This week, viewers are watching a lot of different types of films – from action-packed adventures and funny holiday comedies to suspenseful thrillers. These popular choices show what people are currently enjoying, offering both familiar comfort and fresh stories. Here are the movies that have been most popular on the platform recently.

‘Roofman’ (2025)

This crime drama, released on December 9, 2025, tells the real story of a notorious burger-chain robber who had a very unusual way of breaking into restaurants. Channing Tatum plays the lead role, portraying a man who escaped from prison and hid out in a toy store while trying to avoid capture. The film follows his crimes and the investigation that ultimately led to his arrest. It’s quickly become a popular choice for viewers on the streaming platform.

‘The Naked Gun’ (2025)

The 2025 reimagining of the classic comedy brings back the silly, physical humor fans loved, but for a new audience. Liam Neeson stars as Frank Drebin Jr., stumbling through a series of ridiculous scenarios and over-the-top gags. The movie honors the original films starring Leslie Nielsen while also adding a fresh, contemporary comedic style. It’s quickly become one of the most popular comedies currently available on Paramount+.

‘Extract’ (2009)

Mike Judge’s 2009 comedy centers on the owner of a flavoring extract factory as he navigates the ups and downs of running a small business. Starring Jason Bateman and Mila Kunis, the film uses sharp wit to portray the challenges he faces, from accidents at work to dealing with a manipulative swindler. It’s a popular pick this week for anyone who enjoys dry humor and stories focused on relatable characters.

‘Grudge Match’ (2013)

I absolutely loved this movie! It’s a really funny and heartwarming story about Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro, two boxing legends who come out of retirement for one last fight. They used to be huge rivals, and even after all these years, that old spark is still there. It’s not just about the boxing though; it really makes you think about getting older and what it means to leave a lasting impact. Plus, it’s been getting popular again lately, and I can see why – everyone loves seeing these two icons together!

‘The Contractor’ (2022)

In this 2022 action thriller, Chris Pine plays a former Special Forces soldier who takes a job with a secretive private military group. When a mission fails, he’s forced to go on the run in a foreign country, fighting for his life and trying to figure out why he was sent on the mission in the first place. The film explores issues like how veterans are often left unsupported and the often-hidden dealings of private military companies.

‘Scrooged’ (1988)

This 1988 film is a funny, updated version of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” starring Bill Murray as a grumpy TV executive. In the movie, Frank Cross is haunted by three ghosts on Christmas Eve who try to help him change his selfish ways. Known for its sharp wit and commentary on both the holidays and the world of business, it remains a popular choice for viewers every winter.

‘Daddy’s Home 2’ (2017)

This 2017 movie centers on Brad and Dusty, parents trying to give their kids a wonderful Christmas. Things get tricky when their own dads show up, bringing very different ideas about how to raise children. The clash between the two generations causes funny mishaps and plenty of holiday mayhem. The film is still popular this week thanks to its heartwarming story and great cast.

‘Predators’ (2010)

This 2010 sci-fi film features a team of highly skilled warriors stranded on an alien planet that’s essentially a hunting ground. They quickly discover they’re the prey of a new, technologically superior alien species. Starring Adrien Brody and Laurence Fishburne, the movie follows the survivors as they struggle to escape their hunters. It successfully rebooted the series by focusing on the tense, survival-based thrills of the first film.

‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’ (2025)

Tom Cruise is back as Ethan Hunt in the newest installment of the popular action series, coming in 2025. This time, the IMF team faces a widespread and dangerous enemy, racing against time to stop a global disaster. Expect thrilling, real-action stunts and international spy work – everything fans love about the series. The film is already creating a lot of excitement as details are released.

‘Dear Santa’ (2024)

Okay, so I just saw this hilarious comedy that came out this year, and it’s totally different from your usual Christmas movies. Jack Black plays a demon who accidentally gets a letter meant for Santa – it’s all because of a kid’s spelling mistake! The whole movie is about the crazy stuff that happens when this demon shows up instead of Santa, and honestly, it’s a riot. It’s been getting a lot of buzz this week, and if you’re looking for something a little offbeat for the holidays, you should definitely check it out.
