Paramount has yet to announce a streaming date for IF. However, throughout 2023, Paramount brought its movies to its streaming platform roughly 45 days after their theatrical debuts (except for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One). Should Paramount stick with that cadence, you can expect IF to hit Parmount+ in early July.
