Latest Theatrical Arrivals on Prime Video
Recent premium releases you can rent or buy
Prime Video adds recent theatrical movies after their initial window, often within a few months. These titles require a separate rental or purchase and vary by region.
Look for new horror, drama, and action films that appear in the "New Releases" section. Availability changes as licensing agreements evolve.
Prime-Included Movies and Originals
Thousands of titles covered by your membership
Your Prime subscription includes a rotating set of movies marked "Included with Prime." These range from classic films to original Amazon productions.
Amazon Originals like "The Boys" and genre films produced for Prime are available at no extra cost while they remain in the catalog.
Catalog Depth by Genre and Region
What you find when you browse specifically
Prime Video offers a broad catalog, with strong offerings in comedy, family, and international cinema. Niche genres may have smaller libraries compared to general categories.
Regional catalogs differ, so users in different countries see varying lineups even under the same Prime membership.

Do I need a separate subscription to watch Amazon Originals?
No, Amazon Originals included with Prime do not require an additional subscription as long as your membership is active.
