Best Movies to Stream This Weekend: Netflix, Max, and More (Feb 7–9)

Netflix, Max, and other streamers are rolling out new movies for the weekend of February 7–9, 2025. Amy Schumer's comedy "Kinda Pregnant" and the romance "We Live in Time" on Max lead the list of fresh options.

"Kinda Pregnant" hit Netflix on February 5. Schumer plays a Brooklyn teacher who fakes a pregnancy to keep up with her best friend, then meets someone new while keeping up the ruse. "We Live in Time" arrives on Max this weekend as a poignant romance. Theatrically, "Love Hurts" (Ke Huy Quan action comedy) and "Heart Eyes" (Valentine-themed slasher) are the weekend's main releases for those heading to cinemas.

Background

Streaming services routinely drop new films on Fridays or in the preceding days to capture weekend viewing. February 2025 is no exception, with a mix of originals and library additions. This weekend also overlaps with Super Bowl LIX on Sunday; Netflix is promoting related content such as the documentaries "Jennifer Lopez: Halftime" and "Beyoncé Bowl" for viewers who want football-adjacent programming.

What's New on Netflix

"Kinda Pregnant" is the standout new movie on Netflix for this weekend. The comedy targets viewers who want something light and topical. Netflix's "What to Watch" roundups for the weekend of February 7 also highlight other recent additions and catalog picks, so the homepage and "New Releases" section are the best place to see the full list.

What's New on Max and Others

Max adds "We Live in Time" this weekend. Polygon's February 2025 roundup of best new movies to stream also flags "Phantom Thread" (Daniel Day-Lewis) as an editor's pick across services, along with underrated crime comedies and period dramas on Netflix, Hulu, Max, and Prime Video. Tom's Guide and MovieWeb publish weekly "best movies to stream this weekend" lists that include Netflix, Max, Peacock, and others.

Impact

Searches for "movies streaming this weekend" peak every Friday as people decide what to watch. Services benefit from having at least one recognizable new title; Schumer and the Max romance fill that role for this frame. Theatrical releases like "Love Hurts" and "Heart Eyes" offer an alternative for viewers who prefer the cinema.

What's Next

New films will continue to drop on Fridays across Netflix, Max, Hulu, Prime Video, and Peacock. Check each service's "New" or "Coming This Week" section and roundups from Tom's Guide, Polygon, and MovieWeb for the latest recommendations.
