As the weather warms across the country, a lot of people are getting outside to spend time away from their screens. But what if you\u2019re an indoor kid? What if you want to watch a movie instead of going for a walk? What should you watch? How about one of these eight movies that are just barely out of theaters, available for you at a slightly increased premium-video-on-demand price? There\u2019s a Soderbergh, Lowery, and Wheatley in here along with one of the biggest films of 2026 to date. Find your flavor.<\/p>\n
Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, 108 minutes<\/p>\n
Samara Weaving returns to her breakout role as Grace MacCaullay in a sequel that explodes the concept of the original 2019 thriller \u2014 in which Grace is hunted by the family of her fianc\u00e9 as part of a satanic ritual \u2014 to create its own mythology. Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, David Cronenberg, and Elijah Wood star in a gorefest that picks up right after the end of the last movie and features five families hunting our heroine. Available on VOD.<\/a><\/p>\n Steven Soderbergh, 100 minutes<\/p>\n Sir Ian McKellen stars as Julian Sklar, a reclusive painter who started a series in the \u201990s known as The Christophers. His children hire Lori Butler (Michaela Coel) to finish the job, working alongside their dad and then completing the paintings herself in his style, so that they can sell them after Dad dies. The intersection of business and art is only one of the fascinating themes in Ed Solomon\u2019s razor-sharp script, one that McKellen and Coel savor like a great meal. Available on VOD.<\/a><\/p>\n Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, 156 minutes<\/p>\n A presumptive major contender at next year\u2019s Oscars, this enormous critical and commercial darling ($675 million and counting worldwide) is one of the most essential films of the year so far. You need to see it, but try and watch it on the best screen you can. Ryan Gosling plays a guy who wakes up on the edge of the universe with no idea why he\u2019s there. With the help of an alien who becomes his BFF, he slowly remembers his mission and realizes that he is the only person who can save Earth. It\u2019s smart, funny, and moving, proof that there\u2019s still life in the Hollywood blockbuster if it\u2019s made by the right people. Available on VOD.<\/a><\/p>\n Lee Cronin, 133 minutes<\/p>\n The director of Evil Dead Rise was tasked with breathing new life into the legend of The Mummy, a franchise that has changed in tone multiple times over the history of film, from the Boris Karloff originals to the Brendan Fraser blockbusters to whatever that Tom Cruise nonsense was. Cronin\u2019s approach is to lean into the horror \u2014 with very few changes this could have been an Evil Dead sequel. Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, and May Calamawy star in a story of a family whose missing daughter returns to them in, well, not exactly the same condition. If you like your Universal monsters with some gore, this is one for you. Available on VOD.<\/a><\/p>\n David Lowery, 112 minutes<\/p>\n Almost no one saw this A24 drama in theaters in April, but it deserves a bigger audience on the home market. The director of The Green Knight has crafted a psychosexual tale of a famous pop star (Anne Hathaway) who reunites with the former friend (Michaela Coel) who designed her image in the first place when she needs a new costume for a big show. It\u2019s not an easy film, but Lowery is tackling so many fascinating issues with a unique voice and visual palette that it shouldn\u2019t be so easily ignored. It\u2019s time for a comeback for it already. Available on VOD.<\/a><\/p>\n Ben Wheatley, 91 minutes<\/p>\n What if Fargo were an action movie is basically the idea behind this flick from the director of Kill List and Free Fire. Bob Odenkirk continues his trajectory to be an unexpected action star as the interim sheriff of a small town called Normal, Minnesota. When a bank robbery goes wrong, he discovers that the town has a lot more secrets than your average American city. Lena Headey and Henry Winkler co-star in a film that did surprisingly well for a small company like Magnolia, largely on the back of a great publicity tour from Odenkirk. Available on VOD.<\/a><\/p>\n Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, 98 minutes<\/p>\n It\u2019s a-me, the biggest movie of the year. Seriously, these movies are enormous, with this one about to cross $1 billion worldwide while you read this. They tap into so many generations, hitting nostalgic beats with Gen-Xers and millennials while also appealing to their kids and maybe even grandkids. The plot doesn\u2019t really matter so we won\u2019t pretend like you care. It\u2019s about the bright colors, things you loved when you were a kid, and a way to turn your brain off for an hour and a half. Available on VOD.<\/a><\/p>\n Markiplier, 125 minutes<\/p>\n There are blockbusters that made more money, but the success of this film is one of the most interesting film stories of 2026 because it was done entirely outside the studio system. Made and released by YouTuber Markiplier, this $50-million-plus hit found its audience through untraditional means, and it looked like it might not even have a VOD or physical media release. It turns out it will be exclusively on YouTube Movies on May 31, and a physical release is in the works, one that the director is reportedly running out of his own home. Of course he is.
