Date Night and The 40-Year-Old Virgin are leaving HBO Max

Date Night and The 40-Year-Old Virgin will be removed from HBO Max on Thursday, April 30, 2026.

Judd Apatow directed The 40-Year-Old Virgin with a script he co-wrote with Steve Carell. The film follows Andy, a 40-year-old virgin, as he lives alone, spending time collecting action figures and video games. But during a poker game, his friends, David, Jay, and Cal learn about Andy’s lack of sexual experience and vow to help him rekindle his dating life and lose his virginity.

It features The Office star as Andy, alongside Paul Rudd as David, Romany Malco as Jay, and Seth Rogen as Cal, among others. Reportedly, it cost the producers $26 million to make the film. Released on August 19, 2005, The 40-Year-Old Virgin earned an impressive $177.3 million at the global box office. On Rotten Tomatoes, it currently boasts a critic score of 85% and a user score of 84%.

On the other hand, Stranger Things’ Shawn Levy directed and produced Date Night, with Josh Klausner serving as the writer. It stars Carell as Phil and Tina Fey as Claire. The film also has cameos from Mark Wahlberg, Mark Ruffalo, James Franco, Mila Kunis, Bill Burr, and Gal Gadot, among others.

The story centers on Phil and Claire Foster, who try to spice up their routine with a night out. When they arrive at a fancy restaurant and are unable to get a table, the pair assumes another no-show couple’s name and takes their reservation. However, unknown to them, the decision came with dangerous consequences. The couple then spends the night running away from people trying to kill them.

20th Century Fox released the film in the United States on April 9, 2010. It received an approval rating of 67% from over 200 critics, while more than 100K users rated it 55% on Rotten Tomatoes. At the global box office, it grossed roughly $152.2 million.
