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

Looking for something to watch on Peacock? Here are ten movies to choose from, including new releases, family-friendly options, and some all-time favorites. We’ve highlighted the newest additions first, then added popular and well-loved films to help you find the perfect movie for any mood without endless searching.

‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ (2025)

Gareth Edwards directed and David Koepp wrote ‘Jurassic World Rebirth,’ the latest installment in the ‘Jurassic World’ series, following the events of ‘Jurassic World Dominion.’ Starring Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey, the film debuted in June 2025 and quickly expanded to theaters nationwide in early July. It then became available on Peacock as part of Universal’s streaming plan. The production features extensive on-location filming and the impressive visual effects the franchise is known for, and continues to be a popular title on Peacock after a successful run in cinemas around the world.

‘M3GAN 2.0’ (2025)

This new movie from Blumhouse, directed by Gerard Johnstone and written by Akela Cooper, continues the story started in their previous AI thriller. It first appeared in theaters in late June 2025, and like other Universal films, it will be available to stream on Peacock before moving to other platforms. An unrated version was released for home viewing after its theatrical run. The sequel aims to build on the success of the first film and will follow the same release pattern: theaters first, then Peacock.

‘How to Train Your Dragon’ (2025)

Dean DeBlois, who directed the original, is back to direct this new live-action version of the popular DreamWorks movie. Mason Thames and Nico Parker star as Hiccup and Astrid. The film was released in theaters in June 2025 and became available to stream on Peacock in October 2025. The production keeps the look and feel of the original while bringing the dragons and the world of Berk to life using a mix of live action and visual effects. Because the film did well in theaters over the summer, the studio is already planning a sequel.

‘The Grinch’ (2018)

Illumination’s animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ beloved story stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the Grinch in a cheerful, family-focused holiday adventure set in Whoville. Directed by Scott Mosier and Yarrow Cheney, the film did very well in theaters during the holidays and continues to be a popular choice for streaming each year. Its simple story and silly humor make it a great option for kids. You can often find it streaming on Peacock during the holiday season.

‘How to Train Your Dragon 2’ (2014)

The sequel to Dean DeBlois’ How to Train Your Dragon takes place five years later and brings back Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, and Gerard Butler as voice actors. The film was a major success, earning over $621 million globally and winning a Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature. It also received numerous Annie Awards and an Academy Award nomination. The film continues to be popular and will be featured alongside the upcoming live-action movie on Peacock in 2025.

‘Monster House’ (2006)

Gil Kenan’s first feature film is a fun, spooky adventure about a house that’s actually alive. The story moves quickly, clocking in at just 90 minutes, and was written by Dan Harmon, Rob Schrab, and Pamela Pettler. Produced by Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis, the film uses performance-capture animation to create a unique visual style. It’s a good, not-too-scary choice for families looking for a little Halloween fun.

‘Corpse Bride’ (2005)

Tim Burton and Mike Johnson co-directed this stop-motion animated film about a man who mistakenly marries a woman from the world of the dead. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter provide the voices for the main characters, and Danny Elfman composed the music. The film debuted at the Venice Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Its short length and distinctive dark style make it a great choice for any film collection.

‘Scary Movie’ (2000)

Keenen Ivory Wayans directed this funny movie, which playfully makes fun of popular teen slasher films and other trends from the late 1990s. The film starred Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Shawn Wayans, and Marlon Wayans, and it quickly became a box office hit, earning $278 million worldwide. It was so successful that it led to several sequels. Many people still consider the first movie the best for a quick, silly take on horror films.

‘Scream’ (1996)

Wes Craven’s film Scream playfully deconstructs horror movie tropes, focusing on Sidney Prescott as she’s stalked in Woodsboro. Starring Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Drew Barrymore, the movie breathed new life into the slasher genre in the late 1990s. It earned over $170 million globally and launched a successful series of sequels. Its iconic opening and clever, self-aware style have made it a beloved modern classic.

‘Ghostbusters’ (1984)

As a total movie fan, let me tell you about Ghostbusters. It’s a hilarious supernatural comedy directed by Ivan Reitman, and it follows a group of parapsychologists who decide to start a ghost-removal service right in New York City. The cast is incredible – Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and even Rick Moranis! It absolutely owned the summer of ’84, and it didn’t stop there – it became this huge franchise with everything from toys to cartoons. It’s a classic, and rightly so – it was added to the National Film Registry in 2015. Oh, and can we talk about the theme song? Ray Parker Jr.’s tune was everywhere and totally topped the charts!

I’m really curious to know what everyone’s planning to watch on Peacock this weekend! Let me know what’s at the top of your list in the comments, and if you have any suggestions for what they should add next, I’d love to hear those too.
