Rami Malek and Laurence Fisburne’s 2025 spy thriller The Amateur is just days away from hitting theaters nationwide. The Amateur is one of several exciting new movie releases this week, along with Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza’s Warefare and the Christopher Landon (Disturbia, Freaky) thriller Drop. Directed by James Hawes (Slow Horses, One Life), The Amateur is based on the 1981 novel of the same name by Robert Littell, the renowned author of The Company.

The Amateur was previously adapted into a film in 1981 by screenwriter Diana Maddox and director Charles Jarrott. The original film starred John Savage, Marthe Keller, and the late Christopher Plummer. 2025’s The Amateur not only features performances by Malek and Fishburne but also includes Rachel Brosnahan, Jon Bernthal, and Holt McCallany in its cast as well. The film is rated PG-13 for some stronger violence and language and has a total runtime of 2 hours and 3 minutes.

When Will The Amateur Release On Streaming?

Its Projected To Release On Hulu/Disney+ In Late June 2025

The Amateur will eventually be available to stream on Hulu and potentially Disney+ since it is a Disney/20th Century release. The Amateur could arrive on these streaming platforms as early as June 2025 but factors such as critical acclaim and box office success will determine its exact release on Hulu and Disney+.

The Amateur won’t be able to stream on any other streaming service, so viewers who wish to wait for the film to hit a streaming platform will have to subscribe to Hulu or Disney+ later this year. The Amateur is currently projected for a late June 2025 streaming release window.

When Will The Amateur Release On Digital?

It Should Be Available To Buy/Rent On VOD In May Or June

The Amateur should arrive on at-home video on demand in late May or early June 2025. Again, factors such as critical acclaim and box office success will have an effect on these projections. If the film is a box office hit, then it will likely not be available to rent or purchase on VOD until June. If the film is less successful, it could feasibly hit VOD in early to mid-May. Based on The Amateur’s stellar cast and experienced director, it should be fairly well-received as it heads into a compeтιтive opening box office weekend.
