Don’t Worry Darling is coming to HBO Max next week, darling
Here's your chance to see Harry Styles and Florence Pugh without leaving your suspiciously perfect house

By most accounts, the behind-the-scenes stories about Don’t Worry Darling were more interesting than the movie itself (which is saying something, since the behind-the-scenes stories quickly became exhausting in their own right, and we’re as excited as anyone to someday put this movie and the missing comma in its title in our rearview mirror permanently), but soon you’ll be able to see what all of the drama was in service of when Don’t Worry Darling premieres on HBO Max. Was it worth it? Probably not, but the movie was made by a bunch of famous people, so they’ll be fine.
HBO Max announced today that Don’t Worry Darling will be available to stream on November 7, which is a week from today (and a little over a month after the movie opened in theaters). For those who missed the lead-up to the release, Don’t Worry Darling is about mysterious stuff happening in a mysterious town. It stars Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, it does not star Shia LaBeouf, Pugh and director Olivia Wilde did not scream at each other on set, and Harry Styles did not spit on Chris Pine. So… nothing happened and everybody got along fine while they were making it. That’s nice!
Whatever happened, all of the talk about what happened led to moderate box office success (Box Office Mojo puts it at $85 million worldwide), and a relatively quick jump to streaming can only really help a movie in this position. Now—or next week—people can see what the big deal was without having to go outside or spend $100 taking the family to the theaters (you shouldn’t do that, though, since Don’t Worry Darling wasn’t really a family movie).

we’re as excited as anyone to someday put this movie and the missing comma in its title in our rearview mirror permanentlyI mean, you could just as easily have left such breaking news as “movie arriving on streaming service” to some kind of weekly feature that rounds up all the movies arriving on streaming service and spared yourself this horrible inconvenience of writing about a movie that exhausts you so much.

It’s crazy that Don’t Worry Darling will be streaming and yet Keanu Reeves still walks the Earth!
There’s only one thing that can bring us all back together – that sweet, sweet Laurel Canyon Sound.
Anne Hathaway used to prompt a collective reaction from us all as well.
“(and a little over a month after the movie opened in theaters)“
It’s almost like they announced last year that this year’s output would be going to HBO Max 45 days after theatrical release, isn’t it?
Don’t worry, Florence. You’re really pretty; you don’t need to know how eggs work.
She’s looking for Harry Style’s sex appeal. She’ll be a while.
excellent.
Now, see, I’m torn. I want to watch it for the always-brilliant Florence Pugh but then, I also want to watch it and mock that ever-lasting black hole of mediocrity that is Harry Styles and also because I want to laugh at whats-her-name-the-one-who-clearly-paid-these-backstreet-shills-for-coverage’s “direction”. Whatever is this rampant gay bitch to do?!
“Mediocrity” is being kind.
