‘Weapons’ OTT Release: Watch the $260 Million Horror Hit in India

One of the most profitable and critically acclaimed horror films of 2025, Weapons, has officially landed on OTT in India. Directed by Zach Cregger, the film is now streaming on JioHotstar. This release gives a second life to the movie that dominated the summer box office, grossing a massive $269.1 million worldwide.
The story of Weapons is centered on a bizarre and tragic mystery in the town of Maybrook. The peace is broken when 17 children disappear all at once on a Wednesday morning. They leave their beds and run into the darkness, never to return. The film follows the investigation and the emotional toll this event takes on the residents.
Julia Garner and Josh Brolin lead a stellar cast. Garner plays the teacher of the missing students, who becomes a suspect as the town desperately seeks answers. The tension between the townspeople and the teacher drives much of the film’s conflict. The cast also includes Austin Abrams and Benedict Wong, who deliver strong supporting performances.
The film’s journey to the screen began with a legendary bidding war in 2023. New Line Cinema paid $38 million to acquire the rights, beating out a bid from Universal that was $7 million lower. Jordan Peele was among those interested in producing, highlighting the high regard the industry held for the script.
Now available on JioHotstar, Weapons is accessible to a broad audience in India. The platform announced the release with a promo video that captures the eerie essence of the film. Whether you are revisiting the film or watching it for the first time, Weapons delivers a compelling mix of horror and drama.
