Most popular movies on Max this week
Thanks to streaming, movie lovers no longer rely on DVDs and digital rentals to catch the latest film on their watch list. Instead, they can enjoy a deep catalog of movies included with their subscriptions to platforms like Max.
The streaming provider often features movies connected to newer hit films and TV shows. The release of James Gunn's "Superman" reboot in July 2025 has reinvigorated interest in the original 1978 film, just as FX on Hulu's "Alien: Earth" series—which premiered in August 2025—has folks tuning into 2017's "Alien: Covenant." Of course, anyone interested in seeing "The Conjuring: Last Rites," which hit theaters on Sept. 5, 2025, might be brushing up on the earlier movies in the franchise.
There's also plenty of evergreen content to choose from. While Max's catalog changes month to month, you can also enjoy collections ranging from Turner Classic Movies to Studio Ghibli, depending on your interests.
