his life begins to change as he navigates through childhood memories, heartache, and wondrous adventures.
It’s sure to be a heartwarming and uplifting watch for all ages. But in the new era of movies on streaming, it can be confusing to know where to watch new films. Never fear, because Decider is here to help. Read on to find out where to watch The Tiger Rising and when to expect The Tiger Rising on streaming.
WHERE TO WATCH THE TIGER RISING:
For now, the only way to watch The Tiger Rising is to go to a movie theater. The Tiger Rising will open in theaters in the U.S. on January 21, 2022. You can find tickets at a theater near you here.
After the movie’s two-week theatrical run, you will be able to rent The Tiger Rising on-demand on digital platforms like Amazon Prime, iTunes, YouTube, Google Play, and more on February 8, 2022.
WILL THE TIGER RISING BE ON HBO MAX?
No. The Tiger Rising is not a Warner Bros. movie, and therefore will not be streaming on HBO Max when it opens in theaters. More than that, HBO Max will no longer be streaming theatrical movies in 2022. Last year, Warner Media opted to simultaneously release its theatrical slate on streaming, meaning HBO Max subscribers could watch movies like Matrix Resurrections at home. This year, however, Warner Bros. theatrical movies will have a 45-day theaters-only run before moving to HBO Max.
IS THE TIGER RISING ON NETFLIX?
No. The Tiger Rising is not on Netflix. While the movie may be on Netflix someday, it likely won’t be any time soon.
WHEN WILL THE TIGER RISING BE STREAMING? THE TIGER RISING VOD RELEASE DATE:
The Tiger Rising will release on digital and on demand on February 8, 2022, after just a little over two weeks in theaters. At that time, you will be able to purchase the film on platforms like Amazon Prime, iTunes, YouTube, Google Play, Vudu, and more. You don’t have long to wait!
