Movie theaters are slowly reopening, but most of the new releases are headed to streaming services rather than the big screen. Whether you’re staying at home to limit potential risks, or just saving a few bucks by watching from the couch, we’ve organized a huge list with many of the newly added films and some upcoming titles.
New this week:
Who are we kidding, you’re only reading this if you forgot Mulan launches today, or you’ve already watched it and you’re looking for something else to fill out your weekend. Although, you may be putting it off since there’s a $29.99 rental fee in addition to the $6.99 Disney+ subscription — at least until December 4th when Mulan joins the regular subscription plan.
Tenet also opened yesterday; but that’s not streaming yet, you’ll have to hit a theater to get your Nolan fix. However, reviewers haven’t been very generous with this one, so it might not be worth the rush.
Getting on with the rest of the streamers for the week, there were actually more new titles on Tuesday than on Friday, likely to give viewers an early start before the Labor Day weekend. If Mulan and Tenet didn’t fill your action quota, you can get all you like when Ryan Phillippe and Casper Van Dien face off in The 2nd.
The Argument brings some tense levity as a couple’s fight spills over on their friends. Love, Guaranteed is a cute RomCom on Netflix starring Rachael Leigh Cook and Damon Wayans Jr. And despite Pauly Shore’s best efforts, somebody decided to cast him to play in the comedy Guest House.
The Owners brings Maisie Williams back for the second week in a row, and for yet another horror, which seems to confirm she only accepts roles that involve covering her in blood. And if you’re missing the good ol’ fashioned zombie movie genre, Blood Quantumwill deliver in spades.
For something a little more real, John Leguizamo channels his best school teacher persona and gets hyped up about chess club in Critical Thinking. Anime fans have been waiting for Children of the Sea to make its US release. And for some insight into the late Robin Williams, check out the biopic Robin’s Wish.
