Gone Girl is now streaming on Paramount+, according to movieweb.com. The 2014 thriller, directed by David Fincher, has found a new home on the platform.

The film stars Ben Affleck as Nick Dunne and Rosamund Pike as Amy Dunne, whose disappearance drives the plot. Gillian Flynn wrote the screenplay based on her own novel.

Gone Girl was released in October 2014 and grossed nearly $371 million against a $61 million production budget. It earned an 88% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, and Pike received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for her performance.

The film marked Fincher's return to thrillers after a three-year hiatus following The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
