Weapons, the horror film that took the box office by storm in 2025, is now available for streaming in India. JioHotstar has secured the rights to the film, which was directed by Zach Cregger. The movie grossed an impressive $269.1 million worldwide, making it a certified blockbuster.
The story is set in the fictional town of Maybrook, where a tragedy occurs on a Wednesday morning. 17 children wake up and run into the night, disappearing forever. The film explores the mystery behind this event and the dark forces that may be responsible.
Julia Garner plays the class teacher who is accused of being involved in the disappearances. Her performance is a highlight of the film, as is the work of co-star Josh Brolin. The cast is rounded out by Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, and Benedict Wong.
The film was a hot property in Hollywood, with New Line Cinema paying $38 million to acquire it. The studio beat out Universal in a bidding war that took place in January 2023. The investment paid off, as the film became one of the top horror releases of the year.
JioHotstar’s release allows fans to watch the film at their convenience. The platform announced the premiere with a social media post that captures the film’s eerie tone. Weapons is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys a good mystery.
