How to Watch Despicable Me 4 Now
The new film in the Despicable Me series is now available exclusively in theaters.
The film premiered in the United States on July 3, 2024. Tickets can be purchased on the AMC and Fandango websites.
UK viewers can get tickets from Cineworld, Odeon and Vue.
Here is the trailer for the film:
When could Despicable Me 4 be released on VOD?
Universal Pictures, which distributes the Despicable Me series, has not yet revealed any information about the digital release of the new film. However, we will try to estimate when the film could be released on VOD platforms.
It depends on how Despicable Me 4 performs at the box office.
The previous film in the franchise, the smash hit Minions: Gru, was released on VOD two months after its theatrical release. Another smash hit, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, was available for rental and purchase a month and a half after its release.
However, box office disappointments like Fast X, The Last Voyage of Demeter and The Fall Guy appeared on VOD just three weeks after their theatrical debuts.
So far, it looks like Despicable Me 4 is doing well at the box office, so Universal likely won’t rush its digital release.
So the film could be released on VOD in end of August or beginning of September 2024.

When could Despicable Me 4 be released on DVD/Blu-ray?
Physical copies of Universal films typically arrive in stores a month or two after their VOD release. However, this time frame can vary depending on the film. The Super Mario Bros. movie was released on DVD and Blu-ray after four weeks, Fast X after eight weeks, and The Fall Guy after nine weeks.
On the other hand, physical copies of Minions: 10 Years After Gru became available for purchase only a week after its VOD release.
If our predictions above are correct, Despicable Me 4 could be released on DVD and Blu-ray this fall, likely in early October 2024.
When could Despicable Me 4 be released on streaming services?
In the US, the new Despicable Me movie will first air on Peacock. The movie will then air on Netflix, and after a few months, it will return to Peacock. Finally, Despicable Me 4 will air on Prime Video.
Universal films are typically available to stream a month or a month and a half after their DVD release. There have been a few exceptions, however. For example, Minions: Gru’s Journey was released on Peacock two weeks after the physical copies were released.
We estimate that Despicable Me 4 could arrive on streaming in the United States in end of October or beginning of November 2024.
