5 top new movies to stream this week on Netflix, HBO Max, Disney Plus and more (June 17-23)
There's plenty of noteworthy new movies across the best streaming services this week, with a little something for everyone from gruesome horror to an inspiring space-themed doc. However, I think the biggest newcomer is the arrival of 'A Minecraft Movie' on HBO Max. I'm no fan of the flick; it ranks in my 5 least favorite movies of 2025 to date (sorry, Minecrafters), but its box office-breaking success suggests I'm in the minority camp with this opinion. Other top new picks include 'Final Destination Bloodlines' arriving on premium video-on-demand streaming platforms, and Netflix's new vibrant animation from the studio behind 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,' 'Kpop Demon Hunters' — yes, that is a real movie that you can watch this week. If you're looking for something fresh to stream over the next seven days, you've come to the right place. And also don't forget to check out our guide to the best TV news shows this week. The return of the iconic 'Final Destination' series was a long time coming and after more than a decade's wait, 'Final Destination Bloodlines' proved more than worthy of the franchise's name. I'd go as far as to say it might even be the best installment to date; it's certainly top two, in my opinion. The passage of time certainly helps the formula of a cast of characters being stalked by death feel fresh again, but 'Bloodlines' makes some subtly creative (and super bloody) choices that work a treat. As all 'Final Destination' movies do, 'Bloodlines' begins with a bombastic premonition, where a character sees a vision of future death to come, managing to save a few people, death quickly comes back to claim those who escaped his master plan. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. However, the wrinkle here is that this time it's the grandchildren of one of the survivors who are being hunted. Alongside this new spin, 'Bloodlines' still offers all the outrageously gory deaths you'd expect from a 'Final Destination' movie and has an enjoyable self-aware streak as well. Buy or rent on Amazon from June 17 My local theatre hasn't yet screened 'Friendship,' so I'm particularly pleased to see it arrive on streaming this week because the comedic combo of Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd sounds absolutely perfect. Based on the movie's critical reception (it's currently rated 88% on Rotten Tomatoes), it looks like the team-up of Rudd and Robinson was just as good in practice as it sounded on paper. This one certainly seems worth the rental fee. In 'Friendship,' Tim Robinson plays Craig, a suburban husband and father whose wife is growing frustrated with his increasing emotional distance. When he meets a neighbor, Austin (Rudd), the two strike up a close friendship. But their fast relationship might just be the catalyst for the destruction of both their lives. It kinda looks like a quirky version of Rudd's other bromance comedy, 'I Love You, Man,' and that's one heck of an elevator pitch to me. Buy or rent on Amazon from June 17 Sally Ride was an extremely inspirational figure as the first American woman to travel to space (and only the third overall). This new documentary aims to celebrate her life and a litany of incredible achievements. It's sure to be a documentary that will inspire viewers and also remind us just how small our place in the universe truly is. Also, it's simultaneously hitting both Hulu and Disney Plus, so the House of Mouse is giving this a big push. Beyond Sally's incredible achievements while working at NASA, the movie also explores her life beyond her important work, highlighting the deeply personal story that was going on behind the scenes. Her 27-year relationship with science educator Tam O'Shaughnessy is a key part of the documentary, with 'Sally' showcasing how the pair had to make numerous sacrifices in their professional and personal lives to keep their romance under wraps. Watch on Hulu and Disney Plus from June 17 If I selected movies on this list based on the titles alone, then Netflix's 'KPop Demon Hunters' would deserve the top spot, because the eyebrow-raising name is surely going to help this animated musical action-comedy stand out in the crowded Netflix library. I'm a little surprised to learn that this isn't based on a pre-existing manga or anime, or created in collaboration with a real pop band. Instead, it's an original property from Sony Pictures Animation. Consider me intrigued to see the final result. The movie focuses on a Kpop super group, comprised of Rumi (voiced by Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong) and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo), who spend their time leaping between sell-out stadium shows and, you've guessed it, hunting demons. They must rise to the occasion when they face their biggest threat yet, a rival boy band who are really demons in disguise. I'm not a Kpop aficionado whatsoever, but the fantastic 'Spiderverse'-like animation style is enough for this movie to have already earned a place in my Netflix watchlist. Watch on Netflix from June 20 If you've been desperate to scream 'Chicken Jockey' at the top of your lungs in your own living room, then you'll be delighted to know that 'A Minecraft Movie' is streaming on HBO Max from Friday (June 20). Just don't ask me what the term means, I'm still not really sure. Beyond the many memes, the movie is a sugary blockbuster bursting with colorful effects and larger-than-life characters. Whether you find it entertaining or just highly irritating is a matter of personal taste, but you can't deny its cultural impact. Starring Jack Black, Jason Momoa and Danielle Brooks, this wild adventure is inspired by the juggernaut block-building video game of the same name, and sees a quartet of misfits stumble upon a strange blocky land known as the Overworld. Here, they team up with a zany crafter, Steve (Black), and set out on a quest to save the Minecraft universe from an army of sinister pigs. Watch on HBO Max from June 20

Doctor agrees to plead guilty in connection with Matthew Perry's death
A doctor, accused of providing ketamine to 'Friends' actor Matthew Perry, has agreed to plead guilty, according to a plea agreement filed Monday. Perry died of a drug overdose and was found unresponsive in his hot tub in October 2023. File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo June 16 (UPI) -- A doctor, accused of providing ketamine to "Friends" star Matthew Perry, has agreed to plead guilty in connection with the actor's death, according to court documents filed Monday. Dr. Salvador Plasencia is expected to plead guilty to four counts of distribution of ketamine, per the plea agreement. The Santa Monica, Calif., physician could face up to 40 years in federal prison, while the recommended sentence in the agreement is somewhere between 15 and 21 months. Plasencia, who is expected to enter his plea in the next few weeks, was one of five people charged in connection with Perry's ketamine death in October 2023. Perry, 54, was found unresponsive in a hot tub at his Pacific Palisades home. Plasencia would not be the first to plead guilty in connection with Perry's death. A second doctor charged in the case, Dr. Mark Chavez, previously agreed to a plea deal. According to Monday's plea agreement, Plasencia admitted to working with Chavez and sold "twenty 5ml vials of ketamine, less than a full package of ketamine lozenges, and syringes," to Perry's personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa. Former U.S. attorney for the Central District of California Martin Estrada said at the time he filed charges that Plasencia was looking to make a profit off of Perry and wanted to become his sole supplier. "I wonder how much this moron will pay?" Estrada said Plasencia wrote in September 2023, one month before Perry's death. Iwamasa and Erik Fleming, who according to prosecutors brokered the drug deals, have also pleaded guilty. The fifth defendant, Jasveen Sangha, continues to fight drug dealing charges. Her trial is scheduled for August.
