While the fans wait for the second half Evil Set to be released in 2025, the original film is dominating with critics and at the box office. Behind a cast led by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, it is already considered the highest-grossing musical adaptation in history.

Per Deadline, NBCUniversal has signed a deal with Peacock that will see its films stream there for the first four months of their streaming run. The films then go to Netflix for the next 10 months and back to Peacock for another four months.

Also keep in mind how long Universal films take to stream after their theatrical release.

This year Abigail It took 91 days to start streaming after it hit theaters, while both The Guy case And Twister lasted 119 days after their respective premiere dates:

• Abigail
  • Cinema: April 19, 2024
  • Streaming: July 19, 2024 (91 days)
• The Guy case
  • Cinema: May 3, 2024
  • Streaming: August 30, 2024 (119 days)
• Twister
  • Cinema: July 19, 2024
  • Streaming: November 15, 2024 (119 days)

Bad part 1 is already a huge success at the box office, having grossed $360 million through December 1 (ten full days in theaters). This total is already the thirteenth highest grossing of 2024 and is only $10 million behind Twister‘ entire cinema run.

With that in mind, the aforementioned 119 day gap between theatrical and streaming releases is certainly the expectation, if not kept away from the small screen for even longer. That would be a line Evil set for a Peacock debut sometime in mid-to-late March 2025.

Bad part 1 plays in cinemas worldwide.
