5 best new movies to stream this weekend on Netflix, Peacock, AMC+ and more (May 16-17)

Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace in "Project Hail Mary" (2026) from Amazon MGM Studios.

Spring is in the air, and the best streaming services are delivering a bouquet of new movies for you to add to your watchlist this weekend. Leading the pack this week is the sci-fi blockbuster "Project Hail Mary," which finally debuted on paid video-on-demand platforms. If you missed it in theaters, it's definitely worth a watch, if only to watch a little rock alien steal the show from one of the biggest names in Hollywood.

Meanwhile, Netflix is serving up Sony Pictures Animation's latest animated adventure, "Goat," which promises more eye-catching visuals and family-friendly humor. If you're burnt out from true crime documentaries, AMC+ has a new cerebral take on the genre with "Zodiac Killer Project" that critics are raving about. Peacock's latest documentary, "The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist," is also garnering plenty of attention for its intimately personal breakdown of the rise of artificial intelligence through the lens of one soon-to-be-father. Finally, Shudder just got a tense romantic thriller "Something Is About to Happen" that's haunted my thoughts ever since I watched it.
