Love it or hate it, you can’t deny that people are curious about “the sex purge movie,” aka One Night Only, which opened in theaters nationwide last Friday.
Directed by Will Gluck (known for his other popular romantic comedies like Easy A and Anyone But You), with a screenplay from the twisted mind of Travis Braun, One Night Only stars Monica Barbaro as a singer who is single and decides to use her “one night” of sex to find true love, after years of getting ghosted. She happens to meet Owen (Callum Turner), a pizza shop owner who’s recently been dumped by his longtime girlfriend (Maya Hawke). Can these two lovebirds make a true love connection in just one night?
Because of it’s absurd premise, One Night Only has become something a meme online. But hey, all press is good press, right? While it’s not racking up the same kind of numbers as Spider-Man and The Odyssey, One Night Only earned over $5.7 million at the domestic box office for its opening weekend, which is a solid start. But if you’re not up to going to theaters for this one, we understand. Read on to find out when and where the One Night Only movie will be streaming.
Where to watch the One Night Only movie:
One Night Only will only available to watch in a movie theater, when it opens in the U.S. on Friday, August 7, in theaters nationwide. You can find a showing near you via Fandango. One Night Only is not yet available to watch online or on streaming.
When will the One Night Only movie be on digital to buy or rent?
You might see the One Night Only digital release date in about one month, around early-to-mid September 2026, at which point you will be able to buy or rent the movie online.
One Night Only is being distributed by Universal Pictures, and with some exceptions, most mid-budget Universal movies like this tend to release on premium video-on-demand about one month after they open in theaters. For One Night Only, that would be around early-to-mid September 2026.
When will the One Night Only movie be streaming free on Peacock?
You might see One Night Only streaming on Peacock around December 2026.
The One Night Only streaming release date on Peacock has not yet been announced, but you will likely see the One Night Only movie streaming on Peacock later this year. Another Universal release, You Me And Tuscany, will begin streaming on Peacock about four months after the movie opened in theaters.
If One Night Only follows a similar release pattern, you might see the movie on digital in about a month, around early September 2026, and streaming on Peacock around early December 2026. That said, other Universal movies have taken just three, or even two months to come to Peacock, so you may see One Night Only on Peacock even earlier, around November 2026.
Peacock currently offers two subscription types: Premium with ads and Premium Plus ad-free. Peacock Premium costs $10.99/month, while Premium Plus costs $16.99/month.
You can save a bit by subscribing to one of Peacock’s annual plans, which give you 12 months for the price of 10. These cost either $109.99 with ads or $169.99 without ads.
Peacock Premium Plus is also available to subscribe to via Prime Video with a seven-day free trial that you can’t get by subscribing directly on Peacock.
This is all speculation. Universal has not had a consistent digital release strategy. It varies by title. If you want to watch the One Night Only movie right away, your best bet is to catch the movie in theaters.
