MUBI: check whether a film page can actually play in your country
Read the Now Showing listing, check the title’s playback button and keep its departure date with your watchlist.

Start from Now Showing for tonight’s film
When you find a MUBI title in a search engine, open the page from the account and country where you plan to watch. MUBI runs a film database alongside its streaming service. A title can have credits, artwork and a synopsis while its streaming window is closed. Start from Now Showing when you need a title for tonight, then verify that the details page offers playback on your account.
For example, your film club may share a beautifully detailed listing of an older restoration. Add it to a research list if the page helps identify the title. Before putting it on the club’s calendar, open Now Showing, check for the play action and confirm the version. If another participant is in a different country, ask them to run the same check there. Keep both observations with a date.
Check the window before moving the screening
MUBI says films have different availability periods and that it flags titles due to leave within 14 days. Its help recommends saving a film to the Watchlist to receive notice when it is leaving soon. For a screening planned later in the week, check the current title page again shortly before the session. If it gives a departure date, keep that date in your reminder alongside the film title and market.
| MUBI page shows | What to save |
|---|---|
| A catalogue entry with no play action | Title, year and director for identification |
| A playable Now Showing entry | Service, region, title and the date you checked |
| A leaving-soon label | Listed date and your intended watch time |
| A different cut or restoration | Runtime, language and edition on the player’s details page |
Make the final check on the shared screen
Open the film on the TV app and play a short passage to check sound, subtitles and picture. If the browser offers playback but the television does not, record the platform and error. If neither offers playback, revisit the title’s current market availability. Tell the group whether they have a playable listing or only a useful reference page before everyone settles on a time.
