The Zendaya- and Robert Pattinson-led film The Drama has made an unusually early digital debut, arriving just a month after its theatrical release. While studios typically wait at least 45 days before releasing films on digital platforms, the A24 title became available after just 32 days.

Directed by Kristoffer Borgli, the A24 feature follows Emma (Zendaya) and Charlie (Pattinson), an engaged couple preparing to tie the knot. However, during their wedding week, their plans are thrown off course when one of them reveals an explosive, dark secret.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in March, Borgli described the film as “a very chaotic love story” but didn’t place it in a specific genre. Much of the controversy around the film stems from the shocking secret at the center of the plot, which has been intentionally kept hidden in the trailer and marketing. While it’s presented as a lighthearted romance, the reality is much more sinister.

“We want the audience to go through the same experience as the characters in the movie, where they get to be surprised by something,” Borgli said, explaining the decision to keep the secret under wraps from moviegoers. “So we’re trying to hold that reveal sealed to protect the best experience watching the movie.”

At the time of its digital release, The Drama is still playing in theaters. The film has crossed the $100 million worldwide box office milestone, earning $46.9 million domestically and $69.7 million internationally, according to Box Office Mojo.

The film holds a solid 77% critics’ score and 78% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. In his review for the New York Post, entertainment critic Johnny Oleksinski wrote that "Much of The Drama is gripping, quite stressfully so, and it’s sometimes stomach-churning in the topical subjects it touches.”
