“One Night Only,” a romantic comedy directed by Will Gluck and written by Travis Braun, opened in theaters nationwide on Friday, August 7. The film stars Monica Barbaro as a singer seeking true love through a single romantic encounter and Callum Turner as a pizza shop owner who has recently experienced a breakup. The movie has garnered online attention for its premise, which has been described as "the sex purge movie."
Despite its unconventional premise, "One Night Only" achieved an opening weekend domestic box office gross of over $5.7 million. For those who prefer to watch at home, the movie is not yet available online or for streaming. Its theatrical run is its sole release platform for now.
Digital Release and Streaming
Universal Pictures, the film's distributor, typically releases mid-budget movies on premium video-on-demand approximately one month after their theatrical debut. Based on this pattern, "One Night Only" is anticipated to be available for digital purchase or rent in early to mid-September 2026.
The film is also expected to begin streaming on Peacock around December 2026. This projection is based on the release schedule of another Universal film, "You Me And Tuscany," which became available on Peacock about four months after its theater opening. If "One Night Only" follows a similar timeline, it could be available on digital platforms in early September 2026 and on Peacock by early December 2026. However, some Universal films have had shorter windows, appearing on Peacock as early as three or two months after their theatrical release, suggesting a potential streaming debut on Peacock as early as November 2026.
Peacock offers two subscription tiers: Premium, which includes advertisements, and Premium Plus, which is ad-free. The Premium subscription costs $10.99 per month, while Premium Plus is $16.99 per month. Annual plans are available, offering 12 months for the price of 10, at $109.99 with ads or $169.99 without ads. Premium Plus subscriptions can also be accessed through Amazon Prime Video, which includes a seven-day free trial not offered through direct Peacock subscriptions.
Universal Pictures has not maintained a consistent release strategy across all its titles, making these dates speculative. For immediate viewing, attending a theatrical screening remains the only option.
