One of the most anticipated movies out of SXSW this spring, Dropis the latest from filmmaker Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day) and Blumhouse (M3GAN, Five Nights at Freddy's). Dubbed "solidly fun" and "a great date night movie" by Mashable's Film Editor, it's a popcorn thriller with some depth. It features The White Lotus star Meghann Fahy as its leading lady, alongside Brandon Sklenar (It Ends With Us), who are "a demented pleasure to watch."
If you missed it in theaters, you can now get in on the action at home. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Drop.
Written by Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach, Dropfollows widowed mother Violet (Fahy) as she gets back on the dating scene. On her first date in years, she starts receiving anonymous airdropped threats on her phone that put her son (Jacob Robinson) and babysitting sister (Violett Beane) at risk. As it turns out, a masked intruder is in her house and monitoring her every move. The only way she can save her family is by killing her date.
Check out the official trailer:
Despite a less-than-excellent opening weekend, debuting in fifth place at the box office — behind A Minecraft Movie, The King of Kings, The Amateur, and Warfare— Drophas already earned more than double its $11 million budget since its release. Earning $27.7 million worldwide to date, that's a pretty good sign for a low-budget horror. Critics and audiences both have been loving it to boot. Dropcurrently holds an 84 percent critic rating and 79 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes — a pretty impressive feat for a popcorn thriller.
"Jacobs and Roach's script is so full of twists that while you may see some coming, others will undoubtedly catch you by sweet surprise.Whether relishing in the situational comedy of an awkward first date or combatting mysterious and malevolent forces, Drop's characters are a demented pleasure to watch," Puchko writes in her review. "All of these successes mean that Drop is charming enough to make up for its biggest flaw. In the climax, when the plot takes a big swing with a dubious but pivotal kill, you might well eye-roll over the unlikelihood of such a demise, but you won't get the ick."

Credit: Universal Pictures It's time for audiences to show up for Dropfrom their couches. There are a couple ways to watch at the time of writing — and the streaming debut will expand your options at a later date. See the details below.
Drop made its at-home debut on major digital platforms (Prime Video, Apple TV, etc.) on April 29, 2025. The film is available to buy for $24.99 or rent for $19.99. While it's certainly tempting to save a few bucks and opt for the rental option, just be aware that you'll only get 30 days to watch the film and just 48 hours to finish it once you start. If you choose to buy it instead, then it's yours to keep.
Here are some quick links to rent or purchaseDrop:
Prime Video — buy for $24.99, rent for $19.99
Apple TV — buy for $24.99, rent for $19.99
Fandango at Home — buy for $24.99, rent for $19.99
Google Play — buy for $24.99, rent for $19.99
While Universal has yet to announce when Dropwill make its streaming debut, we know that as a Universal Pictures film, it'll premiere on Peacock. Based on the digital-to-streaming trajectory of previous Universal movies, it will most likely hit Peacock between the end of June and the end of July. Blumhouse's other recent horror flick, Wolf Man, and fellow Universal horror hit, Abigail, started streaming about two months after their digital debut, while other Universal films like Fall Guy and Twisters had a longer window of three months or so.
