Netflix has a heartbreaking update for ‘Now You See Me’ fans
Netflix is doing it again, mending and breaking hearts all the same. This time, the streaming giant is coming for the Now You See Me fans just in time for the sequel buzz to grow for Now You See Me: Now You Don’t.
The streamer has a habit of pulling the rug from under every time the audience gets cosy and starts organising their streaming plans. The Now You See Me movies are clearly no exception. They are set to depart Netflix just before Now You See Me: Now You Don’t pulls up in the theatres on November 14th.
In case you were saving the first two instalments for the perfect recap ahead of the long-awaited release, this news is about to break hearts. Both films are leaving Netflix on October 1st. This means you have 14 more days to make the most of their tenures. So, please act fast.
Now You See Me and Now You See Me 2 were added to the platform on June 1st. Perhaps, to capitalise on the sequel’s anticipation, and it rightly did so, making sure it rises through the charts. Currently, Netflix is the only streaming platform that’s your one-stop solution for the franchise’s continuous rerun. No other streaming counterpart has two movies which viewers can sit with and finish in one go ready for the third.
Those interested in rewatching the movies should do so now before the train leaves the station. Sure, they are available for rent and purchase through VOD on Amazon Prime and Apple TV+. But on Netflix, this is your one last chance with two weeks in hand.
It’s highly possible that Amazon could be the new home for the Now You See Me movies in the future, given Lionsgate’s new deal with the streamer, allowing Prime Video to select exclusive titles from their catalogue. The deal already includes John Wick, The Hunger Games, Twilight, and most importantly, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t.
In addition to Now You See Me and Now You See Me 2, Netflix is also removing several other significant movies, including The Departed, Rush Hour, and Focus. But considering the sequel release is just on the horizon, make this reminder count. So, stream the Now You See Me movies before the time’s up on Netflix.
