Time to plan a movie night!
The home streaming streaming calendar is a little bit quieter in August than it was last month when three of the top 5 movies of the year at the box office dropped all at once — most of the action is in movie theaters, where The Odyssey and the latest Spider-Man flick are dominating pop culture. But there's still plenty of fun to be had at home on your streaming service of choice, especially if you love good thrillers, music films, or documentaries. And, somehow, we even have a new cut of a nearly two-decade-old X-Files movie.
So while the August roster of new streaming movies may seem a little mundane after last month's deluge of blockbusters, there's actually a lot of low-key interesting stuff worth taking a look at. Here's what's coming to Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, Prime Video, and more.
Note: The list includes movies coming to major subscription streaming services for the first time; new movies to stream at home that are only available for purchase or rent were not included in this list.
