the Feature-Length Comedy Starring Kristen Bell and Kirby Howell-Baptiste

Is Now Available to Stream Exclusively for Paramount+ Subscribers in the U.S.

Sept. 29, 2021 – Paramount+, the streaming service from ViacomCBS, today announced its original comedy movie QUEENPINS is now available to stream on the service. Following its theatrical release, the film is now available to stream exclusively for Paramount+ subscribers in the U.S.

Inspired by a true story, QUEENPINS is an outrageous comedy about a bored and frustrated suburban homemaker, Connie (Kristen Bell), and her best pal JoJo (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), a vlogger with dreams, who turn a hobby into a multi-million-dollar counterfeit coupon caper. After firing off a letter to the conglomerate behind a box of cereal gone stale, and receiving an apology along with dozens of freebies, the duo hatches an illegal coupon club scheme that scams millions from mega-corporations and delivers deals to legions of fellow coupon clippers. On the trail to total coupon dominance, a hapless loss prevention officer (Paul Walter Hauser) from the local supermarket chain joins forces with a determined U.S. postal inspector (Vince Vaughn) in hot pursuit of these newly minted “Queenpins” of pink-collar crime.

Released theatrically by STXfilms, QUEENPINS is written and directed by Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly, and stars Kristen Bell, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Paul Walter Hauser, Joel McHale, Bebe Rexha and Vince Vaughn. The film is produced by AGC’s Head of Production Linda McDonough via her Marquee Entertainment banner alongside AGC Studios, and Red Hour Films’ Nicholas Weinstock.

Paramount+ is building a robust slate of original feature-length films, including THE J TEAM, from Nickelodeon and starring JoJo Siwa; INFINITE, starring Mark Wahlberg and Chiwetel Ejiofor; the upcoming JERRY AND MARGE GO LARGE, from MRC Films’ Landline Pictures and starring Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening; as well as titles produced by Paramount Players, including a prequel to PET SEMATARY, original supernatural story THE IN BETWEEN, featuring Joey King, and PARANORMAL ACTIVITY: NEXT OF KIN, a new, unexpected retooling of the PARANORMAL franchise premiering on Thursday, Oct. 29.

In addition, select upcoming films from Paramount Pictures will have their streaming debut on Paramount+, including the upcoming family feature CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG, which will be available to stream on Wednesday, Nov. 10, the same day it hits theaters. The Paramount Pictures films A QUIET PLACE PART II and PAW PATROL: THE MOVIE are currently available to stream on Paramount+.
