Streaming Rights Shake-up: Where 'The Witch' Has Landed for This Month
By Elena Rostova
The current home of The Witch traces back to an industry-wide pivot in indie film licensing. When A24 signed an expansive multi-year output deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, the agreement brought more than 100 catalog titles exclusively to the Max streaming service. That pact disrupted the distributor's prior piecemeal arrangements with Showtime, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video.
Under this framework, The Witch occupies a prominent spot inside Max’s dedicated A24 hub. Subscribers on the standard ad-supported tier ($9.99 monthly) and ad-free tiers ($16.99 to $20.99 monthly) can access the film instantly. The service provides a stable 1080p presentation for basic subscribers and a crisp 4K stream for those on the premium tier.
Platform stability is never absolute. Warner Bros. Discovery frequently sub-licenses older catalog assets to third-party ad-supported services like Tubi, Pluto TV, and The Roku Channel to monetize off-peak viewership. While Max maintains primary SVOD custody, non-exclusive AVOD windows routinely open for 30 to 60 days, temporarily offering Eggers' colonial nightmare for free with commercial interruptions.
