A roundup of the biggest weekend movie releases hitting streaming platforms, including the John Wick spinoff Ballerina, the meta comedy Anaconda, and time travel caper Mike Nick Nick Alice.
When you are done grinding through your weekend match queues or catching up on your favorite creator VODs, a stacked lineup of new movie releases has just landed on streaming. For players who appreciate high octane action and intricate choreography, the John Wick spinoff Ballerina has officially made its debut on HBO Max. Starring Ana de Armas as an assassin navigating the lethal underworld between the events of the third and fourth films, the movie leans heavily into the stylish, over the top combat that the franchise is known for, even featuring an appearance by Keanu Reeves himself.
If you are looking for something with a bit more chaotic energy and meta humor, Netflix is now streaming the new Anaconda remake. Helmed by director Tom Gormican, the film follows a group of friends attempting to recreate their favorite childhood movie in the Amazon Rainforest, only to encounter a very real, very dangerous reptile alongside an appearance by original star Ice Cube. Meanwhile, Prime Video has dropped Pretty Lethal, an action thriller about an LA dance troupe held hostage by a former prima ballerina played by Uma Thurman.
For those who prefer a side of sci fi time travel with their weekend relaxation, Hulu is streaming Mike Nick Nick Alice. Starring Vince Vaughn and James Marsden, the crime comedy plays with temporal mechanics in a way that is easy to follow while you multitask. Whether you are winding down after a long raid or just hanging out in Discord with your community, these new additions offer plenty of entertainment to fill your downtime.
