When The Phoenician Scheme comes to the home entertainment market, its first stop will be on digital streaming via premium video on demand. The Phoenician Scheme’s studio, Focus Features, generally has a month window between the time its films open wide in theaters and arrive on PVOD.

For example, the studio’s acclaimed papal thriller, Conclave, opened in theaters on Oct. 25, 2024, and arrived on PVOD just over a month later, on Nov. 25. In addition, Focus Features’ hit vampire thriller, Nosferatu, premiered in theaters on Dec. 24, 2024, and made its PVOD debut just under a month later, on Jan. 21.

If The Phoenician Scheme follows the same release pattern, then viewers can expect the film to arrive on PVOD sometime around July 6, since new film titles generally debut on digital streaming on Tuesdays.

Which Streaming Service Will Get ‘The Phoenician Scheme’ First?

Since Focus Features is a subsidiary of Universal Pictures, The Phoenician Scheme will make its streaming video on demand debut on NBC Universal’s Peacock streaming platform.

Typically, there is a six-week to two-month window between Focus Features’ film releases in theaters and their debuts on Peacock.

For example, Conclave arrived on Peacock on Dec. 13, 2024, just shy of seven weeks after its Oct. 25 theatrical release. Nosferatu, meanwhile, debuted on Peacock on Feb. 21, just under two months after its Dec. 25, 2024, theatrical premiere.

If The Phoenician Scheme has the same release pattern as Conclave and Nosferatu, viewers can expect the film to arrive on Peacock anytime between Aug. 1 and Aug. 8, since new film releases on Peacock tend to arrive on Fridays.

The Phoenician Scheme opens in theaters in wide release on Friday.
