Beware foodies, The Menu looks to offer up a hilariously dark take on fine dining culture and some of the types of people who partake in it. If that sounds appetizing to you, then great, because The Menu is now playing around the world.

Starring Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult and from creatives who have worked together on the hit series Succession, The Menu sees a group upper-class diners head to a private island for a special tasting experience with a world-renowned chef. However, the chef's elaborate menu is far from what they expected.

Here's how you can watch The Menu right now.

How to watch The Menu in movie theaters

The Menu is currently playing in movie theaters in the US, UK and other locations around the world. To find out where The Menu is playing near you, you can check the website of your local theater to see if it is playing there, or you can find out everywhere it is playing near you with Fandango.

Trips to the movie theater can be expensive, so if you’re interested in trying to make it more affordable, you should look into movie theater subscription and membership deals. Offered by many US and UK movie theater chains, these programs offer discounted tickets, occasional free tickets or a monthly allotment of tickets at a flat rate, as well as deals on concessions and more. These can also be a good gift if you have a movie fanatic in your life this holiday season.

Is The Menu streaming?

The Menu is now being served on streaming services, but it differs depending on where you are. In the US, The Menu is streaming exclusively on HBO Max, while in the UK, the movie is available to stream on Disney Plus. Both streaming services require a subscription to watch The Menu.

If you would rather not sign up for a monthly subscription, The Menu is also available to rent or purchase through digital on-demand.
