Now You See Me 3 begins streaming in China; members on iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video can watch for free

Streaming rollout and availability

The third installment of the heist-magic franchise Now You See Me began online streaming in China today, and members of iQiyi (爱奇艺), Youku (优酷) and Tencent Video (腾讯视频) can watch the film at no extra charge, it has been reported. Chinese tech site IT之家 also found the title listed on Bilibili (哔哩哔哩), though platform windows and catalogue listings can shift quickly across services.

What this means in China's streaming market

For Western readers: iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video are China’s three dominant video platforms — roughly analogous to Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu in their market roles — and they commonly offer subscription tiers that include members-only viewing windows for recent theatrical titles. Why does that matter? Because after theatrical runs, digital release on these major platforms can meaningfully extend a film’s revenue and reach in China’s vast online audience.

Film performance and premise

Now You See Me 3 originally opened in mainland China on November 14, 2025 and has so far grossed ¥288 million at the box office (roughly $40 million). The original Four Horsemen — Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco and Isla Fisher — return, joined by three younger magicians. The plot threads a mysterious tarot deck into a globe‑spanning con against a diamond magnate who runs an international criminal network, continuing the franchise’s signature “trick‑within‑a‑trick” heist style.
