Jackpot! – In the near future, a “Grand Lottery” has been newly established in California — the catch: kill the winner before sundown to legally claim their multi-billion dollar jackpot. When Katie Kim (Awkwafina) inadvertently finds herself with the winning ticket, she joins forces with Noel Cassidy (John Cena), who will do everything in his power to keep her safe in exchange for a piece of her prize. However, Louis Lewis (Simu Liu) seeks to collect Katie’s commission at all costs. Debuts August 15 on Prime Video.

The Union – Mike  (Mark Wahlberg) is happy living a simple life as a construction worker until his long-lost high school sweetheart, Roxanne (Halle Berry), shows up with more on her mind than romance. She recruits Mike on a dangerous intelligence mission in Europe that thrusts them back together into a world of spies and high-speed car chases, with sparks flying along the way. Debuts August 16 on Netflix.

IF – While 12-year-old Mae’s (Cailey Fleming) father (John Krasinski) awaits surgery, she stays with her grandmother in an apartment in Brooklyn. Worried about her father, Mae gets a distraction when she believes she sees a little girl going into an apartment on the third floor of the same building. She knocks at the door, where she meets Cal (Ryan Reynolds), who lives with a number of imaginary friends (IFs) who have been forgotten or discarded by their children. Debuts August 13 on DVD and Blu-ray.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga – As the world fell, young Furiosa (Anya Taylor-Joy) was snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus (Chris Hemsworth). She must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home. Debuts August 13 on DVD and Blu-ray.

Thelma – Thelma (June Squibb), 93, falls for a scam call and sends $10,000 in cash to a P.O. box.
