Is ‘Busboys’ Available on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video?
A new comedy led by David Spade and Theo Von opened in select U.S. theaters on Friday, April 17, 2026. The film takes an unusual path to audiences. It skips traditional studio distribution and heads straight to cinemas.
Who made the film
David Spade and Theo Von financed the project themselves. Both men also co-wrote, produced, and star in the film. Jonah Feingold directed the movie and called the approach a potential new blueprint in a Substack newsletter.
Premise and production
The two lead characters are friends who aspire to be waiters. First, they must prove themselves as busboys. Filming took place in Los Angeles on January 25, during the city’s fires.
Distribution approach
The digital talent management and marketing firm Night is releasing the picture directly to theaters. No traditional studio or distribution company backed the launch. That makes the release notable for its independence.
Theatrical release details
The movie opened in select Cinemark and Regal locations. Fandango listed additional screenings at some AMC theaters. Tickets are available through Fandango and the film’s official site. For ongoing coverage, check Filmogaz.com.
Marketing and audience reach
Without a studio marketing push, the film leans on the stars’ followings. Theo Von’s podcast audience and Spade’s fan base are central to promotion. Word-of-mouth will also shape box office momentum.
Is the film on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video?
The movie is not streaming on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video at this time. It is not a Netflix original title. A Prime subscription will not include free access.
Home release outlook
There is no confirmed digital or streaming date yet. Small independent films often reach digital platforms about a month after theatrical release. If that pattern holds, a digital window around May 2026 is possible, but unconfirmed.
Possible future availability
The film could appear for purchase or rental on Prime Video later. An output deal with a streamer remains a possibility. No deals have been announced publicly.
