Emma Stone is one of today's best movie stars, and she's arguably in the most interesting phase of her career so far. After breaking out in comedies and establishing herself as a capable leading lady, she started throwing more complex, auteur-driven films into the mix, and quickly found herself in Oscars territory. After scoring her first nomination for Birdman in 2014, she won Best Actress for La La Land just two years later, capitalizing on a bond with three-time co-star Ryan Gosling that felt like the closest thing to an old-school Hollywood romantic pairing that could be found in the 2010s.

Since her first collaboration with director Yorgos Lanthimos, however, Stone has seemed to find another gear. She has featured prominently in the Greek filmmaker's last four features, and the partnership has seemed to creatively invigorate both, resulting in some of their best work to date. This has also coincided with her expansion into producing, and she was nominated for Best Picture in that capacity for Lanthimos' Poor Things, which also earned Stone her second Best Actress statuette.

As a producer, Emma Stone has championed some great films she didn't star in, including both I Saw the TV Glow and A Real Pain in 2024. But she also helped shepherd Bugonia to the silver screen, and with it, one of her most acclaimed performances to date. Now, with the latest Lanthimos/Stone film available on VOD from November 25, that performance is finally available to watch from the comfort of your own home – not that watching it will be all that comfortable.

Bugonia Is Now On Digital After Its Platform Release Failed To Ignite The Box Office

Yorgos Lanthimos movies seem to have two different paths when it comes to box office. Early in his career, he worked on small budgets and made solid indie returns, but he took a big step up with The Favourite, which cracked $95 million worldwide. He followed that up with Poor Things, which made strong use of its bigger budget and grossed $111 million globally, proving his partnership with Stone could be quite commercially potent. However, 2024's anthology Kinds of Kindness proved much less penetrable than those two and only made $16 million, back in the range of his previous work.

So far, Bugonia seems to have landed somewhere in the middle. In the film's second weekend, its first in wide release, it earned Lanthimos' best-ever wide weekend at $5 million domestic. However, its legs haven't been what the studio might've hoped for, and the movie currently sits at $32 million worldwide with its screen count declining. As the acclaimed film builds Oscar buzz, the filmmakers will be hoping to bridge the gap with digital sales, a higher percentage of which go directly to the distributor.

As of today, November 25, Bugonia is available on PVOD services like Amazon, Apple TV, and Fandango, about a month after its theatrical release. The film is purchasable for $24.99 and rentable for $19.99, which is typical of this window. As a release by Universal's Focus Features, the film is expected to eventually make its way to Peacock, but it will remain at these price points for a while as the film's theatrical run continues.

The movie comes strongly recommended, with an 8/10 review from SR and Rotten Tomatoes scores of 87% from critics and 84% from audiences. Anyone looking to keep up with this year's awards race is sure to want to check it out. Not only is Bugonia progressing toward a likely Best Picture nomination, but its lead performances from Stone and Jesse Plemons are among the most acclaimed in their respective races. If Plemons wins, he'd be taking home his first ever Oscar, but Stone is in line to become the third woman ever to win Best Actress three times, tying Frances McDormand and behind only Katharine Hepburn's four.
