This weekend’s movie lineup has something for almost every kind of viewer: a glossy legacy sequel for fans of The Devil Wears Prada, a new Pixar adventure for families, a moody literary adaptation for streaming audiences, and several horror titles for anyone looking for a late-night scare.
Whether you are heading to the theater, renting something at home, or scrolling through your streaming subscriptions, here are the biggest new movie options to check out.
Nearly 20 years after Miranda Priestly, Andy Sachs, Emily Charlton and Nigel first made the fashion world feel both glamorous and terrifying, The Devil Wears Prada 2 brings the original cast back to Runway Magazine.
Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci return for the sequel, which revisits the media and fashion industries in a very different era. The new story appears to lean into the decline of print magazines, the pressures of digital media, and the way old power structures are being forced to adapt.
For fans of the 2006 original, the main draw is simple: seeing these characters share the screen again. But the sequel also seems built around a more modern question — what happens when the world that made Miranda Priestly powerful starts disappearing?

Adam Scott steps into darker territory with Hokum, a horror film from Irish director Damian McCarthy. Scott plays a horror novelist who travels to a remote Irish inn, only to become tangled in eerie local legends and disturbing visions.
The setup may sound familiar — a haunted location, buried trauma, and a protagonist with secrets — but the appeal here is the mix of psychological horror, unsettling atmosphere and Scott’s dry comic energy.

The official Hokum site lists the film as a May 1, 2026 theatrical release from NEON, directed by Damian McCarthy and starring Adam Scott.
Andy Serkis’ animated take on George Orwell’s Animal Farm is another theatrical option this weekend. This version turns the famous political allegory into a more family-friendly animated film, featuring a large voice cast and a lighter tone than the original novel.
It may divide viewers who love Orwell’s darker source material, but it could work for families looking for an animated film with bigger ideas underneath the talking-animal surface.

Director Renny Harlin returns to shark-movie territory with Deep Water, a survival thriller about passengers whose plane crashes in the Pacific Ocean. After surviving the crash, the group must face another danger: sharks circling the wreckage.
It is a straightforward disaster-meets-creature-feature setup, which could make it a solid choice for viewers who want suspense, action and ocean terror.

Pixar’s Hoppers is now available for digital rental or purchase after its theatrical run. The animated adventure follows Mabel, a young animal lover who uses experimental technology to place her consciousness inside a robotic beaver.
The story mixes environmental themes, animal comedy and sci-fi imagination, making it one of the weekend’s strongest family-friendly home-viewing options.

For viewers in the mood for horror-comedy, Forbidden Fruits offers a stylish mix of mall culture, witchcraft and mean-girl tension. The movie follows employees at a Free People-style store where a secret coven operates after hours.
Produced by Diablo Cody and starring Lili Reinhart, Lola Tung, Victoria Pedretti and Alexandra Shipp, the film looks like it is aiming for a campy, sharp-edged cult favorite vibe.

Zazie Beetz leads They Will Kill You, a violent horror-action comedy about a woman who accepts a housekeeping job in a mysterious New York high-rise. Unfortunately, the building may be connected to disappearances, sinister rituals and a very dangerous group of wealthy residents.
The cast also includes Tom Felton, Heather Graham and Patricia Arquette, giving the film a stronger ensemble than viewers might expect from a genre rental pick.

Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights brings Emily Brontë’s classic novel back to the screen with a highly stylized, sensual approach. The film stars Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, focusing heavily on the destructive pull between the two characters.
This version may not satisfy viewers looking for a traditional literary adaptation, but it should appeal to audiences drawn to bold visuals, modern music choices and messy romantic obsession.

Hallow Road is a contained psychological thriller starring Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys as parents racing through the night after receiving a terrifying call from their daughter.
The film’s small-scale setup gives it a tense, claustrophobic feel, making it a good option for viewers who prefer dread and emotional pressure over loud horror spectacle.
Watch the trailer:
The trailer synopsis describes the story as two parents responding to a late-night call after their daughter causes a tragic accident.
The latest Silent Night, Deadly Night reimagines the 1984 cult slasher about a killer shaped by childhood trauma and Christmas violence. This remake updates the story for a new horror audience while keeping the holiday-slasher hook intact.
It is probably best saved for genre fans who like their seasonal horror bloody, strange and intentionally over-the-top.
Watch the trailer:
The trailer describes the film as a twisted reimagining of the controversial original about Billy, who witnesses his parents’ murder and grows into a holiday killer.
For the biggest crowd-pleaser, start with The Devil Wears Prada 2. For families, Hoppers is the safest bet. Horror fans have several choices, but Hokum looks like the strongest theatrical option, while Hallow Road is a good streaming pick for a quieter, more anxious kind of scare.
And for anyone who wants something stylish, divisive and dramatic, Wuthering Heights may be the weekend’s most talked-about streaming release.
