In short
- HBO Max says The End of Oak Street starts streaming on Friday, November 13, exclusively on the service and in its first streaming release anywhere.
- HBO’s channel shows the film on Saturday, November 14, at 8:00 p.m. ET. David Robert Mitchell wrote and directed it.
- Warner Bros. lists an August 14 theatrical release, so the streaming date comes 91 days later, by our count. The film can already be bought digitally.
- By our count, two other Warner Bros. films reached HBO Max this year 77 and 84 days after opening, each on a Friday with an HBO airing the next night.
The End of Oak Street, the Warner Bros. Pictures film starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, will be on HBO Max from Friday, November 13, the service announced on Friday, November 6. It is the film’s first streaming release anywhere, and HBO Max will be the only service carrying it. HBO’s cable channel follows with a showing on Saturday, November 14, at 8:00 p.m. ET. The film was not on the list of November titles HBO Max published on October 22, so the November 6 release adds it to the month.
What the film is
David Robert Mitchell wrote and directed the film, and Maisy Stella and Christian Convery complete the main cast. In HBO Max’s synopsis, an unexplained event in space lifts Oak Street out of its suburb and sets the whole neighborhood down somewhere nobody recognizes, and the Platt family can only get through what follows by staying together.
J.J. Abrams is one of the producers, alongside Hannah Minghella, Jon Cohen, Matt Jackson, Tommy Harper and Mitchell himself. Chris Bender, Jake Weiner, Joanne Lee and Leeann Stonebreaker are the executive producers, according to the release.
Thirteen weeks from theaters to streaming
Warner Bros.’ page for the film gives its theatrical release as August 14, 2026. The same page says it is now available to buy digitally, and that 4K, Blu-ray and DVD copies can be pre-ordered. By our count, November 13 is 91 days, exactly 13 weeks, after the theatrical date.
That gap fits a pattern in this year’s Warner Bros. releases. We matched the theatrical dates on the studio’s own film pages with the dates in HBO Max’s streaming announcements for the films where both were available.
| Film | Label in HBO Max’s release | In theaters | On HBO Max | Days later | On HBO’s channel |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mortal Kombat II | New Line Cinema | May 8 | Fri., July 24 | 77 | Sat., July 25, 8:00 p.m. ET |
| Evil Dead Burn | New Line Cinema / Warner Bros. Pictures | July 10 | Fri., Oct. 2 | 84 | Sat., Oct. 3, 8:00 p.m. ET |
| The End of Oak Street | Warner Bros. Pictures | Aug. 14 | Fri., Nov. 13 | 91 | Sat., Nov. 14, 8:00 p.m. ET |
All three reached HBO Max on a Friday and aired on HBO at 8:00 p.m. ET the following night, and in each case HBO Max called it the film’s global streaming debut. The gaps work out at 11, 12 and 13 weeks. HBO Max announced Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (streaming from July 3) and DC Studios’ Supergirl (from September 10) in the same format, but we could not find a theatrical date for either on Warner Bros.’ site, so they are left out of the table.
Where it sits on HBO Max
The release places the film in a catalog that, HBO Max says, includes the Oscar winners One Battle After Another and Sinners. One Battle After Another won Best Picture at the 98th Academy Awards, the Academy’s records show.
That leaves two ways to watch at home: the digital purchase Warner Bros. offers now, and HBO Max from November 13. Netflix’s films move from theaters to streaming much faster, as our November theaters guide shows, and our plan comparison has what each HBO Max tier cost when we checked in late October.
Dates are as HBO Max and Warner Bros. gave them on the pages we checked on November 10, 2026, and can change. We have not seen the film; the description comes from HBO Max’s release.
