Den of Thieves 2: Pantera—an action thriller starring Gerard Butler and O’Shea Jackson Jr.—is new in theaters.
R-rated, Den of Thieves 2 – Panther is the long-awaited sequel to the 2018 hit Den of Thieves, starring Butler, Jackson, Pablo Schreiber, and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
The official logline for the sequel reads, “In Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, Big Nick (Butler) is back on the hunt in Europe and closing in on Donnie (Jackson), who is embroiled in the treacherous and unpredictable world of diamond thieves and the infamous Panther mafia, as they plot a massive heist of the world’s largest diamond exchange.”
Written and directed by original Den of Thieves filmmaker Christian Gudegast, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera plays in Thursday previews before opening in theaters nationwide on Friday.
Currently, the only way to see Den of Thieves 2: Pantera is in theaters, so check your local listings for showing times. After that, the movie’s first choice for home entertainment will be premium video-on-demand virtual streaming.
While some studios take a wait-and-see approach to PVOD releases that are related to a film’s financial success, others follow a set pattern. Den of Thieves 2: Pantera studio Lionsgate tends to follow a pattern with its films, which generally have a three-week to one-month window in theaters before they become available on PVOD.
For example, Lionsgate’s remake of The Crow and the film adaptation of the video game Borderlands debuted in PVOD 3 weeks after their theatrical release, while it took the studio just over a month for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever to appear on virtual streaming.
As such, audiences can expect Den of Thieves 2: Panther to arrive in PVOD anytime between January 31 and February 7.
According to an agreement between Lionsgate and STARZ, Den of Thieves 2: Panther will be released first on the STARZ app.
However, the wait for Lionsgate films to appear on STARZ is much longer than the time between the studio’s theatrical debut and PVOD debut. On average, the theatrical window for STARZ SVOD is five to six months.
For example, The Crow is taking just under six months to arrive on STARZ (Aug. 23, 2024, theatrical opening/Feb. 19 SVOD debut), while The Best Christmas Pageant Ever will take about five months before it starts streaming on STARZ (Nov. 10, 2024, theatrical opening/March 31 SVOD).
Likewise, Lionsgate’s Borderlands took about five months to debut on STARZ (August 9, 2024, theatrical release/December 24, 2024, SVOD debut).
As such, audiences can expect to see Den of Thieves 2: Pantera on STARZ through June 7 and July 4.
Den of Thieves 2: Pantera opens on Thursday before hitting national theaters on Friday.
