‘Eternity’ in movie theaters now: showtimes, box office pulse, and when it might stream

The afterlife rom-com Eternity is playing in theaters nationwide after a strong holiday debut and a steady second weekend push. The film pairs Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller, and Callum Turner in a high-concept love triangle that unfolds where time has run out but choices still matter. With new screens added in select markets this week and overseas rollouts hitting early December, it’s positioned as a word-of-mouth crowd-pleaser heading into the holidays.

Where to watch ‘Eternity’ in theaters

• United States: Wide release began November 26 with daily showtimes at major chains and indie houses. More matinee slots are appearing as audiences look for counter-programming to family blockbusters.

• International: Staggered openings land through early–mid December in several regions, including the UK, Australia, parts of Europe, and Southeast Asia. Check local cinema listings; some territories are adding late-evening subtitled shows due to demand.

Ticket tip: If prime evening seats look scarce, try weekday late shows or weekend late-afternoon slots—two windows that are seeing last-minute inventory.

What ‘Eternity’ is about (no spoilers)

In a way-station beyond life, souls get one week to decide where—and with whom—they’ll spend forever. Joan (Olsen) must choose between Larry (Teller), the husband who shared her life, and Luke (Turner), the first love who died young and has patiently waited for her to arrive. The film plays as a witty, gentle screwball romance with a metaphysical twist: the clock is ticking, but the afterlife’s rules aren’t as rigid as they seem.

Why it’s connecting:

• A breezy tone that still makes room for real stakes.

• Chemistry that feels lived-in rather than glossy.

• Production design that treats the beyond like a place you might actually inhabit, not just a backdrop.

Box office & momentum

Opening over Thanksgiving, Eternity cracked the domestic top tier for specialty releases and has held screens into the first December frame. The audience mix is broader than typical for an offbeat romance: date-night crowds, friend groups, and older moviegoers returning for something new but not noisy. With additional markets lighting up abroad this week, the total should climb on the strength of evening shows and Sunday matinees.

Runtime, rating, and format

• Runtime: about 1 hour 52 minutes

• Rating: PG-13 (thematic elements, brief language)

• Formats: Standard 2D; select theaters are offering premium seating or boutique-room presentations

Should you see it in theaters?

If you like character-first comedies with a warm, slightly magical tilt, yes. The film’s best pleasures—quiet reversals, overlapping dialogue, and a handful of visual grace notes—play better with a crowd. It’s also brisk: the pacing keeps the premise from turning into a lecture on destiny.

When will ‘Eternity’ stream?

No streaming date is announced. Historically, titles on this release pattern land on digital purchase about a month or two after theatrical debut, with subscription streaming following later. Timelines can shift if the theatrical run holds strong—something to watch as holiday attendance builds.

Cast & creative snapshot

• Elizabeth Olsen — Joan, shouldering the film’s empathy and wit

• Miles Teller — Larry, grounded and stubborn in all the human ways

• Callum Turner — Luke, the what-if that refuses to fade

• Da’Vine Joy Randolph, John Early — scene-stealing support that sharpens the comedy

• Director: David Freyne, blending screwball rhythms with gentle fantasy

Plan your outing

• Arrive 10–15 minutes early: the opening sequence sets the rules of the world quickly.

• Stay present for the mid-late stretch: a small prop and a throwaway line pay off in the final act.

• Pair it with dessert or a night walk—this is the kind of movie that spurs “what would you choose?” conversations on the way home.

The takeaway

Eternity is that rare holiday-season release that feels both light on its feet and emotionally generous. It’s built for theaters—funny enough to ripple through a room, tender enough to hush it—and it leaves you with the pleasant problem of debating its rules with someone you like. If your local listings show new evening slots this week, grab them; the beyond is calling, and it’s surprisingly easy to root for.
