The Mandalorian and Grogu hits theaters this Friday and is about to eat every screen for ten days. Before then, here are five quietly excellent indie films that landed on streaming in the first half of May — verified platforms, no fake hype, all watchable tonight.

This week ends an era — Wednesday May 20, the Boys series finale lands on Prime Video after a Tuesday-night 4DX theatrical preview. Then the weekend hands theaters over to one Star Wars title, with Boots Riley quietly counter-programming on the same day. Here is exactly where to spend your attention from May 18 to May 24.

🎬 This week splits the calendar in half. The first half belongs to Cannes — the 79th festival opens Tuesday with Park Chan-wook chairing the jury, and Christopher Nolan's massive The Odyssey trailer is still echoing from its Late Show drop last Monday. The second half belongs to Wednesday's penultimate The Boys episode and Friday's most interesting new release: Olivier Assayas's political thriller The Wizard of the Kremlin, with Jude Law as Vladimir Putin and Paul Dano as his fictional whisperer. Here's everything worth your screen time between Monday and Sunday.

We're three days into May and this is finally the week things get interesting again. The Terror returns to AMC+ for its long-awaited third season, Hugh Jackman of all people is voicing a shepherd who reads detective novels to his sheep, Mortal Kombat II is crashing the party with $40-50M tracking, and Devil Wears Prada 2 keeps stealing the weekend after that monster $77M opening. Here's what's actually worth your time May 4-10.

Big week. Bigger than I expected, honestly. The Devil Wears Prada 2 finally hits theaters Friday, Man on Fire drops on Netflix Thursday, and there's an animated Animal Farm sneaking into multiplexes too. Here's what's worth your time between April 27 and May 3.

Last week CinemaCon told us what Hollywood is planning. This week, Hollywood shows what actually works — and what doesn't. Michael drops Friday, Boys S5 gets its midpoint shake-up Wednesday, and The Mummy's $13.5M debut is exactly the crash-landing skeptics predicted.

CinemaCon is live in Vegas with every major studio showing off their biggest guns, Lee Cronin's R-rated The Mummy is already scaring the hell out of early audiences, and The Boys keeps dropping bodies in its final season. Here's everything worth watching this week.

This week brings Illumination's Minions & Monsters to the July 4th corridor, Angel Studios bets on Young Washington, and the holdover lineup — Supergirl, Jackass 5, Toy Story 5 — is still pulling crowds. Plus: July's upcoming slate might be the strongest of the entire summer.

Two massive theatrical premieres and a Netflix drop that's about to take over every timeline. The week of June 22 doesn't mess around — here's everything hitting screens and what deserves your time.

Mario blasts off to space, Maul gets his own Star Wars show, and Netflix drops a Belgian drama finale. Here's everything hitting screens this week — and whether it's worth your time.
