Directed by Day Shift director J.J. Perry, the R-rated action comedy opened in theaters on September 13. The film also stars Sofia Boutella, Scott Adkins and Terry Crews.
Released by Lionsgate, the logline for The Killer’s Game reads, “When top hitman Joe Flood (Bautista) is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he decides to take matters into his own hands—by taking a hit out on himself. But when the very hitmen he hired also target his ex-girlfriend (Boutella), he must fend off an army of assassin colleagues and win back the love of his life before it’s too late.”
According to When to Stream, The Killer’s Game is expected to be released on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Friday, October 4. Typically accurate with its streaming release date reports, When to Stream noted that Lionsgate has not officially announced or confirmed the PVOD release date and it is subject to change.
Per Prime Video, The Killer’s Game is available for pre-order for $24.99 on PVOD. Pre-order prices are typically a reflection of the PVOD purchase price and digital rentals are typically $5 less. As such, viewers can expect to rent The Killer’s Game for $19.99 for a 48-hour period that begins once the renter begins watching the movie.
