When does the "Adult World" movie come out? At long last, a release date has been set for the Syracuse-shot film starring Emma Roberts, Evan Peters and John Cusack.

Treehouse Pictures tells syracuse.com and The Post-Standard that "Adult World" will first be available for viewing exclusively on DirecTV VOD (Video On Demand) starting Thursday, Jan. 16th. DirecTV customers will be able to stream the movie for $10.99.

The quirky romantic comedy will then get a limited theatrical release in New York City and Los Angeles starting Friday, Feb. 14th.

Also on Valentine's Day, "Adult World" will be available to watch through VOD on iTunes, Amazon and other on demand outlets. A price has yet to be determined.

This production still released by Treehouse Pictures shows John Cusack and Emma Roberts on the Syracuse University campus in a scene from "Adult World."

"Adult World" co-stars Evan Peters, left, and Emma Roberts attend the FOX after party for the 71st Annual Golden Globes award show on Sunday, Jan. 12, 2014 in Beverly Hills, Calif. The couple also co-stars on "American Horror Story: Coven."

"Adult World," written by Andy Cochran and directed by Scott Coffey, stars Roberts as recent college graduate and aspiring writer Amy Anderson. Mounting debt forces her to move back home with her parents and take a job at an adult bookstore. She seeks advice from her mentor, poet Rat Billings (Cusack), who tells her "Kid, get a real job. Poetry sucks."

Peters, 26, plays the love interest of Roberts, the 22-year-old niece of Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts. The young couple began dating in real life after meeting on set, and reportedly became engaged last month.

Cloris Leachman, Shannon Woodward ("Raising Hope") and Armando Riesco ("Garden State," "National Treasure") also appear in the film, shot on location in the Syracuse area in February and March of 2012.

The movie premiered to mixed reviews at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival, but received a much warmer reaction when it debuted at the Syracuse International Film Festival in October. Central New Yorkers loved seeing local landmarks on the big screen, cheering loudly at shots of Syracuse University, the Gear Factory, the Carrier Dome, Recess Coffee, Little Italy, Clinton Square, Phoebe's restaurant and the upside down traffic light on Tipperary Hill.

"Adult World" was produced by Jamesville-DeWitt graduate Justin Nappi, who heads Treehouse Pictures. The studio also produced Robert Redford's "All Is Lost," which won a Golden Globe earlier this week for Best Original Score in a Motion Picture, composed by Alex Ebert of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros.

For those wondering why "Adult World" isn't getting a traditional national release in theaters, Nappi told The Post-Standard last year that he expected distribution to focus mainly on Video On Demand outlets. Numbers show "people would rather rent a movie than... have to sit at theaters," he said.

Treehouse Pictures' next movie, however, will test the waters of a nationwide release. "That Awkward Moment," a bromantic comedy starring Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller, will open in 2,500 theaters on Friday, Jan. 31.
