Peacock has a great selection of movies, including new installments in popular series, family favorites, and classic films – meaning you can easily watch everything from dinosaurs to spooky stories all in one place. Here are ten currently trending options to help you decide what to watch this weekend.

‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ (2025)

Directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp, this new dinosaur film stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey. While it follows the previous movie, it also feels like a fresh, standalone adventure. The film has been a huge success in theaters worldwide and is currently the most popular movie on Peacock, making it a must-see for streaming viewers.

‘M3GAN 2.0’ (2025)

Gerard Johnstone directs the sequel to the hit thriller, with a script by Akela Cooper that takes the story of rogue AI even further. The movie will first be available on Peacock before becoming available on other platforms, and an extended, unrated version will be released for home viewing after its theatrical run. This is the official continuation of the story for fans of the series.

‘How to Train Your Dragon’ (2025)

This new live-action version of the popular DreamWorks movie features Hiccup and Toothless in a combined animated and real-world format, once again directed by Dean DeBlois. Mason Thames and Nico Parker star as the main characters in a large-scale adventure that includes both classic moments and exciting new scenes. After a successful release in theaters, the film became available to stream on Peacock, and plans are already underway for more live-action movies in the future.

‘The Grinch’ (2018)

The animated movie based on Dr. Seuss’s famous story stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the voice of the Grinch, who tries to ruin Christmas for the Whos of Whoville. Directors Scott Mosier and Yarrow Cheney made it a funny, colorful film for the whole family. It was a big success for Universal and Illumination, and it’s become a popular choice to watch every holiday season when festive movies begin airing.

‘Corpse Bride’ (2005)

Directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson, this stop-motion animated film is a dark and whimsical fantasy about a shy groom who mistakenly marries a woman from the afterlife. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter provide the voices for the main characters, and Danny Elfman composed the music. The film is celebrated for its beautiful animation and remains a favorite among animation enthusiasts thanks to its short length and unique look.

‘Monster House’ (2006)

Gil Kenan’s first feature film is about three children who realize the eerie house next door is actually alive. The story was written by Dan Harmon, Rob Schrab, and Pamela Pettler, and it was produced with the help of Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis. Using animation technology and keeping a fast pace, the movie is a great choice for a family night of spooky fun, and it’s a good introduction to the horror genre for kids.

‘Scream’ (1996)

Wes Craven’s Scream playfully deconstructs the horror genre while following Sidney Prescott as a masked killer stalks the town of Woodsboro. The clever script by Kevin Williamson breathed new life into the slasher film, and the movie stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Drew Barrymore. Scream proved incredibly popular, launching a long series of sequels, and is now considered a modern classic thanks to its self-aware style and unforgettable opening scene.

‘Ghostbusters’ (1984)

Directed by Ivan Reitman, this hilarious movie follows three scientists who start a business dedicated to busting ghosts in New York City. Starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Rick Moranis, the film was a huge success in theaters and is now considered a national treasure. It also featured the incredibly popular theme song by Ray Parker Jr., which quickly became a classic.

‘Scary Movie’ (2000)

Keenen Ivory Wayans directed this funny movie that playfully mocks the popular teen slasher films and trends of the late 1990s. Starring Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Shawn Wayans, and Marlon Wayans, it was the first in a series of successful comedies. The film opened at number one in theaters and quickly became a hit around the world, paving the way for many similar, joke-filled spoofs.

‘How to Train Your Dragon 2’ (2014)

Dean DeBlois continues to build the world of Berk in this film, as dragon riders venture beyond their island and encounter new dragon species. The voice cast features Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, and Gerard Butler.
