Why isn't 'Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins' on Paramount+


It's been 137 days (from when this was written) since 'Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins' was released in theaters and 45 days later, it's a no show at Paramount+. Lots of people were anticipating and waiting to watch the movie there. So why isn't the movie streaming on Paramount+?

To recap the whole 45-day window, ViacomCBS revised their deal with Epix to stream their biggest movies onto Paramount+ under 30-45 days after its release in theaters.

But what has been barely noted to lots of people was that most movies would still honor the regular Pay 1 window to Epix before the revised deal under some flexibility. So after a movie without the Paramount+ accommodation was released onto theaters, it goes to Epix exclusively for 90 days until its goes to Paramount+ (and Hulu as both have the white labels to Epix movies).

So when will 'Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins' come to Epix and (eventually) Paramount+?

Next month. Snake Eyes will premiere on Epix on January 17, 2022, and in 90 days, it should stream on Paramount+ presumably April 17, 2022.

I know that was a lot of information but it should now give you a good idea of why a specific movie did not hit Paramount+ after 45 days. The next movie that may get the same treatment is 'Scream', which comes next month, so don't be surprised.
