Oscar-nominated musical THE COLOR PURPLE is set to make its SVOD debut next week, arriving for streaming on Max on February 16th, 2024. The film premiered in US theaters on December 25th, 2023 and launched on PVOD on January 16th, 2024.

The Color Purple was directed by Blitz Bazawule, with a screenplay by Marcus Gardley, based on the stage musical of the same name, which in turn is based on the 1982 novel of the same name by Alice Walker. It is the second film adaptation of the novel, following the 1985 film directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by Spielberg and Quincy Jones. Spielberg and Jones return as producers for the 2023 film, along with its Broadway producers Scott Sanders and Oprah Winfrey, the latter of whom also starred in the 1985 film.
