Warner Bros is set to fast-track their musical THE COLOR PURPLE to PVOD, arriving on VOD and digital platforms on January 16, 2024. The film premiered in US theaters on December 25th, 2023.

The Color Purple is directed by Blitz Bazawule and adapted by Marcus Gardley, whose screenplay is 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 the stage musical's producers Scott Sanders and Oprah Winfrey, the latter of whom also starred in the 1985 film.
