5 best new movies to stream this weekend on Max, Netflix, Disney Plus, and more
Another weekend means a fresh wave of new movies across the best streaming services just arrived, including some of this year's biggest blockbusters. But figuring out what to watch with so much to choose from can quickly become a headache. That's why we regularly comb through all the new movies on streaming to highlight the best of the bunch. The biggest newcomer this week is easily "A Minecraft Movie" on Max, though my top pick would have to be 'Final Destination Bloodlines' arriving on premium video-on-demand streaming platforms. On Netflix, you can check out 'Kpop Demon Hunters," a fun and vibrant new animated adventure from the studio behind the "Spider-Verse" films. Over on Disney Plus, there's a new live-action musical version of "Frozen" with new songs from the original movie's songwriters. Lastly, Paramount Plus has a millennia-spanning love story starring Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun called "Love Me." So if you're looking for what to watch this weekend, your search is over. Here are our picks for the best new movies on streaming to add to your watchlist. Working as a prequel and a sequel, the long-awaited sixth "Final Destination" film reinvigorates the franchise by taking its iconic premise to a new level: If death hunts down those who cheat fate, what happens when those survivors have children? While this generational angle adds a fun new layer, "Bloodlines" still delivers on all the inventive gore and over-the-top kills that fans have come to expect. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Like every movie in the series, "Bloodlines" kicks off with a jaw-dropping premonition where a character foresees a deadly catastrophe and manages to save a few would-be victims. The twist this time is that a survivor's grandchild, college student Stefani Reyes (Kaitlyn Santa Juana), finds herself in the crosshairs when death comes to collect his dues. The time gap works in the film's favor, making the familiar formula of death stalking survivors feel fresh again for one of the best entries in the series since "Final Destination 2." Buy or rent now on Amazon or Apple Parents everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief: you don't have to brave the Chicken Jockey frenzy in theaters to see "A Minecraft Movie" anymore, now that it's landed on Max. Whether you find this year's biggest blockbuster delightfully entertaining or an exhausting barrage of meme fodder depends on your taste, but it's hard to deny the cultural impact it's had. Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, and Sebastian Hansen star as a scrappy group of misfits who stumble through a portal into the pixelated world of Minecraft. To survive their blocky new world, their imagination will be put to the test as they team up with Steve (Jack Black), a seasoned crafter who's been stuck there for decades. Director Jared Hess ("Napoleon Dynamite") brings his signature offbeat humor, while Jack Black once again proves he's a comedic powerhouse capable of winning over a whole new generation of kids. Stream it now on Max What happens when a chart-topping music genre crashes headfirst into an animated realm crawling with soul-sucking demons? That's what we'll find out in "KPop Demon Hunters," Netflix's latest animated adventure. It's from the same animation studio behind the "Spider-Verse" films and "The Mitchells vs. the Machines," so if nothing else, this promises to be a stunning feast for the eyes. "KPop Demon Hunters" follows superstars Rumi (voiced by Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo), who split their time between selling out stadiums and (what else?) slaying demons. But they're faced with their biggest challenge yet when a rival boy band turns out to be a group of demons in disguise. With the souls of their fans at stake, not to mention their reputation, the idols gear up to slay the day. Watch it now on Netflix Anyone counting down the days until "Wicked: For Good" will be excited to learn that one of Disney's most popular movies of all time, "Frozen," is getting the "Hamilton" treatment on Disney Plus. The musical tells the same story as the animated film, only in a live stage format. You'd be forgiven for thinking this is the Broadway version based on the title, but it's actually a taping of the show's West End production at Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London, which ran from 2021 to 2024. The show features 12 new songs written exclusively for the musical by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, who co-wrote the songs for both "Frozen" and "Frozen 2." And of course, there's still all the original earworms from the movie, only this time with "Pretty Woman: The Musical" star Samantha Barks belting out "Let It Go" instead of Idina Menzel. Watch it now on Disney Plus For an offbeat romantic drama with a heavy helping of sci-fi, look no further than Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun's "Love Me." Set in a future where humanity has gone extinct, it follows an unexpected duo: a weather buoy (voiced by Stewart) that becomes self-aware after a brief encounter with a passing satellite (Yeun). Yearning for a sense of self, the buoy calls itself 'Me' and dubs the satellite 'Iam.' Me persuades Iam to study the remnants of the internet with her to better understand what it means to be human. Though Iam doesn't realize it, Me begins to construct new identities for them both based on social media posts from a once-living couple. As their bond evolves into something that resembles love, the cracks in their borrowed identities as well as their growing connection begin to show. Watch it now on Paramount Plus

5 top new movies to stream this week on Netflix, HBO Max, Disney Plus and more (June 17-23)
There's plenty of noteworthy new movies across the best streaming services this week, with a little something for everyone from gruesome horror to an inspiring space-themed doc. However, I think the biggest newcomer is the arrival of 'A Minecraft Movie' on HBO Max. I'm no fan of the flick; it ranks in my 5 least favorite movies of 2025 to date (sorry, Minecrafters), but its box office-breaking success suggests I'm in the minority camp with this opinion. Other top new picks include 'Final Destination Bloodlines' arriving on premium video-on-demand streaming platforms, and Netflix's new vibrant animation from the studio behind 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,' 'Kpop Demon Hunters' — yes, that is a real movie that you can watch this week. If you're looking for something fresh to stream over the next seven days, you've come to the right place. And also don't forget to check out our guide to the best TV news shows this week. The return of the iconic 'Final Destination' series was a long time coming and after more than a decade's wait, 'Final Destination Bloodlines' proved more than worthy of the franchise's name. I'd go as far as to say it might even be the best installment to date; it's certainly top two, in my opinion. The passage of time certainly helps the formula of a cast of characters being stalked by death feel fresh again, but 'Bloodlines' makes some subtly creative (and super bloody) choices that work a treat. As all 'Final Destination' movies do, 'Bloodlines' begins with a bombastic premonition, where a character sees a vision of future death to come, managing to save a few people, death quickly comes back to claim those who escaped his master plan. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. However, the wrinkle here is that this time it's the grandchildren of one of the survivors who are being hunted. Alongside this new spin, 'Bloodlines' still offers all the outrageously gory deaths you'd expect from a 'Final Destination' movie and has an enjoyable self-aware streak as well. Buy or rent on Amazon from June 17 My local theatre hasn't yet screened 'Friendship,' so I'm particularly pleased to see it arrive on streaming this week because the comedic combo of Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd sounds absolutely perfect. Based on the movie's critical reception (it's currently rated 88% on Rotten Tomatoes), it looks like the team-up of Rudd and Robinson was just as good in practice as it sounded on paper. This one certainly seems worth the rental fee. In 'Friendship,' Tim Robinson plays Craig, a suburban husband and father whose wife is growing frustrated with his increasing emotional distance. When he meets a neighbor, Austin (Rudd), the two strike up a close friendship. But their fast relationship might just be the catalyst for the destruction of both their lives. It kinda looks like a quirky version of Rudd's other bromance comedy, 'I Love You, Man,' and that's one heck of an elevator pitch to me. Buy or rent on Amazon from June 17 Sally Ride was an extremely inspirational figure as the first American woman to travel to space (and only the third overall). This new documentary aims to celebrate her life and a litany of incredible achievements. It's sure to be a documentary that will inspire viewers and also remind us just how small our place in the universe truly is. Also, it's simultaneously hitting both Hulu and Disney Plus, so the House of Mouse is giving this a big push. Beyond Sally's incredible achievements while working at NASA, the movie also explores her life beyond her important work, highlighting the deeply personal story that was going on behind the scenes. Her 27-year relationship with science educator Tam O'Shaughnessy is a key part of the documentary, with 'Sally' showcasing how the pair had to make numerous sacrifices in their professional and personal lives to keep their romance under wraps. Watch on Hulu and Disney Plus from June 17 If I selected movies on this list based on the titles alone, then Netflix's 'KPop Demon Hunters' would deserve the top spot, because the eyebrow-raising name is surely going to help this animated musical action-comedy stand out in the crowded Netflix library. I'm a little surprised to learn that this isn't based on a pre-existing manga or anime, or created in collaboration with a real pop band. Instead, it's an original property from Sony Pictures Animation. Consider me intrigued to see the final result. The movie focuses on a Kpop super group, comprised of Rumi (voiced by Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong) and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo), who spend their time leaping between sell-out stadium shows and, you've guessed it, hunting demons. They must rise to the occasion when they face their biggest threat yet, a rival boy band who are really demons in disguise. I'm not a Kpop aficionado whatsoever, but the fantastic 'Spiderverse'-like animation style is enough for this movie to have already earned a place in my Netflix watchlist. Watch on Netflix from June 20 If you've been desperate to scream 'Chicken Jockey' at the top of your lungs in your own living room, then you'll be delighted to know that 'A Minecraft Movie' is streaming on HBO Max from Friday (June 20). Just don't ask me what the term means, I'm still not really sure. Beyond the many memes, the movie is a sugary blockbuster bursting with colorful effects and larger-than-life characters. Whether you find it entertaining or just highly irritating is a matter of personal taste, but you can't deny its cultural impact. Starring Jack Black, Jason Momoa and Danielle Brooks, this wild adventure is inspired by the juggernaut block-building video game of the same name, and sees a quartet of misfits stumble upon a strange blocky land known as the Overworld. Here, they team up with a zany crafter, Steve (Black), and set out on a quest to save the Minecraft universe from an army of sinister pigs. Watch on HBO Max from June 20

Charli XCX wants to make a Final Destination movie with 'It girls'
Charli XCX wants to make a 'Final Destination' movie featuring "It girls". The 32-year-old pop star is a huge fan of the horror franchise - which focuses on people who cheat death before their destiny catches up with them - and she's been rewatching the the first five movies before heading to the cinema to see the sixth installment 'Final Destination Bloodlines' - and it's given Charli an idea for her own 'Final Destination' film. In a post on TikTok, she explained: "I'm rewatching all of the 'Final Destination' movies, in preparation to see 'Final Destination Bloodlines', which I'm really excited to see. "The reason I love these movies is that they really just are about hot people getting killed. You know, there's no moral backbone to the story, it really is just, 'they're hot, they're cursed and they deserve to die." Charli went on to add: "I was thinking, well, shouldn't there be a sort of It Girl version of this franchise. You know like, a 'Final Destination' with It girls. "Kind of like, Rachel Sennott, Alex Consani, Gabbriette, Romy Mars, Me, Quenlin Blackwell, Devon Lee Carlson … maybe there's like a Scream Queen in there like Jenna [Ortega]. "Maybe there's an OG Scream Queen like Sissy Spacek. And then it's also directed by like a horror auteur." She went on to insist her idea for the next movie would stick to the franchise's "formula". Charli said: "The films wouldn't have to change their formula, I think the whole point is that they play into the lore. "They kind of make fun of their own lore, and I don't think this one would have to be any different, like I think that's the point. "It's really not trying to do anything other than have hot people die in the most brutal ways and play with some unbelievable dialogue." Actress Rachel Sennott - who was one of Charli's top picks for her movie idea - was along those who commented on the post and she told the singer she's up for taking part. Rachel wrote: "Ok I'm in." Charli has already started dabbling in the movie business and has a number of film projects in the works including Takashi Miike's film 'Audition' which she is producing and starring in, as well as roles in 'The Moment' and 'The Gallerist'.
