One of Leonardo DiCaprio’s most talked-about movies is about to leave Netflix’s library. The Oscar-nominated comedy-thriller, known for its excess, rapid-fire dialogue, and headline-making scenes, will leave the streaming platform in the coming months.
The Wolf of Wall Street is leaving Netflix next month
The Wolf of Wall Street is leaving Netflix on March 1 as part of the platform’s regular content shuffle (via What’s on Netflix). Streamers rotate titles in and out all the time, depending on licensing deals.
Studios also shift major movies around to get the most mileage out of them, whether that’s on another service or their own platform. The film was produced by Red Granite Pictures and distributed by Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures International.
Directed by Martin Scorsese, the movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio as real-life stockbroker Jordan Belfort. The cast also features Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey, and Kyle Chandler. The story tracks Belfort’s wild climb on Wall Street, powered by high-pressure sales and a plethora of financial fraud, along with the over-the-top lifestyle and legal fallout that eventually catch up with him.
Released in 2013, The Wolf of Wall Street quickly grabbed attention for its loud, no-holds-barred take on greed and over-the-top excess. Critics and audiences both liked it. The film holds a 79% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and an 8.2 out of 10 rating on IMDb, showing solid approval and long-lasting buzz. Its blend of dark comedy and biographical drama struck a chord, even as people argued about how it portrayed real-life events.
The movie also made noise during awards season. It picked up five Academy Awards nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director for Martin Scorsese, Best Actor for Leonardo DiCaprio, Best Supporting Actor for Jonah Hill, and Best Adapted Screenplay. It didn’t take home a trophy, but those nominations cemented its status as one of the standout films of that year.
With its March 1 removal date approaching, viewers who want to revisit Belfort’s high-flying story will need to stream it soon before it leaves Netflix’s lineup.
