According to FlixPatrol, 300: Rise of an Empire is currently a Top 10 movie on Netflix in many countries. However, it’s not available to stream in the United States right now.

The new series Starfleet Academy is set 300 years in the future of Star Trek, fulfilling a long-held wish among fans. However, framing it as a spin-off of Discovery wasn’t popular with everyone. Despite this, the show’s many nods to older Star Trek series have gradually won over even critical viewers. Since the first season also served as a celebration of Star Trek‘s 60th anniversary, it’s unclear whether the second season will include as many hidden references and inside jokes.
Those three films covered a lot of ground in terms of genre, offering Prime Video viewers plenty to choose from over the weekend.

What makes the 1989 Studio Ghibli film Kiki’s Delivery Service so endearing is its honest portrayal of the challenges of everyday life, seen through the eyes of a young girl learning to become independent.
