What to watch in UAE cinemas and on OTT this weekend: Toxic, Harry Potter and more
This weekend is doing entirely too much. It's the kind of weekend that makes your watchlist look like a hostage note, five different genres, three different continents' worth of trauma, and a cartoon with a legal grudge twenty-five years in the making. Grab the popcorn, block out the weekend, here's what actually deserves your remote and your ticket money. Yash's Toxic beats Dhurandhar's opening…
This weekend's cinema and OTT options offer a diverse lineup of films. Yash's Toxic, despite mixed reviews, has already reached over ₹500 million in opening day takings. The Kannada film follows a gangster navigating loyalty and redemption. Other notable films include Dark Matter Season 2 on Apple TV, which continues the original sequel to Blake Crouch's bestselling novel.
Netflix's The Whisper Man, directed by James Ashcroft and featuring Michael Keaton, delves into a nursery rhyme about a serial killer. For a more intimate experience, Ridley Scott's The Dog Stars explores post-apocalyptic survival through the eyes of a lone pilot. Meanwhile, on OTT platforms, Coyote vs Acme, a Warner Bros. film rescued from cancellation, offers a unique live-action/animation hybrid involving legal battles between a cartoon character and a corporation.
Lastly, Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone is making its 25th anniversary return to UAE cinemas, allowing fans to relive the magic before the new HBO series premieres in December.
