When is 'Smurfs' streaming? Here's our best guess
It just released in theaters, so if you're wanting to hear new Rihanna music or dance along in the aisles while the Smurfs turn every potential adjective into "Smurf" or "Smurfing" or some variant, you'll have to leave your home. Because as far as watching from home goes, there's no official streaming release date yet.
That said, we can make a solid guess. If you'd rather skip the theater, you likely won't have to wait much longer. Here's what we know about its home release schedule so far.
Looking to get your Smurf on? Right now, the only way to do so is by heading to the local cineplex. "Smurfs" is playing exclusively in theaters following its release on July 18.
There's no confirmed digital or streaming release date yet, but based on typical patterns for Paramount films, we can make an educated guess about when the movie will be available to watch at home.
Paramount generally follows a 45-day theatrical window before making its movies available to purchase or rent on digital platforms like Amazon's Prime Video, Apple TV, and Google Play. That puts "Smurfs" on track for a digital release sometime in late August 2025, possibly around Aug. 26.
After that, it's likely to begin streaming on Paramount Plus around mid-September. This two-month post-theatrical timeline mirrors what we've seen with other recent Paramount movies like "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem."

We'll update this page if there are any changes or official confirmations, as there have yet to be any from Paramount itself just yet.
"Smurfs" reimagines the classic cartoon and this time centers on Smurfette (Rihanna), who begins to question who she is in a world where every other Smurf seems to have a clear role: Baker Smurf bakes, Brainy Smurf thinks, but what exactly does she do?
That leads Smurfette to set off on a journey of self-discovery that takes her beyond the village she calls home. Along the way, she teams up with some familiar faces as well as some new allies to stop a dark and mysterious threat (spooky!) and uncover long-buried secrets about the Smurfs' origins.
Oh, and let's not forget: It's a musical. So if you didn't like that about the "Trolls" revival, it might not be the nostalgic return that you're looking for, but you might want to stick around anyway, because, well, Rih.

This $7 Old School Powder Perfects My Skin
For as long as I can remember, I've had an unwavering fascination for vintage aesthetics, be it midcentury furnishings, Old Hollywood films, or old school beauty products that you can still purchase in the modern day. It's no surprise then that, after discovering this one affordable and perfect-in-every-way setting powder several years ago, the Coty Airspun has remained a steadfast staple in my own makeup routine and probably always will. With a formula harkening back to 1935 — but now updated to be talc-free —the Airspun loose powder offers skin a silky soft veil, truly befitting a silver screen starlet of yesteryear. It manages to blur imperfections and enlarged pores, secure cream and liquid foundations in place and absorb any excess oil — all while feeling imperceptible on the skin.A major upside to the Airspun powder, which I've often seen compared to the luxurious (and expensive) likes of the Laura Mercier and the One/Size setting powders, is that it won't settle into fine lines. Even when I dab a light layer of this under my eyes and around the creases of my nose, it almost absorbs into and fuses with my skin, rather than lying on top of it and creating that dreaded cakey layer.I should also point out that, as someone with naturally very dry skin, I tend to steer far from any skin cosmetics that claim to be mattifying. Not only is my skin not compatible with these types of formulas, but I also detest the chalky finish that ultimately exaggerates any flaking or dryness I might have. Though advertised as a product to mattify, this cloud-like powder doesn't dry my skin out to an inch of its life. Rather, it gives it a soft and smoothed-over appearance that subdues any unwanted shine and almost airbrushes the complexion. Other fans of this vintage icon authenticate my Coty Airspun experience. 'I use this to set my foundation, and it doesn't crease, budge, move, or FLINCH all day,' one Amazon reviewer wrote. 'I am 47, with fine lines around my eyes, but everything else is rather oily. I set my foundation in the morning with this powder and literally don't even have to look at the rest of the day. ' Here's how I use it: After I finish applying my liquid foundation and cream products, I dab my trusty BeautyBlender Power Pocket Puff into a small amount of the loose powder shaken out into the lid, then press it into the skin on my T-zone only, specifically on around my nose, chin and center of the forehead. If I'm wearing a pencil or cream eyeliner, I'll even take a fluffy eye shadow brush and buff a very thin layer on top of the applied eyeliner and before my mascara to keep things completely is also one of the most economical cosmetic products in my kit. As I mentioned, I use the powder quite sparingly (you might want to use more if your skin is more oil-prone), so one 1.23 ounce-sized container literally lasts me years, and it only sets me back $7. I would be remiss if I forgot to mention one other component of this retro powder that, for me, adds to its signature nostalgia: the scent. While some may wrinkle their nose and cry 'granny smell!' I can't get enough, and I'm actually saddened when the slightly floral and distinctive powdery smell dissipates after just a few minutes. Imagine your great-grandmother's dressing table adorned with lipsticks and ornate bottles of perfume somehow captured in a fragrance — that's what Coty Airspun smells like. The Coty Airspun's beauty history runs deep, and so does its dedicated fanbase, which turns out to comprise more than just me. Read what other fans of this timeless and lighter-than-air powder have to say or grab yourself a compact from any of the featured retailers. Get it from Amazon for $6.74 (available in three shades and in two-packs).

How ‘The Studio' Producer Frida Perez Went From Seth Rogen's Assistant to Making Emmy History
As final-round Emmy voting approaches, Apple TV+'s The Studio has emerged as a serious contender, after tying the all-time nomination record for a comedy series with 23 nominations and becoming the most-nominated freshman comedy in Emmy history. The workplace satire's success could mark several historic milestones, particularly for Dominican-American producer Frida Perez, who stands on the cusp of making Emmy history. More from Variety With the Media, the Arts and Los Angeles Under Direct Attack, Here's What the Emmys Should Do Harrison Ford Goes Deep on 'Star Wars,' His First Emmy Nomination for 'Shrinking' and the Future of America: 'Rich Get Richer. Poor Get Poorer. That Ain't Right' Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen to Receive the TV Academy's Bob Hope Humanitarian Award at the Emmys If 'The Studio' wins outstanding comedy series, Perez would become the first Latina to take home a trophy in that category and only the second Latino ever to win as a producer in any top series race in Emmy history. Currently, only Cuban American Celia D. Costas holds that honor for HBO's 'Angels in America' in 2004. Perez, 29, has already made history as the first Latina nominated for outstanding writing in a comedy series for the pilot episode 'The Promotion,' which she shares with Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory. 'I think about my parents, honestly, because they came to America in the '80s, and they were born in the D.R.,' Perez tells Variety, paying tribute as a child of immigrants. 'They're both public school teachers in the South Bronx. I'm so proud of where I'm from. And I hope I won't be the last one.' The Bronx native's path to Hollywood began without industry connections. After graduating from Brown University, she worked her way up from Seth Rogen's assistant to co-creator and executive producer of 'The Studio.' 'I started as his assistant,' Perez explains. 'Because of that, you're just talking all day, every day. I was on set with him all the time, and we got to know each other, and he began to trust me.' Perez's rise exemplifies the critical importance of allyship in creating meaningful change within Hollywood's power structures. Rogen, an established producer and star, could have easily maintained traditional hiring practices, but instead recognized Perez's talent and elevated her to co-creator status. This type of backing from industry leaders proves essential for breaking down barriers that have historically excluded underrepresented voices from decision-making roles. 'When he gave me the 'creator' credit, everybody I talked to was like, 'Oh my God, he did not have to do that,'' Perez says. 'Most people, if it's your first writing gig, producing gig, would be like, 'Oh, thanks, have fun — staff writer.'' She emphasized Rogen's generosity in recognizing her contributions: 'I think he wouldn't have given it to me if I didn't work as hard as I did, but it is so nice, and there are so many things in the pilot that I was like, 'Yes, I was a huge part of that.'' Latina representation in Emmy's top categories remains scarce. In the comedy series category, Perez joins a select group that includes Selena Gomez, a four-time nominee for Hulu's 'Only Murders in the Building' and, now, the most-nominated Latino producer in Emmy history. Other trailblazers include Salma Hayek, nominated for ABC's 'Ugly Betty' in 2007, and Carla González Vargas, recognized for Netflix's 'Wednesday' in 2023. The inadequate representation extends across categories. Only three Latinos are nominated for acting this year: Pedro Pascal for 'The Last of Us' in lead drama actor, Liza Colón-Zayas from 'The Bear' in supporting comedy actress, and Colman Domingo in supporting comedy actor for 'The Four Seasons.'Perez's achievements come at a time when Hollywood continues its reckoning with equity and inclusion. Despite comprising roughly 20% of the U.S. population, Latinos remain dramatically underrepresented in key creative roles. 'The Studio,' which lampoons the inner workings of Hollywood through the story of executives at fictional Continental Studios, stars Emmy nominees Rogen, Kathryn Hahn, Catherine O'Hara and Ike Barinholtz, along with guest stars Bryan Cranston, Dave Franco, Anthony Mackie, Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard and Zoë Kravitz. One of the most memorable moments during 'The Studio's' production came when legendary director Martin Scorsese, now an Emmy acting nominee for guest comedy actor, filmed his appearance. Perez described the atmosphere on set as electric, with the entire crew treating the occasion with special reverence. 'It was like the President came to set,' Perez says, laughing at the comparison. 'Everybody got dressed up a little nice. Everybody's laughing. Everyone took a shower. Everyone got it together because literally everybody on that set has grown up with his movies.' The experience proved both thrilling and nerve-racking for the production team, with Perez noting how the crew wanted to ensure they didn't disappoint one of cinema's most celebrated filmmakers. Looking ahead to Season 2, Perez teased expanded ambitions: 'We want to make it better. We're constantly raising the bar, and we don't want to disappoint people a second time around. So we're just going to try to do crazy storylines, crazy locations, more glam, more stars.' Should 'The Studio' triumph on Emmy night, it would mark Apple TV+'s third win in the comedy category, following 'Ted Lasso's' back-to-back victories in 2021 and 2022. Moreover, it would demonstrate that Latino-led productions represent mainstream, award-worthy content that resonates with broad audiences, without having to be 'specifically about Latinos.' Win or lose, Perez's nominations are a seismic jolt to the system and a reminder that the future of TV won't be written solely by the usual 'studio' suspects — pun intended. The 77th Emmy Awards will be hosted by Nate Bargatze and broadcast live Sunday, Sept. 14, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS, as well as stream live and on demand via select packages on Paramount+.

Why Seth Rogen Is Becoming the New Nicole Kidman Across TV and Film: ‘I've Always Been Proud of Having a Lot of Output'
With a seemingly endless list of projects he's appearing in or is involved with, Seth Rogen jokes he could be the new Nicole Kidman. 'Put me on 'Lioness' now!' he says, laughing. But don't assume he's feeling overworked. 'I slept eight hours last night,' Rogen boasts. 'I do like to work and I like to shoot. I especially love being on set. I do tend to make a lot of things and, and always have. I've always kind of been proud of having a lot of output.' More from Variety How 'The Studio' Producer Frida Perez Went From Seth Rogen's Assistant to Making Emmy History Taron Egerton Shaved His Head and Bulked Up to Play an Ex-Con in 'She Rides Shotgun,' but 'There Was No Method Nonsense' Jessica Chastain Enrolls at Harvard Kennedy School to Get Masters Degree in Public Administration In October, Kidman explained her work ethic to me as well. 'I can create more work for people. I can create jobs for people,' she said. 'And also, I love it. I have the passion. I've just got to take care of my body. I wish I had superpowers because I would love to be everywhere.' I caught up with Rogen on Wednesday night at The Hammer Museum in Los Angeles at Season 2 premiere of his Apple TV+ comedy series 'Platonic.' In addition to 'Platonic' –where he and Rose Byrne return as best friends Will and Sylvia — Rogen has more than a dozen upcoming films and TV programs he's producing and has signed on to appear in close to 10. The highly addictive 'The Studio,' also from Apple TV+, is going into Emmys night in September with 23 nominations, including lead actor in a comedy series for Rogen. The show also earned Martin Scorsese his first acting nod for his guest spot. 'It's very weird,' Rogen said. 'The fact that he seemed very happy about it was very touching to me. I think deep down I was very afraid that he just regretted doing the show and then to see how happy he was about the nomination, and I was texting with his daughter [Francesca Scorsese] who was saying he was thrilled and he was very happy about it, so I feel great about it.' Will the famed director pop up in Season 2? 'We will try to rope him in,' Rogen said. Byrne talked about reuniting with Rogen for the second season of 'Platonic,' saying they're like family to each other now. Just ask Byrne's husband, Bobby Cannavale. 'He's like, 'Get me the weed,'' Byrne said, referring to Rogen's cannabis company Houseplant. '[Seth] is a man of many traits. He's a renaissance man.' 'Platonic' creators Nicholas Stoller and Francesca Delbanco joked about outdoing the guest star list of 'The Studio' if their show is picked up for a third season. 'We gotta up our game,' Stoller said. Delbanco quickly added, 'I think we get Spielberg for Season 3.'
