Movies you (probably) skippedWelcome to Movies You (Probably) Skipped, a monthly column where I pick out the best new releases that didn't pull in the crowds on the big screen, but deserve a second chance now they've arrived on streaming.As a dedicated movie theater goer — I recently caught my 50th movie on the big screen in 2026 — I watch a lot in cinemas. Amongst the tentpole blockbusters and box office breakouts, every month, I inevitably end up watching some good (often even great) films that don’t quite get the attention they deserve. And that’s why I created this monthly column.Below, I’m highlighting five movies that recently arrived on streaming that didn’t manage to score huge audiences in theaters. That is no indication of their quality. It just proves that getting viewers off their couches and into a cinema has never been more difficult. These films deserve a second chance now that they can be enjoyed from the comfort of your home.My picks for June 2026 include a pair of British thrillers (gotta support my native land) alongside a chilling paranormal horror. But for viewers looking for lighter watches, there’s also a charming sci-fi animated adventure and a documentary that brings The King to life. These are the 5 movies you (probably) skipped in theaters, but need to watch now on streaming.‘Wasteman’ (PVOD)
