Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are coming to Stream — Cornetto fans, rejoice!
Movie trilogies have always had a special place in our hearts—think The Lord of the Rings, The Dark Knight, or Back to the Future. But for British comedy lovers, nothing beats the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy, created by the hilarious trio Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, and Edgar Wright.
Now, there’s some exciting news for fans! Starting July 1, two of the trilogy’s most loved films — Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, both R-rated movies — will be available to stream on the Starz app. So, grab your Cornetto and get ready for a binge-watch session full of zombies, action, and laughs.
Both movies are fan favorites and have scored big with critics. Shaun of the Dead holds a 92% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while Hot Fuzz is close behind at 91% — both rated even higher than the third film, The World’s End, which sits at 89%.
These cult classics also did well at the box office.
- Shaun of the Dead turned a $6 million budget into $30 million globally.
- Hot Fuzz followed with a $16 million budget and earned over $80 million worldwide, plus another $36 million in DVD and Blu-ray sales.
- The World’s End, though made with a $20 million budget, earned around $47 million, making it the least successful of the three financially.
And that’s not the only good news for fans of the cast!
Nick Frost, who played unforgettable roles in all three movies, is now back in the spotlight. He’s currently topping the box office as part of the cast of the live-action How to Train Your Dragon remake. Starring alongside Mason Thames and Nico Parker, and with Gerard Butler returning as Stoick, the film has already made over $250 million in just one week!
So if you’re feeling nostalgic or just in need of a laugh, don’t miss Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz streaming on Starz this July. Comedy gold like this never goes out of style!
