10 New Movies to Watch This Weekend on Netflix, HBO Max, and Hulu (September 11-13)

Disney’s live-action adaptation of Moana arrives on video-on-demand, starring Dwayne Johnson as Maui and Catherine Laga’aia as Moana. The film closely follows the 2016 animated version’s plot, with minor adjustments to Maui’s dialogue and additional visual gags for the chicken Heihei. Director Thomas Kail expands Polynesian cultural elements, incorporating synchronized dance sequences into village scenes. The movie retains the original’s core story of Moana’s ocean voyage to restore her island home.

James Gunn’s Supergirl debuts on HBO Max, introducing Kara Zor-El before her Superman appearance. The film follows her pursuit of a mercenary across space while protecting her dog Krypto, blending Gunn’s signature style with Guardians-esque chaos. Director Craig Gillespie and writer Ana Nogueira lean into Gunn’s subversive humor and sentimental superhero tone. Despite middling reviews and box office performance, the movie sets up future DC Universe developments.

Mutiny, Jason Statham’s latest action thriller, shifts from theaters to VOD after a troubled release. Statham plays Cole Reed, a bodyguard framed for murder who uncovers a conspiracy aboard a pirate-filled cargo ship. The film’s late-August theatrical debut underperformed, prompting its early digital availability. The shift aims to salvage its commercial prospects following a bungled launch.

One Night Only, inspired by a viral meme, arrives on streaming after its theatrical run. Set in an alternate New York, the film follows two singles navigating a 12-hour government-approved window for premarital sex. The French series Call My Agent! also expands into a Netflix movie, reuniting its original cast to explore a former talent agent’s directorial debut. Additional titles include a Victorian-era mystery and a post-apocalyptic AI detective story.
