Nonetheless, the largest newcomer this week will be discovered on premium video-on-demand platforms. Jurassic World Rebirth” is ready to make the tyrannosaurus-sized leap from cinemas to streaming. And viewers searching for extra blockbuster motion may even need to take a look at “The Pickup” on Prime Video. Plus, the summer season of Pedro Pascal continues over on HBO Max.
These are the highest new motion pictures you possibly can stream this week, and when you’re within the temper for a binge-watch, take a look at our information to the highest new TV reveals this week.
‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ (PVOD)
“Jurassic World Rebirth” is the most effective “Jurassic” film for the reason that authentic “Jurassic World” again in 2015.
OK, so when the competitors is “Fallen Kingdom” and “Dominion,” that are, for my part, two of the worst tentpole blockbusters of the final decade, that’s faint reward. However nonetheless, “Rebith” represents a step in the proper path for a franchise that has so typically struggled to recapture the enduring magic of the unique “Jurassic Park.” Though I admit, it’s enjoyable however flawed.
“Rebirth” sees Scarlett Johansson play Zora Bennett, an ex-military particular operative, who leads a crew into one of many world’s most harmful locations: A tropical island that served because the analysis facility for the unique Jurassic Park.
The mission requires them to safe three DNA samples from particular dinosaurs, however in fact, the plan goes awry. Additionally starring Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey, it packs loads of dino-themed enjoyable, however the collection’ insistence on creating new mutated creatures does really feel ill-judged.
Purchase or lease on Amazon from August 5
‘The Pickup’ (Prime Video)
Prime Video is following up its summer season streaming hit, “Heads of State,” with one other high-stakes motion comedy within the type of “The Pickup.”
This one appears good for viewers craving a big-budget romp, however with out having to shell out for a cinema ticket and overpriced theatre snacks. Its solid listing can also be nothing to sneeze at, with Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson, Keke Palmer and Eva Longoria headlining. I doubt it’ll be a important darling, however its future as a Prime Video No. 1 appears fairly safe.
“The Pickup” facilities on two armored truck drivers (Murphy and Davidson) who face the shift from hell when criminals, led by a savvy mastermind (Palmer), ambush them and try to steal their car’s cargo.
What follows is an action-packed shift as these mismatched co-workers are roped right into a harmful heist with extremely private stakes. The setup appears predictable, however the trailer guarantees loads of explosions and plenty of slapstick comedy gags.

‘The Monkey’ (Hulu)
“The Monkey” is considered one of my largest disappointments of 2025. It’s not as a result of it’s dangerous, however somewhat contemplating the pedigree of director Oz Perkins (the person behind final 12 months’s “Longlegs” and the missed “The Blackcoat’s Daughter”), I had excessive hopes for this horror, and in the end, my expectations weren’t fairly met.
Nonetheless, there’s a variety of darkly comedic enjoyable to be discovered on this blood-drenched film, and now that it’s arriving on Hulu, the barrier to entry has dropped significantly. “The Monkey” affords a collection of extraordinarily gory kills, stitched collectively by an off-kilter story that’s a little bit too goofy.
The film opens with twin brothers discovering a wierd and really creepy wind-up monkey doll. This odd toy is definitely cursed and causes a string of horrific deaths. Quick ahead 25 years, and the brothers (each performed by Theo James) have grow to be estranged. However when the monkey doll resurfaces, they’re compelled to reunite to finish the curse for good.

‘Clown in a Cornfield’ (Shudder)
Comedy-slashers are again in vogue with “Coronary heart Eyes” mixing horror and humor again in February, and “Clown in a Cornfield” bringing the identical combination to the summer season months.
It’s definitely no “Scream,” nevertheless it does play with the viewers’s expectations in some novel methods. Nonetheless, the ultimate reveal is severely by-product of Edgar Wright’s improbable cop comedy “Scorching Fuzz,” which lessens its impression. In any other case, it’s a slasher with some grizzly kills and a few very irritating characters, ones that make irritating selections too typically.
Based mostly on the novel of the identical identify by Adam Cesare, it follows highschool scholar Quinn (Katie Douglas) and her father (Aaron Abrams) as they relocate to the small city of Kettle Springs. The quaint city has fallen on laborious instances within the wake of a manufacturing facility fireplace destroying its major trade, and issues get even worse when a sinister clown named Frendo begins stalking Quinn and her new buddies.

‘Freaky Tales’ (HBO Max)
If my social media feeds are any indication, Pedro Pascal fatigue seems to be sweeping the web. Nonetheless, when you’re not affected by this unusual phenomenon, you’ll be happy to see “Freaky Tales” is heading to HBO Max this week after a restricted theatrical launch again in April.
This anthology action-comedy is cut up into 4 interconnected chapters and focuses on actual historic occasions that happened throughout 1987 in Oakland, California.
