Here’s a look at the movies currently performing best on the platform, based on how many people are watching.

‘Scary Movie 3’ (2003)

‘Scary Movie 3’ takes the series in a new direction with director David Zucker, focusing more on silly, physical comedy. The movie mainly spoofs popular horror films like ‘The Ring’ and ‘Signs’, but also includes jokes referencing movies such as ‘8 Mile’ and ‘The Matrix’. Anna Faris is back as Cindy Campbell, and she finds herself investigating a strange video and odd patterns appearing in fields. This film is a bit more family-friendly than previous ‘Scary Movie’ installments, aiming for a wider audience with a PG-13 rating. The cast also includes stars like Charlie Sheen, Regina Hall, and Queen Latifah.

‘Friday the 13th’ (1980)

The first ‘Friday the 13th’ movie is about a group of camp counselors who are hunted down and murdered by a mysterious killer. The story takes place at Camp Crystal Lake, which has reopened after a tragic drowning years before. This film is famous for setting the standard for slasher horror movies and spawned a hugely successful series. It features performances by Adrienne King, Betsy Palmer, and a young Kevin Bacon, and is particularly known for its realistic special effects makeup created by Tom Savini.

‘Regretting You’ (2025)

“Regretting You” is a movie based on the bestselling novel by Colleen Hoover. It tells the story of Morgan Grant and her daughter, Clara, as they cope with loss and secrets after a devastating event. The film follows their journey to heal and reconnect. Starring Allison Williams and Mckenna Grace, and directed by Josh Boone, this emotional drama explores themes of family, young love, and the impact of hidden truths.

‘Due Justice’ (2023)

In the action thriller ‘Due Justice,’ Kellan Lutz plays Max, a former Marine who seeks revenge after his wife is murdered and his daughter is kidnapped by a human trafficking operation. The film follows Max’s determined and brutal journey through a dangerous criminal underworld as he desperately tries to find his daughter. Directed by Javier Reyna and also starring Jeff Fahey and Efren Ramirez, ‘Due Justice’ is a story about a father’s unwavering love and his quest for personal justice.

‘The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie’ (2004)

‘The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie’ launched the popular cartoon series into the world of full-length films. SpongeBob and Patrick go on a dangerous quest to Shell City to get back King Neptune’s stolen crown. They need to succeed to save Mr. Krabs from Neptune’s anger and foil Plankton’s scheme to take over the world. The movie is well-known for blending classic cartoon animation with scenes featuring real people, like David Hasselhoff. It’s an important film for the series, connecting the TV show to the larger SpongeBob universe.

‘Scary Movie 2’ (2001)

As a big fan of spoof movies, I always have a blast with ‘Scary Movie 2’. It basically takes the tropes from classic haunted house and possession films like ‘The Haunting’ and ‘The Exorcist’ and just goes wild with them. The plot centers around Cindy and her friends getting stuck in a spooky mansion as part of some crazy scientific study led by the hilarious Tim Curry as Professor Oldman. It’s got that same over-the-top, quick-fire humor the Wayans brothers nailed in the first movie, and the cast is fantastic – Chris Elliott, Kathleen Robertson, and even Tori Spelling all bring the funny. It’s just a really silly, fun ride.

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ (2022)

In ‘Top Gun: Maverick,’ Tom Cruise reprises his famous role as Pete Mitchell, now a seasoned pilot with over thirty years of experience. He’s assigned to train a group of elite graduates for a dangerous mission. Among them is Rooster, the son of Maverick’s late friend and wingman, Goose. The movie explores the challenges of facing past mistakes while navigating the complexities of modern combat. It’s been praised for its realistic flight scenes and powerful emotional story.

‘Roofman’ (2025)

“Roofman” tells the real-life story of Jeffrey Manchester, a unique and infamous criminal. The movie follows his journey after he became known for breaking into McDonald’s restaurants by climbing onto the roofs. Channing Tatum plays Manchester, showing his life as a fugitive and how he eventually hid inside a store. Directed by Derek Cianfrance, the film delves into the strange details of his crimes and his ultimate capture. The movie also stars Kirsten Dunst and Peter Dinklage.

‘Scary Movie’ (2000)

‘Scary Movie’ kicked off a very popular series of comedy films by playfully imitating popular horror movies from the late 1990s, especially ‘Scream’ and ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’. The movie follows a group of teenagers who are being hunted by someone wearing a mask. Keenen Ivory Wayans directed the film, using over-the-top humor and satire to poke fun at the typical slasher movie. Anna Faris had her first major role as Cindy Campbell, a character who is tough but often bewildered. The film was a huge success in theaters, leading to four sequels and several other related projects.

‘The Running Man’ (2025)

Edgar Wright’s ‘The Running Man’ is a new take on the Stephen King novel (originally published under the name Richard Bachman). Starring Glen Powell as Ben Richards, the film follows a man forced to compete in a dangerous, government-run game show in a bleak future. To earn his freedom, he must outrun skilled hunters. This adaptation strives to be truer to King’s book than the 1987 movie, focusing on intense survival and offering a critique of how we consume media.
