Hulu is a great choice for building your next weekend movie marathon. The streaming service regularly adds both originals and classics to its library. Plus, because it's owned by Disney, it's the home for new releases from several Disney-owned studios. It even has deals with some other studios to get new releases before any other service, whether they're produced by Disney or not.
This weekend, I'm choosing one Hulu original getting its premiere this weekend, along with a couple of other new additions. "They Fight" is a new boxing movie starring André Holland and Wendell Pierce, so it's automatically a must-watch. But make sure you also check out "A Real Pain," an Oscar winner from 2024 that was one of my favorite movies that year. Finally, "Daniel Isn't Real" stars Patrick Schwarzenegger as the titular Daniel and is a twisted psychological horror movie.
So, here are the three new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend. For more recommendations, see the full list of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ in July 2026 and check out the 5 new movies and shows to watch this weekend across all the major streaming services.
'They Fight' (2026)
Genre: Sports drama movie
What's it about? Walt (André Holland) is an ex-con trying to reform. It's a struggle until he returns to the boxing gym he had left behind. Now, he's found a purpose: taking this rag-tag group of teenage boys to the Junior National Championships.
Why you need to watch it: I love a boxing movie, and I love Wendell Pierce, who runs the gym that Walt is helping out at. So I'm an easy sell on this movie. But don't sleep on Holland either. He's put in more than a few excellent rounds in his career so far, and this could be another knockout performance.
Watch "They Fight" on Hulu starting July 17
'A Real Pain' (2024)
Genre: Comedy drama movie
What's it about? "A Real Pain" stars Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin as cousins David and Benji. They used to be as close as brothers but grew apart. So when they take a trip to Poland to visit the homeland of their late grandmother, it's not just their Jewish heritage that gets explored. They also reopen their relationship and some of the festering wounds within.
Why you should watch it: This was one of my favorite movies of 2024. Eisenberg not only starred in it, but he wrote and directed it as well. I still can't believe it wasn't nominated for Best Picture, but at least he was nominated for Best Original Screenplay. Culkin deservedly (and easily) won Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Benji, and after watching, you'll see why.

'Daniel Isn't Real' (2019)
Genre: Psychological horror movie
What's it about? Luke (Miles Robbins) witnesses a mass shooting as a kid, and quickly becomes friends with Daniel (Patrick Schwarzenegger), another kid he meets at the scene. Except nobody else can see Daniel, which starts to become a problem when Daniel comes back into Luke's life when the latter is in college.
Why you need to watch it: This movie is not for the faint of heart. It delivers twist after twist, and you won't see the ending coming until it's too late. If you love horror movies, this is a must-watch.
