Barbie has conquered Barbieland, she’s conquered Ken’s Mojo Dojo Casa House, and she’s even conquered box office records. But now the Barbie movie is ready to take over its next great frontier, digital. Folks out there may think about dying, but they also may think about how they’re dying to watch Barbie again. But soon, they won’t have to leave the comfort of their homes to see the hit movie for the hundredth time. (Although we advise that you still wear pink no matter where you’re watching Barbie.) According to Variety, Barbie has set its digital release date. But when exactly will Barbie be available to stream online? Barbie will release across digital platforms on September 5, 2023.
Currently, Barbie is available for pre-order on Amazon for $19.99. Amazon doesn’t technically offer a digital release date for Barbie. It only says, “Get this movie as soon as it becomes available.” As of the time of this posting, the September 5 date is widely reported. We’ll keep you updated if anything changes.
For now, we don’t know if the availability of Barbie for digital purchase means it will also soon arrive on streaming channels. Recently, we learned that Barbie would stream on Max sometime this fall. And September 5 is spiritually part of the fall. However, given the steep price tag on Barbie‘s digital incarnation, we imagine the movie will land on the streaming channel a little bit later on in the year. We’ll have to wait and see. We hope Barbie will get a physical release as well as a digital one. Ideas are forever, but they become a bit more tangible when we can hold them in our hands.
Happily, while we wait for a digital version to emerge, Barbie is still very much in theaters. So you can head back into the Barbie Land sooner rather than later and proudly say, “Hi Barbie!”
