Here Are the Best Movies to Stream this Weekend on Peacock, Including ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’

If you’re scrolling through Peacock and want a quick plan for movie night, here are ten titles available right now that cover new franchise entries, seasonal family picks, and a few stone-cold classics. We prioritized the freshest arrivals first, then rounded things out with fan favorites and genre mainstays so you can match the watch to your mood without digging.

‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ (2025)

Directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp, ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ continues the saga after ‘Jurassic World Dominion’ with a new ensemble led by Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey. The film premiered in June 2025 and expanded wide in early July before entering its initial Peacock window as part of Universal’s pay-TV strategy. Large-scale location work and franchise-standard effects anchor the production. It remains a top Peacock draw following its strong global theatrical run.

‘M3GAN 2.0’ (2025)

This Blumhouse sequel reunites director Gerard Johnstone and writer Akela Cooper for another AI-thriller chapter that rolled out theatrically in late June 2025. As with other Universal releases, the first streaming window includes Peacock before later platform moves and eventual returns. An unrated home version followed after the film’s summer release. The sequel builds on the original’s viral footprint while staying in the franchise’s theatrical-to-Peacock pipeline.

‘How to Train Your Dragon’ (2025)

Dean DeBlois returns to helm the live-action reimagining of DreamWorks’ hit, with Mason Thames and Nico Parker starring as Hiccup and Astrid. The feature opened in June 2025 and began its initial Peacock streaming window in October 2025. Production retains core design motifs while translating dragons and Berk into a hybrid live-action/VFX format. A follow-up is already positioned by the studio after the film’s solid summer performance.

‘The Grinch’ (2018)

Illumination’s take on Dr. Seuss’ classic features Benedict Cumberbatch voicing the title character in a bright, family-friendly holiday caper set in Whoville. Directed by Scott Mosier and Yarrow Cheney, the film became a seasonal box-office success and a recurring end-of-year streamer. Its streamlined story and playful slapstick make it a go-to option for younger viewers. The movie routinely resurfaces on Peacock during the holiday period.

‘How to Train Your Dragon 2’ (2014)

Dean DeBlois’ sequel expands the world of Berk five years after the original, with Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, and Gerard Butler returning to the voice cast. The film premiered at Cannes, earned more than $621 million worldwide, and won the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature. Awards attention included multiple Annie wins and an Academy Award nomination. It remains a key catalog title that pairs naturally with the 2025 live-action film on Peacock.

‘Monster House’ (2006)

Gil Kenan’s feature debut blends kid-adventure rhythms with a spooky premise about a neighborhood home that’s literally alive. The screenplay by Dan Harmon, Rob Schrab, and Pamela Pettler supports a brisk 90-minute runtime, with Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis among the producers via Amblin/ImageMovers. Performance-capture animation gives the film its distinct look. It’s a compact, PG-friendly option for a mild fright night.

‘Corpse Bride’ (2005)

Co-directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson, this stop-motion feature follows a groom who accidentally pledges himself to a bride from the land of the dead. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter lead the voice cast, with Danny Elfman providing the score. After premiering at Venice, the film earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature. Its concise runtime and Gothic design make it an easy catalog pick.

‘Scary Movie’ (2000)

Keenen Ivory Wayans directs this parody that targets late-’90s teen slashers and assorted pop-culture staples. The ensemble—Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Shawn Wayans, and Marlon Wayans among them—propelled the film to a number-one opening and a $278 million worldwide gross. Its success launched a multi-sequel comedy series. The original remains the go-to entry for a quick hit of broad horror parody.

‘Scream’ (1996)

Wes Craven’s meta-slasher follows Sidney Prescott in Woodsboro while riffing on horror “rules” from Kevin Williamson’s screenplay. The cast includes Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Drew Barrymore, and the film revitalized the slasher genre in the late ’90s. It grossed over $170 million worldwide and sparked a long-running franchise. The opening sequence and self-aware structure cemented its status as a modern classic.

‘Ghostbusters’ (1984)

Ivan Reitman directs the supernatural comedy about parapsychologists launching a ghost-removal business in New York City. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Rick Moranis headline the ensemble. The film dominated summer 1984, expanded into a multimedia franchise, and was added to the National Film Registry in 2015. Ray Parker Jr.’s theme song also became a chart-topping hit.
