Club Benefits
Paramount+ is a great streaming service for building your next movie marathon. It adds dozens of movies at the beginning of each month; it just added 93 new movies and shows on June 1. Plus, it adds new movies from Paramount Skydance studios on an ongoing basis, one of which makes the list this week.
But with all these newly added movies to choose from, it can be tough to know which movie to start with. The good news for you is that I've looked through the list and found three movies you need to watch first this weekend, including one of my favorite movies to rewatch. There's also a new Elvis documentary from Baz Luhrmann, whose 2022 Elvis biopic earned a Best Picture nomination. Last but not least, there's a brand new installment of the "Scream" franchise that is finally streaming at home.
Here are the three new to Paramount+ movies that you need to be streaming this weekend. If you need more recommendations, check out our full guide to everything new on Paramount+ in June 2026.

'The Big Short' (2015)
Genre: Biographical comedy-drama movie
What's it about? "The Big Short" is set around the 2008 financial crisis, and features an incredible ensemble cast. It essentially divides its time between three separate groups, starting with Dr. Michael Burry (Christian Bale), who first starts to short the housing market. Through Jared Vennett (Ryan Gosling), this news makes it to Mark Baum's (Steve Carell) team, who promptly also starts to short the mortgage sector. Then we meet a duo of young investment bankers mentored by Ben Rickert (Brad Pitt), and they also join in once they learn of the shorts. In the end, they walk away rich while the U.S. economy collapses.
Why you should watch it: This comedy-drama is one of my favorite movies to rewatch. I watch it whenever I have writer's block, as the storytelling immediately grabs me and allows me to reset my mind whenever I'm stuck writing a piece. You probably won't watch it for that reason, but you definitely should watch it.

'EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert' (2026)
Genre: Concert documentary movie
What's it about? As part of his preparation for "Elvis," director Baz Luhrmann brought in 68 boxes of tapes that were loaded with iconic Elvis Presley performances. There was just one problem: there was no sound. "EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert" brings the restored footage, with audio, to the screen, giving you not just incredible Elvis concert scenes, but parts of previously unheard recordings of Elvis discussing his life story.
Why you should watch it: If the King of Rock and Roll is one of your favorite musicians, this documentary promises to be an incredible experience. But even if it's not, it looks like a stunning piece of music history preservation. Definitely don't miss this one now that it's finally streaming.

'Scream 7' (2026)
Genre: Slasher horror movie
What's it about? "Scream 7" brings back Neve Campbell to the world of slasher horror, reprising her role as Sidney Prescott. In this latest installment of the "Scream" franchise, she's rebuilt her life in Indiana and hopes to leave Ghostface in the past. But when the killer reveals himself to her and targets her daughter, Tatum (Isabel May), she and Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox) team up to take him down.
Why you should watch it: "Scream" completionists or horror movie buffs will want to check this movie out, but be warned: you might not like it. Critics were not fans of this movie, at least according to Rotten Tomatoes. That said, audiences found it far more enjoyable, so it's still worth a watch.
