No matter how many genres we are introduced to, there will always be a separate niche that enjoys the glory of blood violence, where people take down their foes with their kicks, punches, weapons, and swords. There is no way we are ever going to be bored by that, and many of us will continue to enjoy it, of course, to different degrees. Jason Statham has made a career out of this genre, and films where the actor is seen as a guy with no bruises or blood seem alien to us in the first 15 minutes. Even he understands that his fans want him to take down hordes of men in combat and come out alive and stronger than ever, and for that, his latest dose for his lovers was The Beekeeper. It was a movie that made all the buzz when it was released, and people fell in love with the actor and his craft all over again.
In its theatrical release, The Beekeeper managed to make enough buzz that people knew which film was in the theatres right now regardless of whether they bought a ticket or not. But there is a wide audience in India that has been waiting for the film to finally hit streaming platforms where they can see Statham fight the world while being in the comfort of their homes. It turns out the wait is finally over, and the makers have now announced the platform and the release date.
Where & When Is The Beekeeper Releasing?
The Beekeeper, which entered production back in September 2022 and was announced in late 2023, finally hit the big screens on January 12, 2024. The movie was received with open arms and even with its flaws, it was lapped up because the pros were heavier than the cons, and that was quite evident. It turns out the wait for the home viewing of the Jason Statham starrer is over now, as the movie is finally about to stream in India. As per the latest update, the film is all set to stream on Lionsgate Play, which has been bringing some of the most celebrated movies from across the globe to the country.
