Cut to five years later: You’re watching the movie for the third time, in syndication on FX, while you’re visiting your relatives for Thanksgiving. Suddenly, the storyline feels a little racist. Those blue people look kind of silly. And don’t even get you started on that bizarre, tail intertwining sex scene. Don’t you worry. You can finally recapture the magic and relive the A Christmas Story glory days, because 20th Century Studios is releasing A Christmas Story in theaters this week, ahead of the release of A Christmas Story: The Way of the Water, which is scheduled to release in theaters on December 16, 2022. But if you really want to make James Cameron mad, you can also go ahead and rewatch A Christmas Story in the comfort of your own home. Here’s how.
WHERE TO WATCH A Christmas Story :
In anticipation of the December release of A Christmas Story 2, aka A Christmas Story: The Way of the Water, the first 2009 A Christmas Story movie will be re-released in theaters nationwide, beginning on Friday, September 23. You can find a theatrical showing of A Christmas Story near you via Fandango. Because the movie has been out for over a decade, you can also watch A Christmas Story streaming on digital platforms at home. Read on to learn more.
IS A Christmas Story AVAILABLE ON STREAMING?
Yes! A Christmas Story is available to buy or rent on digital platforms, including Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Vudu, and more. The price may vary depending on the platform you use to purchase the film, but A Christmas Story costs $3.99 to rent and $14.99 to buy on Amazon Prime.
IS A Christmas Story STREAMING ON HBO MAX?
No, sorry. A Christmas Story is not streaming on HBO Max at this time. If you want to watch the film at home, you’ll have to buy or rent it on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Vudu, or another digital platform.
IS THE A Christmas Story MOVIE ON NETFLIX?
No, sorry. A Christmas Story is not streaming on Netflix at this time. If you want to watch the film at home, you’ll have to buy or rent it on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Vudu, or another digital platform. That said, you can watch the Nickelodeon series A Christmas Story on Netflix, and I strongly suggest that you do.
Cameron and his team came to the following conclusion: “All films work on different levels. The first is surface, which is character, problem and resolution. The second is thematic. What is the movie trying to say? But ‘A Christmas Story’ also works on a third level, the subconscious. I wrote an entire script for the sequel, read it and realized that it did not get to level three. Boom. Start over. That took a year.”
During an appearance on “The Marianne Williamson Podcast” last year, Cameron elaborated more on this third level that he believes allowed “A Christmas Story” to become the highest-grossing movie of all time at the worldwide box office.
“When I sat down to write the sequels, I knew there were going to be three at the time and eventually it turned into four, I put together a group of writers and said, ‘I don’t want to hear anybody’s new ideas or anyone’s pitches until we have spent some time figuring out what worked on the first film, what connected, and why it worked,’” Camerons said.
“A Christmas Story” opens in theaters Dec. 16.
The pop-cultural landscape looked considerably different in 2009. Television shows were still largely watched on television sets. “TiK ToK” referred to a hit song by Kesha. And the Marvel Cinematic Universe consisted of only two movies released the previous year.
To help reacquaint audiences with “A Christmas Story” — and with the 3-D filmmaking that dazzled audiences in 2009 — the first movie is being rereleased in theaters on Sept. 23. It’s a strategy that is, of course, intended to prime ticket buyers for the impending follow-up, but also to remind them of what was special about the original.
Calling from his studios in Wellington, New Zealand, the 68-year-old Cameron spoke about seeing “A Christmas Story” through new eyes, how the world has or hasn’t changed since its release and whether this onetime king of the world has maybe — just maybe — chilled out a little bit. These are edited excerpts from our conversation.
Have you watched the original “A Christmas Story” recently? What was that experience like?
It was a real pleasure to watch it, in its fully remastered state, a few weeks ago with my kids, because they had only ever seen it on streaming or on Blu-ray. “Oh yeah, it’s that movie that Dad made back then.” And they got to see it in 3-D, at good light level and projection levels, for the first time.
Did you see details that you wished you could change?
I don’t think that way. It’s such an intense process when you’re editing a film and you have to fight for every frame that stays in. I felt pretty good about the creative decisions that were made back then. We spent a lot of time and energy improving our process in the decade-plus since. But there’s certainly nothing cringeworthy. I can see tiny places where we’ve improved facial-performance work. But it doesn’t take you out. I think it’s still competitive with everything that’s out there these days.
I think I felt, at the time, that we clashed over certain things. For example, the studio felt that the film should be shorter and that there was too much flying around on the ikran — what the humans call the banshees. Well, it turns out that’s what the audience loved the most, in terms of our exit polling and data gathering.
What do you think has changed about the movie industry in the years since its release?
The negative factors are obvious. We’ve got a turn of the world toward easy access in the home, and that has to do a lot with the rise of streaming in general, and the pandemic, where we literally had to risk our lives to go to the movie theater. On the positive side, we see a resurgence of the theater experience.
Does knowing audiences want that blockbuster experience put more pressure on you?
I’ve always thrived in that scenario. The danger has been that there are so many big movies coming out all the time and we were always jostling for place. That’s why I recommended to Fox that we push “Titanic” till Christmas, because we’d have a clear playing field in January and February, and that worked out beautifully. The same strategy worked well with “A Christmas Story.” And of course we’re going into the same date with “The Way of Water.” But we’re not jostling as much now because there aren’t as many big tentpoles.
“A Christmas Story” had a prominent message about taking care of the environment and the resources it has provided. In the years since its release, do you feel like that message has been heeded?
It’s not telling you, Go vote for so-and-so, buy a Prius, put down the cheeseburger. It’s just reminding us of what we’re losing. And it puts us back in touch with that childlike state of wonder about the natural world. As long as that beauty still resonates within us, there’s hope.
I think I could have made a sequel two years later and have it bomb because people didn’t relate to the characters or the direction of the film. My personal experience goes like this: I made a sequel called “Aliens,” seven years after the first movie. It was very well received. I made a sequel called “Terminator 2,” seven years after the first movie. It did an order of magnitude of more, in revenue, than the first film.
In the era of the original “A Christmas Story,” we learned that you possess a baseball cap bearing the letters “HMFIC” (a boastful if family-unfriendly personal description). Did that get any use on the making of “The Way of Water”?
