Upcoming this weekJune 8, 2026

The week ahead: June 8

This week's biggest home-viewing move is Mortal Kombat II, Simon McQuoid's sequel to the 2021 fighting-game adaptation, landing on digital platforms June 9 after its May 8 theatrical run, with Karl Urban's Johnny Cage and Adeline Rudolph's Kitana leading the cast.

It's the clearest example this week of a title moving from cinema to home viewing rather than premiering fresh.

Michael, Antoine Fuqua's Michael Jackson biopic starring Jaafar Jackson, and Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg's alien-contact thriller with Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor, both continue drawing viewers weeks after their own theatrical runs, still on digital rental rather than any subscription service. The Furious, a Hong Kong action film from choreographer-turned-director Kenji Tanigaki starring Joe Taslim and Jeeja Yanin, reaches Hong Kong theaters on June 12, though its release remains regional rather than a wide international rollout.

Streaming brings one confirmed new arrival worth noting: reporting on the week's release slate points to fresh content dropping on Prime Video, though PLOT could not independently verify a title called 'Every Year After' against a matching TMDB entry in time for this roundup, so it's flagged here rather than described in full to avoid stating unconfirmed details as fact.

For a straightforward pick this week: Mortal Kombat II suits action audiences catching up on digital, Michael and Disclosure Day remain the two biggest star-driven holdovers worth a first watch if you missed them in theaters, and The Furious is one for genre completists able to track down a regional release.
