Not sure what to watch this weekend? Well for those looking for a blockbuster binge, this week boasts several exciting films.

So, without further ado, here is Yahoo’s guide to the movies new to streaming.
Spider-Man: No Way Home | Netflix (pick of the week)
One of the biggest releases of 2021, Spider-Man: No Way Home was a superhero film that lived up to the hype and then some.
Despite constant denials from the likes of Andrew Garfield in the lead up, the film became a sensation when the actor did appear alongside Tobey Maguire to suit up with Tom Holland bring a fun, heartfelt and thrilling tribute to Spider-Man on screen.
The film was the first in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to really bring the multiverse into play in a big way, and it sees 3 Spider-Men teaming up to defeat some of their greatest enemies — what’s not to love?
John Wick: Chapter 4 | Prime Video
The fourth film in the John Wick franchise continues the high-octane momentum of the series, and sees Keanu Reeves return as the retired assassin fighting to destroy the High Table organisation once and for all.
With big sets, a campy villain, and action legends like Donnie Yen and Hiroyuki Sanada bringing new blood into the franchise, the film is another thrilling chapter in the character’s story.
The Boogeyman | Disney+
It’s spooky season so why not enjoy a horror film this week, with The Boogeyman bringing the Stephen King story to life.
The film follows two sisters who are coming to terms with the death of their mother, but when one of their father’s patients visits their home he leaves behind an evil entity that begins terrorising them.
Monster High 2 | Paramount+
For something a little more family friendly, there is Monster High 2 which follows a group of teens with supernatural abilities as they navigate high school life.
