While Denzel Washington’s new movie with Spike Lee continues to roll over streaming charts, another Washington classic that’s more than 10 years old has secured a new streaming home. Washington stars alongside Kelly Reilly (Yellowstone) and Nadine Velazquez (Snitch) in Flight, the 2012 psychological thriller following airline pilot Whip Whitaker, who makes a miraculous landing that unveils some complicated problems in his life. Flight is currently streaming for free on Tubi, but Paramount+ has confirmed that it will join its streaming library on November 1. Washington even earned an Oscar nomination for his performance in Flight, which was also recognized for Best Original Screenplay.

Flight wasn’t the critical darling that many of Washington’s other movies have been, but it still earned respectable scores of 77% from critics and 75% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Flight also found success at the box office on the back of superstar Denzel Washington, grossing $161 million against a modest $31 million budget. The film more than doubled its break-even point, meaning it made Paramount a small fortune. Flight is one of the few films ever made that not a single scene was left on the cutting floor. Director Robert Zemeckis has confirmed that some scenes were shortened, but everything they shot made it into the film.

Like all great directors, Robert Zemeckis has had some hits and misses over the years. He’s best known for working on the Back to the Future movies of the 80s, but in the 90s, he also worked with Tom Hanks on Forrest Gump. Hanks and Zemeckis reunited with Forrest Gump star Robin Wright last year on Here, but the film flopped spectacularly at the box office and was not well-liked by critics or audiences.

When Does Denzel Washington’s Next Movie Come Out?

Denzel Washington is attached to star in a few projects, but none of them have nailed down an official release date. What many would say is the biggest movie on his slate is Black Panther 3. Washington will make his MCU debut in the third Black Panther movie from Ryan Coogler. He let this slip last year on the press tour for Gladiator II. There have also been whispers that Washington will reprise his role as Robert McCall in a fourth Equalizer movie, but he’s given conflicting answers on this in the past about whether it will happen.

Be sure to check out Flight when it arrives on Paramount+ next month and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.
