Jennifer Lopez’s Kiss of the Spider Woman Is Headed to Streaming — Here’s When and Where to Watch

Quick update for anyone who missed it in theaters: Kiss of the Spider Woman is already heading to your living room. After a rough box office stint, Lionsgate is moving the stage-to-screen musical drama to digital right away. If this one slipped past you, here is where and when you can watch it, plus what the long game looks like for streaming.

What this movie actually is

Director Bill Condon adapts the classic stage musical into a prison-set drama about two cellmates who find connection through the story of a Hollywood musical. Jennifer Lopez plays the iconic Spider Woman figure in those movie-within-the-movie sequences, with Diego Luna and Tonatiuh leading the main storyline behind bars. It is a stylized, actor-forward piece, not a big four-quadrant studio musical, which matters for how it was rolled out.

Digital release plans (aka: you can watch it now)

Lionsgate is putting Kiss of the Spider Woman up to buy or rent on the usual VOD platforms starting November 11. That includes Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video's digital storefront, among others. It is hitting digital about a month after it first opened in theaters.

So when does it stream? Here is the likely path

There is no streaming date yet. But based on how Lionsgate typically windows its releases, expect a Starz debut first. After that, there is a separate multi-year pact Lionsgate signed with Amazon that kicks in starting in 2026, giving Prime Video an exclusive window after Starz and the ability to choose titles from Lionsgate's slate. Translation: once the Starz window is done, this could land on Prime Video — emphasis on could. The timing will depend on the film's digital performance and how awards season shakes out.

The box office reality (and why it stumbled)

This one struggled theatrically: about $1.6 million worldwide on a reported $30 million budget. You can chalk that up to a bunch of things: niche musical appeal, a softer marketing push, and getting squeezed by bigger, louder IPs in October. Creatively, it is built for a theatrical experience — you can tell that was the intent — but the audience never materialized. The silver lining is that VOD is often kinder to movies like this, especially when word-of-mouth is decent.

Awards watch and what that might change

Lionsgate is reportedly mounting an Oscars campaign, including a supporting acting push for Jennifer Lopez. If it picks up traction with guilds or the Academy, that could nudge the streaming window strategy. If not, the most realistic scenario is a Starz bow sometime next year and, if selected under the Amazon deal, a Prime Video landing in early 2026.

• VOD date: November 11 (buy/rent on Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, and other digital stores)
• Streaming: Not announced; likely Starz first, then possibly Prime Video under Lionsgate's 2026 Amazon deal
• Rotten Tomatoes: 77% Tomatometer, 67% Audience Score
• IMDb: 6.1
• Box office: $1.6M on a reported $30M budget

Bottom line: if you skipped it in theaters, the digital release is probably the better way to see it anyway — and this kind of movie tends to find its crowd at home. If you check it out, tell me if Lopez's turn works for you as much as the early reviews suggest.
