Universal's deal with Peacock brings the year's biggest hits to the platform, including Despicable Me 4 and Twisters.
The star-studded cast of The Fall Guy, led by Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, has helped drive ticket sales to over $177 million.

An official streaming release date for the recent David Leitch hit The Fall Guy has landed, with the movie set to launch on Peacock on August 30, 2024. This comes almost four months following the movie's May 3 theatrical release, with the stunt-tastic action comedy ready to race into living rooms across the country. However, that's not all, as it has also been officially confirmed that, alongside the theatrical version of the movie, a special extended cut will be available on Peacock on the same date. This extended cut will add an extra 20 minutes of high-octane fun, with never-before-scene footage taking the run-time for the Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt flick from 126 minutes to 146 minutes.

The Fall Guy's streaming release on Peacock is thanks to a deal with Universal, with the production company's biggest hits of the year getting their first streaming debut on the platform. This includes some of the best-loved films in recent memory, from the likes of Oppenheimer and Kung Fu Panda 4 to Monkey Man and Trolls Band Together. Even some notable titles currently in theaters will soon make their way to the platform, including both Despicable Me 4 and Twisters, two movies that have proven major successes at the current Box Office. The star-studded and hotly-anticipated Wicked will debut on Peacock in 2025.
