Most popular movies streaming right now

It may be 2024, but you may not know it by looking at the list of the most popular films to stream across all platforms right now. Three '80s classics have cracked the top 20 this week thanks to a slew of reboots. First up is the 1989 movie "Road House," starring Patrick Swayze and Kelly Lynch, which is getting lots of attention thanks to the new remake with Jake Gyllenhaal, Daniela Melchior, and Conor McGregor, which hit Amazon Prime Video on March 21.

Another '80s classic grabbing subscribers' attention is Tim Burton's 1988 movie "Beetlejuice," despite the fact that Halloween is months away. That's likely due to the recent first look at the upcoming Burton-directed sequel, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice." It's expected to hit theaters this September and is set to star much of the original cast: Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O'Hara will reprise their roles, with Jenna Ortega (of Burton's Netflix series "Wednesday") playing the daughter of Ryder's character, Lydia.

Finally, the first "Ghostbusters," which hit theaters in 1984, is still proving incredibly popular, as is its 2024 successor, "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire," which hit theaters on March 22—the latest installment is approaching $140 million at the global box office. The 2021 film in the series, "Ghostbusters: Afterlife," also made its way onto the list of the 20 most popular movies to stream right now.

Another big trend recently among the movies that subscribers are streaming the most has been holiday-themed films in the lead-up to Easter last Sunday, March 31. Mel Gibson's controversial 2004 movie "The Passion of the Christ"; "The Ten Commandments," the 1956 Biblical epic starring Charles Heston; and "Hop," the 2011 animated family-friendly flick about the son of the Easter Bunny, nabbed spots on the list. 

Wondering what else viewers are streaming at the moment? Using data from Reelgood as of April 2, Stacker compiled a list of the 20 most popular movies to stream across all platforms, from Netflix to Hulu and everything in between. Look out for some of the biggest box-office hits and Oscar darlings of 2023, too!
