If musicals aren’t your thing, that’s all right; there’s plenty of other exciting releases to enjoy on VOD and streaming this weekend! Den of Thieves 2: Pantera comes to Netflix this week alongside Revelations, the new psychological horror thriller from Train to Busan director Yeon Sang-ho.
We’ve got the Oscar-winning drama Anora on Hulu and the woefully underrated Sing Sing on Max, not to mention Last Breath, Cleaner, and Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League on VOD alongside reduced pricing on recent releases like The Brutalist, Nosferatu, and The Room Next Door!
