Hold onto your popcorn, Memphis! This weekend’s movie lineup is absolutely stacked with must-see films that’ll have you glued to your seat. From biopics that pack a punch to psychological thrillers that’ll mess with your mind, there’s something for every kind of movie lover hitting theaters and streaming services. Whether you’re planning a date night or a solo cinema adventure, these new releases are guaranteed to deliver the entertainment you crave.
First up, Sydney Sweeney is trading her dramatic roles for literal drama in the ring with ‘Christy’ – and early reviews suggest she’s delivering an award-worthy performance as legendary boxer Christy Martin. The Euphoria star apparently trained for months to transform into the groundbreaking fighter, and critics are already calling it her career-best work. If you loved her in [Anyone But You](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26047818/) or want to see her in a completely different light, this biopic looks like a total knockout that’ll leave you cheering.
But that’s not all! Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson are teaming up for the first time in ‘Die My Love,’ an intense psychological thriller that promises to keep you on the edge of your seat. These two A-listers bringing their A-game to a mind-bending story? Sign us up! Meanwhile, horror maestro Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited ‘Frankenstein’ adaptation finally lands on Netflix, bringing his signature visual style to the classic monster tale. Perfect for those who like their weekend viewing with a side of chills.
Early buzz says ‘Christy’ is a total knockout!
For the Memphis film buffs who appreciate award-season contenders, keep your eyes on ‘Sentimental Value’ and ‘Train Dreams’ – both are already generating serious Oscar chatter months before nominations even drop. These are the kind of films that’ll have you discussing them long after the credits roll, perfect for those post-movie coffee shop debates about cinematography, acting, and storytelling. Remember when [Elvis](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3704428/) had everyone talking? These films could be this year’s equivalent in the awards conversation.
With so many incredible options hitting screens this weekend, the real challenge is deciding what to watch first! Whether you’re heading to Malco Theaters downtown or streaming from your couch, there’s no wrong choice in this lineup. From Sydney Sweeney’s transformative performance to del Toro’s haunting vision and those early Oscar contenders, your weekend entertainment is officially sorted.
So tell us, Memphis – what’s at the top of your must-watch list this weekend?
