2026 would be viewed as a breakout year for Anne Hathaway if she wasn’t already one of the biggest movie stars in the world. 2025 was a quiet year for Hathaway after starring in The Idea of You for Prime Video back in 2024, but she got off to a hot start in 2026 with Mother Mary, the A24-produced epic that’s currently streaming on HBO Max. She followed Mother Mary by reprising her role as Andy in The Devil Wears Prada 2, which grossed nearly $700 million at the box office before going on to become a streaming hit on Disney Plus. Hathaway then reunited with Christopher Nolan for The Odyssey, and she can even be seen in theaters now in the new Colleen Hoover-inspired erotic thriller, Verity.
Between The Odyssey and Verity, though, Anne Hathaway teamed up with Star Wars veteran Ewan McGregor for a wild ride of a sci-fi movie that’s finally heading to streaming. We’re talking, of course, about The End of Oak Street, the Jurassic Park replacement film that was written and directed by David Robert Mitchell. The movie went viral the week before release for AI marketing tactics that turned some fans off from watching it, but it still managed to scrounge together $121 million at the box office — the studio would have liked to see more, though, considering the film cost $85 million to make. After a successful run on VOD the last few weeks that has seen The End of Oak Street surge into the top 10 on Prime Video, HBO Max announced this afternoon that the sci-fi film will officially join its streaming library on November 13.

Scan completeYou would survive
▦︎ The Matrix The Resistance, Zion You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
You would survive The Matrix because you were never fully sold on the version of reality you were handed. You notice the seams. You ask the second question. In a world built to keep people comfortable and incurious, that instinct is the whole fight, and it is why Morpheus would have found you long before you found him. From the Collider file
- The Wachowskis' 1999 film won four Academy Awards, including Visual Effects and Film Editing.
- Bullet time was shot with a rig of roughly 120 still cameras firing in sequence around the actors.
- Keanu Reeves trained in martial arts for about four months before a frame was shot, recovering from neck surgery the whole time.
- It opened the same year as Fight Club and eXistenZ, in a run of films about not trusting the world in front of you.
Red pill energy Pattern spotter Built to question
◈︎ Mad Max The Wasteland Oh, what a day. What a lovely day.
You would survive the Wasteland because you do not waste energy mourning the world that ended. You move, you improvise, and you are very good with whatever is bolted to the thing in front of you. Furiosa would let you drive. That is not a compliment anybody earns easily. From the Collider file
- Mad Max: Fury Road won six Academy Awards in 2016, more than any other film that year.
- George Miller storyboarded the entire film as roughly 3,500 panels before there was a script.
- The chase was shot almost entirely practical in the Namib Desert, with real vehicles and real stunt performers.
- Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth carried the prequel, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, in 2024.
Keeps moving Improviser Good with engines
◑︎ Blade Runner Los Angeles, 2049 All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
You would survive 2049 because you know how to be small in a very loud city. You keep your head down, you do the job, and you hold onto one private thing that belongs only to you. That quiet stubbornness is exactly what both Deckard and K run on, and it is what keeps either of them going when the case stops making sense. From the Collider file
- Blade Runner 2049 won Roger Deakins his first Oscar for cinematography, on his fourteenth nomination.
- The film also took Best Visual Effects, 35 years after Ridley Scott's 1982 original.
- Villeneuve shot it on large-format film and kept the fog and rain practical on set wherever he could.
- Three short films by Luke Scott and Shinichiro Watanabe bridge the 30-year gap between the two movies.
Keeps her head down Private Noir soul
▲︎ Dune Arrakis Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
You would survive Arrakis because you think in decades while everyone around you thinks in weeks. You read the room, you learn the customs, you wait. The desert does not reward speed. It rewards people who understand that patience is a weapon, which is the one lesson the Fremen never had to be taught. From the Collider file
- Denis Villeneuve's Dune won six Academy Awards in 2022, including Cinematography and Original Score.
- Hans Zimmer turned down Christopher Nolan's Tenet so he could score Dune instead.
- Dune: Part Two arrived in 2024 and brought in Austin Butler, Florence Pugh and Christopher Walken.
- David Lynch's 1984 version and Alejandro Jodorowsky's unmade one are both their own legends by now.
Plays the long game Reads the room Patient
✦︎ Star Wars A Galaxy Far, Far Away Rebellions are built on hope.
You would survive the galaxy because you never try to survive it alone. You collect people. You end up in the middle of other folks' problems and you stay anyway. Every version of this story, from the Falcon's crew to the Ghost's, runs on somebody exactly like that holding the group together. From the Collider file
- The 1977 original won six Academy Awards plus a special achievement award for sound effects.
- John Williams' score was recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra and became the best-selling symphonic film soundtrack ever.
- Andor took the galaxy somewhere colder and earned Emmy nominations for drama series in both seasons.
- The saga now runs across eleven feature films and a growing shelf of series on Disney+.

The official synopsis for the film, which holds solid marks of 86% from critics and 76% from audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, reads as follows: “After a mysterious cosmic event rips Oak Street from suburbia and transports their neighborhood to someplace unknown, the Platt family soon discovers that their very survival depends on them sticking together as they navigate their now unrecognizable surroundings.”
