Netflix, Prime Video Release Major 2025 Movie Slates

Prime Video has secured a multi-year deal with Maddock Films to exclusively stream eight upcoming Bollywood films, including highly anticipated titles like Thama, Param Sundari, Badlapur 2, and Shiddat 2, following their theatrical releases. Thama, a Hindi horror-comedy starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, is part of Maddock's Horror-Comedy Universe. Meanwhile, Prime Video's original movie Heads of State, starring John Cena and Idris Elba, has become one of Amazon MGM Studios' top-performing films, amassing 75 million views and ranking fourth among their all-time most-watched movies. Another Prime Video film, The Map That Leads to You, despite mixed critical reviews, currently tops the U.S. streaming charts. On Netflix, 2025 continues to be a strong year for original content with notable titles like The Thursday Murder Club and Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, featuring star-studded casts and promising to launch ongoing franchises. Additionally, Netflix offers a selection of intense, violent films such as Message from the King and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, catering to viewers interested in hard-R action and horror movies.
