Trying to save on movie tickets? Be sure to check out movie theater subscription and membership deals. Run by many US and UK cinemas, these deals offer discounted ticket prices or a monthly flat-rate for a certain number of tickets, as well as other perks including concession and exclusive events and deals.
Is Firestarter streaming?
Starting May 13, Firestarter is also available to stream at home for anyone who is signed up for Peacock Premium streaming service. As Peacock is exclusive to US subscribers, only those in the US can stream the movie at the time of its release.
While there is a free version of Peacock, Peacock Premium does require a paid monthly subscription to gain access to new and premium content like Firestarter. There are two options for Peacock Premium, as there is an ad-supported version for $4.99 per month and an ad-free version that goes for $9.99 per month.
Peacock is set up to be the first streaming home for new Universal Pictures and Focus Features movies. Not all are available to stream immediately with their release in movie theaters, but certain movies are getting that treatment, like Marry Me or Halloween Kills.
