From How To Train Your Dragon to FUBAR 2: Here's what to binge on this weekend
Looking to relax and catch up on something good this weekend? Whether you are into crime thrillers, nostalgic reboots, animated adventures, or sci-fi with a twist, there is something across the platforms to keep your screen time solid. Here is a rundown of what's worth checking out:
1. Echo Valley (Apple TV+)
Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney team up in this moody mother-daughter drama with a crime twist. It is dark, emotional, and full of suspense – good for a Friday night with no distractions.
2. Deep Cover (Prime Video)
Deep Cover, directed by Tom Kingsley, is a wild action-comedy that follows three improv actors who get pulled into real undercover work by the police. Set in London's gritty underworld, they are forced to use their stage skills to pose as criminals.
3. FUBAR — Season 2 (Netflix)
Arnold Schwarzenegger is back in action as a CIA dad. It is goofy and explosive. If you liked Season 1, the sequel just amps it up.
4. Twin Peaks / Twin Peaks: The Return (Mubi)
David Lynch's legendary series and its mind-bending follow-up are streaming together on Mubi. If you have never seen it (or want to rewatch it), this is the weekend to get weird.
5. Jaws (Peacock)
Not just Jaws, but the whole sharky lineup is swimming onto Peacock this weekend: Jaws, Jaws 2, Jaws III, and Jaws: The Revenge. It is peak summer chaos – beach towns, big teeth, and that unforgettable score.
6. How To Train Your Dragon (In Theaters)
How to Train Your Dragon is a live-action reimagining of the beloved 2010 animated film, which was itself inspired by Cressida Cowell's 2003 book. This new version brings the fantasy world of Vikings and dragons to life with real sets, a fresh cast, and a more grounded visual style.
7. Resident Alien — Season 4 (SyFy)
Alan Tudyk's role as the awkward alien trying to blend in with humans continues to be charming, odd and surprisingly heartfelt. Season 4 is rolling out with more quirky small-town drama and cosmic shenanigans.
8. BMF — Season 4 (Starz)
The Black Mafia Family saga returns with more grit and tension. It's fast-paced, grounded in real events, and continues to explore power, loyalty and hustle.
9. Murderbot (Apple TV+)
This sci-fi action comedy is created by Paul and Chris Weitz. Based on All Systems Red from Martha Wells' hit The Murderbot Diaries, it follows a sarcastic, self-aware security droid who just wants to binge TV and be left alone, but keeps getting dragged into saving humans.

Decoding the Economics of Kuberaa: Dhanush, Nagarjuna and Rashmika Mandanna film recovers Rs 85 crore from non-theatrical sources
Sekhar Kammula's Kuberaa starring Dhanush, Nagarjuna, Rashmika Mandanna and a host of other actors, is all set for a grand theatrical release on 20th June, 2025. The film's trailer was released in grand fashion, at the audio launch event attended by the cast and crew of the movie. The advance bookings are set to open very shortly and the excitement is high. Let's dive deep into the film's economics and understand how well it is placed, as it hits theatres. Kuberaa was sanctioned as a Rs 100 crore budget film. However, the movie went overbudget by around Rs 20 crore, making it a Rs 120 crore budget film. With Print and Publicity expenses of Rs 10 crore, the total cost of the film stands at around Rs 130 crore. The movie has recovered a hefty amount of Rs 85 crore from non-theatrical revenue sources. Prime Video has purchased the digital rights (all languages) of the film for Rs 50 crore. The music rights have been sold off for a sum of Rs 15 crore. Star Maa has bought the satellite rights of Kuberaa for Rs 20 crore. The non-theatrical recoveries have provided the producers with a good cushion despite their movie going overbudget. The movie needs to recover Rs 45 crore theatrically and for that, it will need to do atleast Rs 100 crore gross worldwide. This does not seem like a task for the star-studded crime thriller. If the movie strikes a chord, this number should be crossed in the first few days itself. The Economics Of Kuberaa Are As Under Dhanush 's highest grossing movie to date is his last film Raayan, which grossed slightly over Rs 150 crore. He is on the crest of a wave, targeting to score his highest grosser, again, with Kuberaa. Whether the actor delivers his highest grosser and his biggest hit is to be seen. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on Kuberaa.
