Hugh Jackman's latest film, "The Death of Robin Hood," is set to debut on digital streaming platforms this week after experiencing a disappointing run at the box office. Directed and written by Michael Sarnoski, known for "A Quiet Place: Day One" and "Pig," the R-rated movie released in theaters on June 19, 2026. It presents a dark reimagining of the Robin Hood legend, focusing on a gravely injured and morally conflicted hero seeking redemption while cared for by Jodie Comer's character, Sister Brigid.

The movie struggled commercially, earning just $2.8 million during its opening weekend across 1,687 North American theaters, and accumulating a worldwide total of $6 million against a $20 million production budget before marketing expenses. Despite some critical appreciation for its serious tone and Jackman's compelling portrayal, the audience reception was lukewarm, leading to its quick exit from theaters. On Rotten Tomatoes, critics gave it a modest 66% "fresh" rating, while audience scores were more unfavorable with a 56% "rotten" rating.

Starting July 28, "The Death of Robin Hood" will be available for purchase on premium video on demand (PVOD) platforms including Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home, and YouTube Movies & TV. The digital purchase price is set at $24.99, with rentals available for $19.99 for a 48-hour viewing window. This streaming release is the film’s opportunity to reach a broader audience and potentially recoup some of its financial losses after its theatrical disappointment.

The film also features actors Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett, and Noah Jupe, but was unable to build significant momentum from its reviews or word-of-mouth. While the story explores deeper themes around the complex humanity of the Robin Hood legend, its bleak and violent tone may have limited its appeal. Nonetheless, Jackman’s performance has been highlighted as a standout element, providing a strong anchor amidst the film’s overall mixed response from viewers.
