Spider-Man: Brand New Daymight’ve overtaken Star Wars: The Force Awakens to become the highest-grossing film of all time at the domestic box office, but its time as the most dominant force in theaters is over. Now, the MCU’s latest blockbuster is dropping dramatically, being overtaken in the daily ranks by The Odyssey, despite Christopher Nolan‘s ambitious historical epic being available in over 1,000 fewer locations. With the box office not as relevant as it was a couple of weeks ago, why not fill your weekend with streaming? With that in mind, here’s a look at threePrime Video movies you should watch this weekend.

‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train’ (2020)
Rotten Tomatoes: 98% | IMDb: 8.2/10
Once the holder of the opening weekend box office record for an anime title in America, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train, is one of the most exciting new additions to Prime Video, having joined the platform earlier this week alongside the first four seasons of the Demon Slayer anime series. This weekend, it should be right at the top of your watchlist.
Documenting Tanjiro Kamado’s journey as a demon slayer, Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train is his most difficult mission yet, as he and his companions face their first direct battle against the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji’s elite inner circle. For utterly immersive, explosive action and drama this weekend, you can never go wrong with anime, especially not one of the best in recent memory.
Collider Exclusive · Horror Survival Quiz Which Horror Villain Do You Have the Best Chance of Surviving? Jason Voorhees · Michael Myers · Freddy Krueger · Pennywise · Chucky
Five killers. Five completely different ways to die — if you’re not smart enough, fast enough, or self-aware enough to avoid it. Only one of them is the villain your particular set of instincts gives you a fighting chance against. Eight questions will figure out which one.
🏕️Jason
🔪Michael
💤Freddy
🎈Pennywise
🪆Chucky
01
Something feels wrong. You can’t explain it — you just know. What do you do? First instincts are the difference between the survivor and the first act casualty.
02
Where are you most likely to find yourself when things go wrong? Setting is everything in horror. Where you are determines which rules apply.
03
What is your most reliable survival asset? Every survivor has a quality the villain didn’t account for. What’s yours?
04
What kind of fear is hardest for you to fight through? Knowing your weakness is the first step to not dying because of it.
05
You’re with a group when things start going wrong. What’s your role? Horror movies are brutally clear about who survives group situations and who doesn’t.
06
What’s the horror movie mistake you’re most likely to make? Honest self-assessment is a survival skill. Denial is not.
07
What’s your best weapon against something that can’t be stopped by conventional means? Every horror villain has a weakness. The survivors are always the ones who find it.
08
It’s the final scene. You’re the last one standing. How did you make it? The final survivor always has a reason. What’s yours?
Your Survival Odds Have Been Calculated Your Best Chance Is Against…
Your instincts, your strengths, and your particular way of thinking under pressure point to one villain you actually have a fighting chance against. Everyone else — good luck.
Camp Crystal Lake · Friday the 13th
Jason Voorhees
Jason is relentless, but he is also predictable — and that is the gap you would exploit.
He moves in straight lines toward his target. He doesn’t strategise, doesn’t adapt, doesn’t outsmart. He simply pursues.
Your ability to keep moving, use the environment, and resist the panic that freezes most victims gives you a genuine edge.
The Crystal Lake survivors were always the ones who stopped running in circles and started thinking about terrain, water, and distance.
You think like that. Which means Jason, for all his indestructibility, would face someone who simply refused to be where he expected.
Haddonfield, Illinois · Halloween
Michael Myers
Michael watches before he moves. He is patient, methodical, and almost impossible to detect — until it’s too late for anyone who isn’t paying close enough attention.
But you are paying attention. You notice the shape in the window, the car parked slightly wrong, the silence where there should be sound.
Michael’s power lies in the invisibility of ordinary suburbia — the fact that nothing ever looks wrong until it already is.
Your spatial awareness and instinct to map every room, every exit, and every shadow before you need them is precisely the quality Laurie Strode had.
You are not a victim waiting to happen. You are someone who already suspects something is wrong — and acts on it.
Elm Street · A Nightmare on Elm Street
Freddy Krueger
Freddy wins by getting inside your head — using your own fears, your own memories, your own subconscious as weapons against you. That strategy requires a target who can be destabilised.
You are harder to destabilise than most. You’ve faced uncomfortable truths about yourself and you haven’t looked away.
The survivors on Elm Street were always the ones who understood what was happening and chose to face it rather than flee from it.
Freddy’s greatest weakness is that his power evaporates in the presence of someone who refuses to give him the fear he feeds on.
Your psychological resilience — the ability to stay grounded when reality itself becomes unreliable — is exactly the quality that keeps you alive here.
Derry, Maine · It
Pennywise
Pennywise is ancient, shapeshifting, and feeds on terror — but it has one critical vulnerability: it cannot function against someone who genuinely stops being afraid of it.
The Losers Club didn’t survive because they were braver than everyone else. They survived because they faced their fears together, and faced them honestly.
You ask the questions others avoid. You look directly at what frightens you rather than turning away.
That directness — the refusal to let fear fester in the dark — is Pennywise’s worst nightmare.
It chose the wrong target when it chose you. You are exactly the kind of person whose fear tastes like nothing at all.
Chicago · Child’s Play
Chucky
Chucky’s greatest advantage is that nobody takes him seriously until it’s already too late. He exploits the gap between how something looks and what it actually is.
You don’t have that gap. You take threats seriously regardless of how they present — and you never make the mistake of underestimating something because of its size or appearance.
Chucky relies on surprise, on the delay between recognition and response. You close that delay faster than almost anyone.
Your instinct to treat every unfamiliar thing with appropriate scepticism — rather than dismissing it because it seems absurd — is the exact quality that keeps you breathing.
Against Chucky, not laughing is already winning. You are very good at not laughing.

‘Bombshell’ (2019)
Rotten Tomatoes: 67% | IMDb: 6.8/10
Another new arrival to Prime Video this month, having landed on the platform on September 10, is Bombshell, a #MeToo movie from director Jay Roach, who most recently delivered the biting comedy The Roses, starring Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch. The film is set in the middle of a fight for justice at FOX News and against the company’s CEO, Roger Ailes.
An enthralling drama that feels even more vital today than seven years ago, Bombshell is both an important watch and thoroughly entertaining. The film was a big hit with critics, with Margot Robbie and Charlize Theron both receiving Academy Award nominations in the Best Supporting Actress category, alongside an Oscar win for the film in Best Achievement in Makeup and Hairstyling.
3
‘Weapons’ (2025)
Rotten Tomatoes: 93% | IMDb: 7.4/10
This weekend, horror fans are getting a big-screen treat as director Zach Cregger brings his latest skin-crawling effort, Resident Evil, to theaters. Already, Resident Evil is receiving widespread acclaim, but can it live up to Cregger’s 2025 gem — and the film you should be streaming this weekend — Weapons?
A twisting mystery haunted by horrifying imagery and an immersive narrative style, Weapons was one of the biggest breakout horror hits of 2025, even eventually making an impact at the highest level, as Amy Madigan‘s standout performance as Aunt Gladys won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar at this year’s 98th Academy Awards. Also starring Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Benedict Wong, and more, Weapons will chill you to your core before delivering one of the most memorable and darkly comic endings of the decade.
