Originally due to open theatrically nationwide in select AMC Theatres and debut at South By Southwest, due to COVID-19, A MOST BEAUTIFUL THING headed first to our partners at Comcast NBCUniversal, streaming first for Xfinity customers and then debuted on NBCUniversal’s PEACOCK platform on September 4. The film is now also available on Amazon Prime as of October 30 and a new companion soundtrack (to be produced by 9th Wonder and Amazon Music) will be arriving in November.
