The new DreamWorks Animation movie is already in theaters and will eventually come to Netflix in the months and years to come. When can you expect the new movie to drop? Here is our esteemed guide.
Announced seemingly out of nowhere, Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken hit theaters in late June 2023 and hasn’t gotten off to the best start (maybe a euphemism) on the box office charts.
Among the excellent voice cast assembled for the film are Jaboukie Young-White, Lana Condor, Nicole Byer, Eduardo Franco, Ramona Young, Annie Murphy, Colman Domingo, and Will Forte.

As we’ve covered extensively, Netflix shares what’s known as the first window. That’s when its theatrical run ended, physical release also occurred, and then it heads to streaming for the first time.

It’s almost certain, since Netflix distributes a lot of Universal movies (live action and animation), but not on any particular schedule.
Netflix Canada, India, Greece, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Hong Kong tend to get new DreamWorks movies around two years after their theatrical release date. We expect the film to reach those territories in 2025.
Most European and Latin American territories tend to get new DreamWorks movies around three years after release (that would mean 2026).
Anywhere else you would probably have to wait longer, unfortunately.
