AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A roundup of the biggest movie releases hitting streaming and VOD this weekend, including Knives Out 3 on Netflix, the Chainsaw Man movie, and Brad Pitt in F1.
For those nights when you are taking a break from your current backlog or waiting on your favorite Twitch streamers to go live, the weekend streaming lineup is packed with major releases. Rian Johnson is back with the third installment of the Knives Out series, bringing Daniel Craig's detective Benoit Blanc to Netflix after a brief theatrical run. This new chapter leans hard into Gothic horror and Edgar Allan Poe vibes, putting Blanc on the case of a dead Catholic priest in upstate New York alongside a star-studded cast.
Anime fans also have a major win this weekend with the arrival of Chainsaw Man The Movie: Rez Arc on VOD. It serves as an accessible entry point for anyone wanting to dive into the massive hit series without having to binge a whole season first. Meanwhile, sports and action enthusiasts can catch Brad Pitt starring as an aging racing driver in F1 on Apple TV, a film that earned major box office numbers by filming right during actual Grand Prix weekends.
If you want to steer away from traditional blockbusters, the VOD and streaming landscape has plenty of eclectic options right now. Rob Reiner is reuniting the classic mockumentary crew for a Spinal Tap sequel, Channing Tatum is playing a fugitive hiding out in a Toys R Us in Roofman, and Nicolas Cage is starring as a biblical horror figure in The Carpenter. Check out the original reporting over at Polygon to see the full breakdown of what is dropping at home this week.
