Although a selection of new movies will debut in theaters this weekend, it’s likely to be much of the same when it comes to the top of the box office charts. For the second week running, it is expected that the Ryan Gosling-led sci-fi flick Project Hail Mary will take second place, and the long-awaited video game adaptation The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will top the charts. However, with many millions having already indulged in the space exploration of both these movies, that leaves room in the calendar to fill with more films. To help you decide what to watch from the comfort of your own home, here’s a look at three movies you should stream this weekend on Netflix.
