Whether you’re in the front seat or the back seat, it’s Friday and you’re definitely feeling those chill summer Friday vibes. Toss your work clothes into the wash and bust out your favorite tee, because maximum comfort awaits you. Know what else awaits you? New movie releases! Whether you use Amazon Video, iTunes, Vudu or your cable’s on demand service, there are a lot of new releases out there waiting to be rented or purchased.
As of today, a few big deal movies are finally available to rent. If you’ve been holding off on seeing Scarlett Johansson in Ghost in the Shell or Chris Evans in Gifted, you’ll be happy to know that you can check those movies out at a fraction of their purchase price. The same goes for The Boss Baby, the animated hit featuring the voice of Alec Baldwin as a hyper intellectual and cunning baby.
What else can you buy or rent this week? Find out by taking a look at the collection of medieval action, raucous comedies, and animated features now available for you to enjoy from the comfort of your very own home!
Snatched
Goldie Hawn and Amy Schumer became a comedy combo for this R-rated comedy from earlier this year. The pair play a mother and daughter who run afoul of criminals while overseas and get, as the title teases, “snatched.” If you’re looking for a laugh this weekend, Snatched may be your movie (although you’ll have to wait a few weeks to rent it). It might even be a fun watch with your mom–that is, if you’re okay with watching an R-rated comedy with your mother.
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
If you wanna go medieval this weekend, then fire up King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. This would-be-blockbuster comes from Guy Ritchie, the director that made Sherlock Holmes a big screen badass, and stars Charlie Hunnam in the title role. This movie definitely flew under your radar when it was released back in May (in-between Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Wonder Woman), because it might just be the biggest box office bomb of all time, having lost an estimated $150 million. Come on, doesn’t that make you want to see what all the fuss wasn’t about? And if you don’t want to pay full price today, you’ll be able to rent it in a few weeks.

The Great Gatsby
Between Z: The Beginning of Everything and The Last Tycoon, there’s a lot of renewed interest around F. Scott Fitzgerald (thanks, Amazon!). Why not spend the weekend traveling back to 1974 for one of the many feature film adaptations of Fitzgerald’s most popular work, The Great Gatsby. Starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow (the two actors that pop into your head when you think “’70s superstars”), this film adaptation scored two Oscars for costume design and music. You don’t have to be as wealthy as a 1920s socialite to check out The Great Gatsby, because it’s available to rent for just $0.99 for a limited time!
