Netflix's Beckett - What We Know So Far

Thankfully, there isn't too long to wait until "Beckett" is released on the streaming platform. After a world premiere at the Locarno Film Festival at the beginning of August, the movie will premiere on Netflix just over a week later, on August 13, 2021. This is only two days after another highly anticipated Netflix film, "The Kissing Booth 3," is released on August 11, 2021.

While "Beckett" doesn't necessarily have to compete with theatrically released movies, there are a couple of high profile films scheduled to come out on the same day as the thriller. This includes Ryan Reynolds' delayed meta adventure, "Free Guy," along with the horror sequel, "Don't Breathe 2." 

Summer's a particularly popular time to release movies due to the fact that school's out, people are on vacation, and movie theaters are an air-conditioned alternative to basking in the heat outside. Throughout the rest of August, other major films like "Candyman," "The Suicide Squad," and the Aretha Franklin biopic "Respect," will all be released as well.
