3 Best Movies To Watch On Prime Video This Weekend (May 16-17)

Prime Video has a lot of great movies to watch this weekend! Last week, I highlighted No Place To Be Single, Despicable Me 4, and The Equalizer. Currently, only the action movie starring Denzel Washington, The Equalizer, is popular with viewers in the US.

Currently, The Equalizer is the 7th most popular movie on Prime Video in the US. Meanwhile, the Prime Video original movie No Place To Be Single is doing very well internationally, ranking as the 2nd most-watched movie on Prime Video worldwide. This means Prime Video subscribers had a good selection of movies to choose from this past weekend.

If you’re craving action this weekend, Prime Video has you covered. They’ve got two big movies starring major Hollywood names. One is a great option if you missed a recent action release on another platform, and the other features one of the biggest action stars working today.

To keep things interesting and avoid recommending only one type of movie, we’ve also included a recent blockbuster hit. It’s the first film in a popular series, and with news about the next installment coming out, it’s a great time to revisit it. Prime Video users should enjoy all three of these releases.

3. A Minecraft Movie (2025)

Leading off our list is A Minecraft Movie, a film that quickly became a major box office hit and sparked a huge conversation online. Based on the incredibly popular game, the movie centers on Jack Black’s character, Steve, as he leads others on an unexpected journey through the world of Minecraft, known as the Overworld.

The Minecraft Movie is a fun, lighthearted adventure about a group trying to find their way home. It was a huge success, earning over $960 million worldwide. With the first photo from A Minecraft Sequel recently released – confirming Kirsten Dunst will return as Alex – it’s a great time to revisit the original before more behind-the-scenes content is revealed.

2. The Accountant 2 (2025)

First up is the highly-rated action movie, The Accountant 2. While critics give it a respectable 75% score on Rotten Tomatoes, audiences loved it, giving it a fantastic 92% rating. Get ready for a thrilling ride – this movie is packed with intense and explosive action that will leave you breathless.

In The Accountant 2, Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal reprise their roles as brothers Christian and Braxton. This time, instead of being enemies, they work together to expose a dangerous conspiracy. With Jon Bernthal recently appearing in The Punisher: One Last Kill on Disney+, The Accountant 2 is a great option for fans looking for more of his work.

1. Mechanic: Resurrection (2016)

Jason Statham continues to prove he’s an action movie master, and Mechanic: Resurrection is a great way to cap off a weekend on Prime Video. He returns as Arthur Bishop, the character from the 2011 film The Mechanic, and this time he’s tasked with making three seemingly accidental deaths happen in incredibly difficult circumstances.

The action movie Mechanic: Resurrection is currently a hit on Prime Video, landing in the Top 10 most-watched films in the U.S. As of today, it’s the 4th most popular movie on the streaming service. Starring Jason Statham alongside Jessica Alba, Tommy Lee Jones, Michelle Yeoh, and others, Mechanic: Resurrection is a thrilling and exciting way to wrap up your weekend on Prime Video.
