Must-Watch Movies on HBO Max This Weekend
HBO Max’s lineup this weekend features three standout films—two of which are sequels hitting theaters soon. Whether you’re preparing for a night out at the movies or just looking for a great stream, these picks deliver.
1. Marty Supreme (A24)
Marty Supreme has surged to the top of HBO Max’s most-streamed films since its recent release. Timothée Chalamet delivers an award-worthy performance as a man obsessed with becoming the greatest table tennis player in history.
More than just a high-energy character study, Marty Supreme is also one of the best sports movies of the past decade. If you saw it in theaters, now’s the time to revisit it. If you missed it, don’t wait any longer.
2. The Devil Wears Prada (20th Century Fox)
The sequel to The Devil Wears Prada arrives in theaters this Friday, but first, revisit the original. This iconic 2006 comedy, starring Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, remains as sharp today as it was nearly 20 years ago.
If you’ve only caught snippets on social media or TV, now’s your chance to watch the full film before the sequel’s release. There’s no better time to stream it.
3. Mortal Kombat (Warner Bros.)
Mortal Kombat premiered on HBO Max in 2022 as a pandemic-era direct-to-streaming release, but it’s worth a second look. The action-packed film features well-choreographed fight sequences and a deep dive into the video game’s lore, including fan-favorite characters like Sub-Zero and Scorpion.
While it’s unclear how much of the original will carry into the upcoming sequel—set to introduce the legendary Mortal Kombat tournament—the film remains a fun, adrenaline-fueled ride.
Note: The sequel to Mortal Kombat is set to expand the franchise with the titular tournament.
