The movies you'll stream this summer, the ones you'll watch on-demand, and the ones you'll (maybe) see in theaters
Photo-Illustration: Maya Robinson/Vulture and Photos Courtesy of Studios No matter how many times Christopher Nolan assures us his new film, Tenet, set to be released in theaters in July, will revive the much-missed cinema-going experience, and no matter how many times a local reporter reminds us that, hey, at least drive-ins are thriving, we must acknowledge that 2020 will be an odd year for summer movies.
With that in mind, we’ve created a list of movies you can expect to see this summer, with a few major caveats: You’ll have to stream many of them from the comforts of your own home or by springing for on-demand screenings while shutdowns stretch on. Others, they just might go the way of Top Gun: Maverick and The French Dispatch, delayed further down the calendar, Nolan forbid indefinitely. What is a summer without movie theaters? That’s another discussion entirely.
The Movies You’ll Stream The Vast of Night This microbudget sci-fi debut might be the best discovery of what’s been an admittedly bent and broken movie year. Part Twilight Zone, part David Fincher, Andrew Patterson’s film takes place over the course of a night in a small 1950s New Mexico community experiencing what could be an extraterrestrial encounter.
The Movies You’ll Watch on Demand The King of Staten Island Pete Davidson’s scattering of film work has been streaming heavy, with seemingly random supporting roles in Netflix’s Set It Up and The Dirt giving way to a more memorable turn as the older bestie/bad influence in Hulu’s Big Time Adolescence. Before the pandemic, The King of Staten Island was set up to be the SNL star’s shot at making a big-screen splash — his very own Trainwreck, directed by Judd Apatow.
