by

Paramount+ remains a top streaming service, offering a great combination of big action movies, new original shows and films, and beloved classics. This week’s most popular movies show a wide range of tastes, from Tom Cruise’s latest adventures to a popular football drama from the late 90s. Here are the ten most-watched films on the platform this week, with something for everyone.

‘Scream’ (2022)

The latest installment in this classic horror series revisits the town of Woodsboro twenty-five years after the initial wave of terrifying killings. A new Ghostface emerges, terrorizing a new group of teenagers and stirring up dark secrets from the past. The film cleverly connects the original characters – like Sidney, Gale, and Dewey – with a new generation of potential victims and suspects. It’s a smart and self-aware update to the franchise that still delivers the thrills and scares fans love.

‘Boudica’ (2023)

This action-packed historical drama tells the story of Boudica, a Celtic queen who led a rebellion against the Roman Empire. Driven by the murder of her husband and the attack on her daughters, she brings together the divided tribes of Britain to fight for their freedom and seek revenge. Olga Kurylenko powerfully portrays Boudica, bringing intensity to the film’s realistic and violent battle scenes. The movie examines themes of strength in the face of adversity and the harsh consequences of Rome’s growing power in ancient times.

‘Old Guy’ (2025)

Christoph Waltz plays Danny Dolinski, an older hitman trying to prove he’s still got it in a modern world. He’s frustrated when his company pairs him with a young, tech-savvy assassin to train. The funny clash between these two very different characters forms the heart of the movie, as they work together on a risky assignment and try to understand each other’s generations. Directed by Simon West, the film mixes exciting action with clever dialogue, and features Waltz’s trademark charisma.

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

Okay, so the new Mission: Impossible is seriously intense. This is the eighth film, and they’re saying it’s Ethan Hunt’s most dangerous mission yet – and it feels that way! Basically, the IMF is chasing after this unbelievably scary weapon that could end everything if it gets into the wrong hands. And let me tell you, Tom Cruise is still doing absolutely insane practical stunts – the action sequences are all over the world and just breathtaking. The movie really digs into Hunt’s past, too, and he’s forced to deal with the fallout from choices he’s made. It’s a total race against time, and it’s a wild ride.

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ (2022)

Years after being a celebrated Navy pilot, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell is still pushing boundaries as a test pilot. He’s asked to return to Top Gun to train a new group of graduates for an incredibly dangerous mission unlike any ever flown. The movie also focuses on Maverick’s complex relationship with Rooster, the son of his late friend Goose, adding a strong emotional layer to the thrilling aerial action. The film is known for its realistic flight scenes and special effects, and many consider it a sequel that’s as good as – or even better than – the original.

‘Due Justice’ (2023)

This intense thriller follows a former Marine and lawyer, played by Kellan Lutz, whose world falls apart when his wife is killed and his daughter is taken. When the justice system fails him, he decides to take the law into his own hands and track down those responsible. The film is packed with brutal action as he fights his way through the criminal world, delivering a familiar but satisfying story of revenge for fans who like their justice rough and direct.

‘Regretting You’ (2025)

This moving drama, based on the popular novel by Colleen Hoover, tells the story of Morgan Grant and her daughter Clara as they cope with loss and hidden truths after a devastating accident takes the life of their husband and father. Allison Williams and Mckenna Grace give compelling performances as they portray a mother and daughter struggling with grief and misunderstandings that could break their family apart. It’s a heartfelt story about love, betrayal, and the challenging journey toward forgiveness.

‘Varsity Blues’ (1999)

I absolutely love this movie! It’s a classic high school football story, and it really gets into the intense pressure these kids face, especially in a small town where football is everything. The film follows Mox, who suddenly has to step up when the star quarterback gets hurt, but he doesn’t always see eye-to-eye with the coach. What I really appreciate is how it shows both the exciting games and the real-life problems these teenagers are dealing with – they just want a way out and a chance to make something of themselves. James Van Der Beek is fantastic, and his performance really highlights the film’s message about figuring out what success means to you, even when everyone else has different expectations.

‘Roofman’ (2025)

Channing Tatum plays the lead role in this unbelievable true crime story about Jeffrey Manchester, a surprisingly polite serial robber who famously broke into McDonald’s restaurants from above – by cutting through the roofs! The movie follows his unusual crime spree and his even stranger attempt to hide from police inside a Toys “R” Us. It’s a suspenseful, yet funny film that highlights how ridiculous the whole situation was, and features an unexpected love story. Reviewers are particularly impressed with Tatum’s charming performance as the daring and polite fugitive.

‘The Running Man’ (2025)

Edgar Wright’s latest film, based on Stephen King’s novel, is a grittier and more accurate take on the story than the 1987 version. Starring Glen Powell, it follows a man who joins a dangerous reality show where participants are hunted for money. The film paints a picture of a decaying future where people are addicted to violent entertainment, and it works as both a thrilling survival story and a biting commentary on the media. Wright’s energetic directing style makes the action sequences particularly exciting, and the film has become a popular success on the streaming platform.
