Hulu release date set for Ben Stiller comedy

Hulu confirmed the scoop it acquired from Deadline on Thursday during the Toronto Film Festival Nutcrackersthe TIFF opening night comedy of David Gordon Green’s family vacation starring Ben Stiller. It has also set a November 29, 2024 release date on Hulu, with the pic also streaming internationally on Disney+.

The reported eight-figure deal marked the first major sellout at the festival, where it was warmly received by audiences during its world premiere. It was Stiller’s first leading role in a feature film in seven years.

Stiller plays a work-obsessed city slicker forced to be a caretaker for his rambunctious orphaned nephews on their family farm. Linda Cardellini, Edi Patterson, Tim Heidecker and Toby Huss also star, as do newcomers and real-life siblings Homer, Ulysses, Atlas and Arlo Janson as the cousins.

UTA Independent Film Group represents worldwide sales rights to the pic, which was financed by Rivulet Films. Rob Paris and Mike Witherill produced along with Nate Meyer of Rough House Pictures, which developed the script with Douglas.
