And What Streaming Service It Will Come To
While no official streaming release date has been announced forSmurfsyet, a guess can be made based on its production company.Smurfsis produced by Paramount Animationand distributed by Paramount Pictures, meaning that it will most likely follow the release schedule of many of Paramount’s other films.
Based on 15 Paramount releases since the beginning of 2023, the company’s movies hit streaming on average 64.7 days after their theatrical releases. However,Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One’s 197-day window sways this number heavily, and when excluded the average drops to 54.5 days.
