Mike Flanagan’s Carrie gets a full trailer
Prime Video has released the full trailer for Mike Flanagan’s Carrie, an eight-episode miniseries based on Stephen King’s debut novel.
The new version follows Carrie White through bullying, isolation and the frightening discovery of her telekinetic abilities. Flanagan is known for putting emotional character work at the centre of his horror stories, so this adaptation looks set to explore more than just the familiar shock moments.
The full season premieres on Prime Video on October 7. For fans of supernatural horror, Stephen King adaptations and Flanagan’s previous work, this is one of the biggest new TV releases of the autumn.

Margaret Qualley stars in Love of Your Life
The first trailer for Love of Your Life has arrived, giving viewers a look at Margaret Qualley’s latest leading role.
Qualley plays Maya, a young woman attempting to rebuild her life after a failed marriage. The film explores romantic love, friendship and the process of learning to live for yourself. The cast also includes Aaron Pierre and Gabriel Basso.
The movie will receive a limited theatrical release before arriving globally on Prime Video on October 14. It looks like a more emotional choice for viewers who want something quieter between horror films and major franchise releases.

Avatar: Seven Havens introduces a new animated adventure
Paramount+ has released the trailer for ** Avatar: Seven Havens **, the next animated series in the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe.

Based on Karin Slaughter’s novel, the thriller follows estranged sisters Samantha and Charlotte Quinn. Their family was changed forever by a violent event in the past, and the series begins as old secrets start to surface again.
The show looks like a tense, character-led mystery built around family trauma, buried memories and difficult choices. All six episodes are expected to be available on release day, making it an easy choice for a weekend binge.

Box office news: magic, science fiction and survival horror
Practical Magic 2 targets a strong opening
Practical Magic 2 is leading the weekend box-office conversation, with current projections pointing to an opening of around $36 million.
The sequel brings Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman back to their iconic roles and is benefiting from strong nostalgia for the original 1998 film. It is also arriving at a time when audiences are showing renewed interest in familiar franchises and recognisable stars.
If the film reaches or beats expectations, it could become another example of how established titles continue to perform in a crowded cinema market.

Sci-fi thriller Hope makes box-office history
The sci-fi thriller Hope is also attracting attention for its opening-day box-office performance. The film is being discussed as a significant performer in its category, adding another talking point to a busy weekend for cinema releases.
While Practical Magic 2 is using nostalgia and star power, Hope is taking a more original science-fiction route. Its performance will be worth watching as audiences decide whether to spend their weekend with a supernatural sequel or a new speculative thriller.
Resident Evil reboot tracking for a huge global start
The upcoming Resident Evil reboot from director Zach Cregger is reportedly tracking for a global opening in the region of $120–150 million.
That would give the video-game adaptation a major launch and put it among the biggest horror and action openings of the year. The Resident Evil name already has a loyal international fanbase, and Cregger’s involvement has created extra interest following the success of his previous genre work.
The film’s final result will depend on reviews, fan reaction and how strongly it performs outside North America, but these early figures suggest that the franchise still has serious commercial power.
Streaming trends: Mutiny and two international Netflix releases
Jason Statham’s action thriller ** Mutiny ** is making a fast impact after its September 8 digital debut. The film has climbed to the top of Apple’s digital charts, showing that audiences are still ready for a direct, high-energy action movie at home.
The quick move from cinemas to digital has also made the film easier for international viewers to find. It is available through services including Apple TV, Prime Video, Fandango at Home and YouTube Movies & TV, depending on location.

Netflix has also added two new international titles this week.
** Call My Agent! The Movie ** arrived on September 10. The French comedy-drama continues the story of the much-loved talent agency and brings back familiar characters from the original series. It follows the team as they attempt to rescue a film production after a leading actor drops out.
Today, September 11, Netflix adds ** Go Team! **, a Spanish dark comedy about employees at a struggling cheese company. The film explores workplace tension, corporate problems and the chaos that follows when jobs are placed at risk.
These releases are a good reminder that international movies and TV shows are now a regular part of the global streaming conversation. Subtitles are no longer a barrier for many viewers, especially when a strong story or unusual premise starts gaining attention online.
International spotlight: Haiwaan arrives in India
Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan return to the big screen together in ** Haiwaan **, which releases in Indian cinemas today, September 11.
Directed by Priyadarshan, the crime thriller sees Kumar play a dangerous killer while Khan plays a blind martial artist who must protect a young girl. The trailer has teased a dark, intense confrontation, with the two actors facing each other on opposite sides of the story.
The film marks an important on-screen reunion and could be one of the weekend’s major international releases. Fans of Indian cinema can also look forward to a strong blend of action, suspense and psychological drama.
